What to do with biológics psoriasis patient who wants to fall pregnant
And then if they are pregnant
Cimzia - Pegylated TNF alpha - unsure if available
General advise to cease pre conception - conservative advice is 6 month wash out
Biológic data so far reassuring particularly for TNF alphas- baby can’t have live vaccines until 6 months old
Is phototherapy fine in pregnancy?
UVB fine but ensure folic acid supplementation

Hypo or hyperpigmentation PPK Psoriatic Ichthyotic Mucosal Alopecia Nail
Where is angiolupoid sarcoid
Particularly face: marked telangiectatic component
Classic location is near the medial canthus
Most common cutaneous manifestation of sarcoid
Papular
Arises in crops
Face and extensor limbs
Favourable prognosis
Which cutaneous sarcoid represents systemic sarcoid changes

Not itchy
Distribution of subcutaneous sarcoid (Darier Roussy)
Extremities: upper over lower
Systemic involvement usually present
Tender OR painless nodules
Associations of lupus pernio
Respiratory tract sarcoidosis Bone cysts Lacrimal gland involvement Renal sarcoidosis Hyperglobulinaemka Hypercalcaemia
Which sarcoid are chronic - ie worse

Lupus pernio
EN is acute
Heerfordts syndrome
Sarcoidosis: Parotid gland enlargement Uveitis Fever Facial nerve palsy

Schaumann body (basophils)
Crystalline inclusion: colour less oval inclusions ? Precursor of Schaumann bodies
Asteroid bodies: eosinophilix
And then obviously non case aging sarcoidal granuloma
Utility of doing ACE level in sarcoidosis
Elevated in about 75% of untreated sarcoid
Poor sensitivity and specificity
Lots of other conditions cause elevation of
