Question

A form of this disease is difficult to distinguish pathologically from a drug reaction called AGEP. A severe form of this disease can be treated using spesolimab, an IL-36 inhibitor. Tissue affected by this disease may be surrounded by pale rings named for Woronoff and shows Munro microabscesses and elongated thin rete (“ree-tee”) ridges. A high risk of this disease is conferred by the HLA-C*06:02 (“H-L-A-C-oh-six-oh-two”) polymorphism. Streptococcal infections can trigger flares of this disease’s “guttate” form. Telescoping fingers (10[1])and sausage digits can occur (-5[1])in an arthritis associated with this disease, which also causes oil spots and nail pitting. (10[1])This disease is treated with vitamin D derivatives like calcipotriene. (-5[1])This disease, which has plaque and pustular subtypes, (10[2])preferentially affects the extensor surfaces of (10[1])the elbows (10[1])and knees, unlike (10[1])eczema (“EX-uh-muh”). For 10 (10[2])points, name (10[1])this skin (10[1])disease that causes (10[1])itchy (10[1])red plaques (10[4])with (10[1])silvery scale. (10[1])■END■ (10[1])

ANSWER: psoriasis (“so-RYE-uh-siss”) [or psoriasis vulgaris; accept specific types of psoriasis, such as plaque psoriasis or pustular psoriasis or guttate psoriasis; accept psoriatic arthritis; prompt on arthritis until read; reject “rheumatoid arthritis” or “osteoarthritis” or “RA”]
