Abstract: Generalized pustular psoriasis (GPP), psoriasis of von Zumbusch, is infrequent and notoriously intractable skin disease, so as the treatments remain challenging. One of the treatments of choice for GPP is acitretin currently used by most countries. Unfortunately, our national health regulation prohibits acitretin and also other systemic retinoids. Thus, sulfasalazine has been given to our patients due topoor responseof cyclosporine and methotrexate (MTX) in previous treatment. We aimed to evaluate the efficacy of sulfasalazine in GPP. Three patients affected by GPP and unresponsive to previous treatment, received sulfasalazine started at the dosages of 1 gram/day. The dose was increased related to the response. We observed one patient with good result after 4 months administration. The other two stopped the treatment due to lack of response and severe digestive side effect. There were varied results of sulfasalazine therapy in GPP. It is known to acts against molecular mechanism by inducing neutrophil apoptosis which is abundant in GPP pathogenesis. Sulfasalazine has warranty of its availability so far, affordable, and shares efficacy as well. (More)
