Summary
Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is at present regarded as multifaceted disease with multiple manifestations. Apart from inflammatory involvement of joint or tendon synovium (arthritis and tenosynovitis respectively) inflammation of the attachment of the tendon into the bone (enthesitis) and diffuse swelling of the whole digit (dactylitis) may participate on clinical manifestation of PsA. Psoriatic skin involvement is essential for the diagnosis, be it present at the examination, or in the past, or even in first degree relatives. It would be therefore more appropriate to call it „psoriatic disease“. This complexity is after all reflected in the new classification criteria for PsA (CASPAR.). It has also its consequences in the assessment of disease activity which, besides of arthritis should also assess the other manifestations mentioned above. Experts of GRAPPA (Group for research and assessment of psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis) as well as of EULAR (European League against Rheumatism) are searching the best way to assess the activity of the disease in its complexity. The recommendations of the Czech Society of Rheumatology date back to the year 2005. These new developments led us to set up the new recommendations, which are mainly based on the EULAR ones. The therapy is divided in four levels, the indications for biological therapy are mentioned separately.
Key words:
psoriatic arthritis, classification criteria, enthesitis, dactylitis, recommendations of therapy, composite disease activity index, biologic therapy of PsA
