THE DIFFERENCES IN THE APPROACH TO PSORIASIS BASED ON PATIENT AGE

Résumé

Psoriasis is no longer an unknown disease; it has been studied extensively worldwide. It can affect people of all ages, making it necessary to differentiate between the childhood and adult forms of the disease. Based on the debut age, one can determine the prognosis, the different immunopathologies, differential diagnosis and treatment, thereby requiring a different approach and special attention in childhood psoriasis. Being a mutilating disease, the quality of life of the children become a big challenge for both the patient and their family. The multidisciplinary team is a necessity because of the possible comorbidities that can occur in the case of children. The family doctor is the first point of contact for the patient, followed by a paediatrician and then a dermatologist.
