CLEVELAND — Dermatology and rheumatology often work together in the treatment of psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis.

In this video perspective from the Medical Dermatology Therapy Update III meeting, M. Elaine Husni, MD, MPH, vice chair of the department of rheumatic and immunologic disease and director of the arthritis and musculoskeletal center at the Cleveland Clinic, discusses psoriatic arthritis from a rheumatology perspective.

With shared therapeutics and approximately 30% of patients with psoriasis transitioning to psoriatic arthritis in the course of their disease, sharing information between specialties helps to take care of patients as a whole, she said.
