Overview
We present a 72-year-old female patient with an established diagnosis of psoriatic arthritis (PsA), with skin manifestations since the age of 10 and joint involvement since the age of 18. The patient was diagnosed with PsA (a polyarticular form with left-sided sacroiliitis, HLA-B27 positive) only at the age of 43. At the beginning of the disease, the patient was treated with conventional synthetic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (cDMARDs), for clinical and laboratory activity, the patient was later transferred to biological treatment (bDMARDs) with good effect. During the disease and as a result of the therapy, the patient developed several complications and comorbidities, including infectious, cardiovascular, metabolic, and osteoporotic with a significant psychosocial impact
