Recurrent psoriatic onychoperiostitis induced by hydroxychloroquine.
Synthetic antimalarial agents can cause exacerbation of latent or patent psoriatic skin lesions. A case of psoriatic onychoperiostitis precipitated by hydroxychloroquine therapy is reported. The patient had primary Sjögren's syndrome, raising questions about the incidence and causation of the ungual abnormalities associated with this condition.
