Textbook of Psoriasis, 2/E for Dermatology Postgraduates and Practicing Dermatologists | Clinical, Immunopathological and Therapeutic Reference with a New Chapter on Biologics: 1

Textbook of Psoriasis, 2nd Edition , edited by Jayakar Thomas and Soundarya S, is a comprehensive, clinically integrated reference on psoriasis for dermatology practice. Structured across 13 chapters, it moves from epidemiology and etiopathogenesis through clinical presentation to investigations, treatment, and follow-up, addressing psoriasis as a multisystem disease rather than a skin-limited condition. This edition adds a new chapter on biologics, alongside an updated review of the evolving treatment landscape, including immunomodulators, targeted therapies, and newly introduced pharmacological options. The text pairs immunopathological and therapeutic concepts with representative clinical photographs, illustrations, and patient-care algorithms and tables, offering concise, evidence-based guidance for everyday clinical decision-making. Who This Book Is For: Dermatology Postgraduates (MD/DNB): a structured reference for residents building a working command of psoriasis pathogenesis, clinical variants, and treatment protocols during training. Practicing Dermatologists: a concise, evidence-based resource for managing psoriasis across its clinical spectrum, from topical therapy through biologics and special populations. Why This Book Helps: Structures treatment decision-making: organizes topical, phototherapy, systemic, and biologic options by disease type and site, from plaque and guttate to pustular, erythrodermic, and nail psoriasis. Clarifies the newer drug landscape: reviews IL-17 and IL-23 inhibitors, JAK inhibitors, and apremilast alongside their dosing, efficacy, and adverse-effect profiles. Addresses psoriatic arthritis systematically: presents a holistic treatment approach spanning NSAIDs, DMARDs, and biologics by joint and disease pattern. Covers special populations: dedicates attention to childhood, pregnancy-associated, and comorbidity-complicated psoriasis, including hepatitis, HIV, tuberculosis, and malignancy. Supports emergency recognition: details bedside assessment and stepwise management of erythrodermic and generalized pustular psoriasis as dermatological emergencies. Key Features: 13 chapters spanning epidemiology, etiopathogenesis, clinical aspects, pediatric and pregnancy-associated psoriasis, systemic disease, investigations, treatment, and biologics. A new chapter dedicated to biologics in psoriasis, covering immunomodulators and targeted therapies. Comparative tables and treatment algorithms for psoriatic arthritis, drug dosing, and adverse-effect monitoring. Clinical photographs and illustrations depicting disease presentation and treatment response. Dedicated guidance for special populations, including children, pregnant patients, and those with hepatitis, HIV, tuberculosis, or malignancy.
