what is palmoplantar pustulosis
Palmoplantar pustulosis (PPP) is a chronic inflammatory condition characterized by crops of sterile pustules on the palms and soles that erupt repeatedly over time (picture 1A-F). Yellow-brown macules (remnants of resolving pustules), erythema, scale, and fissures are additional frequent findings.
Granulomatosis with polyangiitis (Wegener granulomatosis), MPA, and Churg-Strauss syndrome comprise a category of small vessel vasculitis related to antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCAs) and are characterized by a paucity of immune deposits.ong-term damage in a study of 296 patients with microscopic polyangiitis or granulomatosis with polyangiitis, as measured with the Vasculitis Damage Index (VDI), was associated with the severity of initial disease, older age, the number of relapses, and duration of glucocorticoid treatment.
