AB AT-A-GLANCEPsoriatic  arthritis  is  a  progressive  inflammatory  musculoskeletal  disease  occurring  in  about  a  third  of  people  with  psoriasis.Psoriatic  arthritis  is  underdiagnosed.Clinical  presentation  is  heterogeneous  and  variably  includes  the  following  manifestations:  peripheral  arthritis,  spondyloarthritis  (inflammatory  arthritis  of  the  spine),  enthesitis  (inflammation  at  the  insertion  sites  of  ligaments  and  tendons  onto  bone),  and  dactylitis  (full-thickness  inflammation  of  digits  and  toes).Associated  extramusculoskeletal  manifestations  in  addition  to  skin  and  nail  psoriasis  are  inflammatory  eye  disease  and  inflammatory  bowel  disease.Several  genetic  risk  factors  have  been  identified  for  psoriatic  arthritis.Serology  for  the  rheumatoid  factor  is  usually  negative  and  inflammatory  markers  may  be  normal.Prompt  recognition,  pharmacologic  treatment,  and  disease  monitoring  are  necessary  to  prevent  damage  and  improve  long-term  outcomes  for  psoriatic  arthritis.
