OK #hospmed19, I had told myself I wasn't going to make another #tweetorial until next week to give myself a break, but I can't help but be motivated by all the amazing #tweeps at this meeting. Long story short, here's a #medthread on #PSORIASIS!

More and more, we are recognizing psoriasis to be a systemic disease. Aside from the psoriatic #arthritis we all know and love, there is more convincing evidence that psoriasis is linked with #cardiovascular disease and risk. As such, #multidisciplinary care is important!

There are many different variants of psoriasis. The most classic is plaque psoriasis, described commonly as "salmon colored plaques with micaceous scale."
Q: Ever notice how psoriasis doesn't really get impetiginized/superinfected but eczema does? Why do you think that is?

What is RMS? It's a hypersensitivity reaction, most commonly reported to vancomycin. However, it's been reported with other anti-infectives too (including cipro, rifampin, amphotericin, etc). What is the usual distribution seen clinically with RMS?

RMS usually occurs around the head and neck and upper torso. That's why it's other name is "Red Neck Syndrome." The clinical exam is described as flushing & erythema. Patients complain of pruritus, & can also get pain, spasms, and even hypotension!

Case 1:
A 60-year-old man with hypertension and hyperlipidemia presents with substernal chest pressure. After initial evaluation in the emergency department, including a normal ECG and one negative troponin, he is admitted to medicine for “ROMI”.
