title: Guttate and plaque psoriasis.
abstract: Guttate and plaque psoriasis are regarded as variants of one disease but present with distinct clinical and histologic appearances. This article focuses special attention on different pathways in the development and clinical course of each, with emphasis on immunologic correlations regarding HLA system linkage and therefore genotypical expression. The differences in the variants are also important in treatment regimens.
