An Association of Pediatric Psoriasis with Metabolic Syndrome in Thai Children: 20 Years Retrospective Study.

The present study revealed that there was 15% increased MetS in the pediatric psoriasis patients over the age of 12 years old as compared to the patients of prepubertal age (≤12 years old). Increased attention to the early detection of MetS in pediatric psoriasis is recommended. Biologic therapy would be an alternative option in severe recalcitrant pediatric psoriasis cases in the future.
