Abstract
- We present a case of generalized pustular psoriasis in a 47-year-old female who was treated with cyclosporine and methotrexate. She developed generalized pustular eruptions after irregular therapy of steroid and etretinate for severe psoriasis. Treatment with cyclosporine and a steroid supplement produced much improvement, but during the tapering of cyclosporine there was aggravation with pusutules and fever. She was placed on methotrexate therapy. The pustules and erythema began to remit, and eventual clearing of the skin lesions was achieved in 4 months after introduction of methotrexate.
