Guttate psoriasis ni aina ya psoriasis inayoonyesha vidonda vidogo (sentimita 0.5‑1.5) juu ya shina la juu na maeneo ya karibu; mara nyingi hupatikana kwa vijana. Neno “guttate” hutumiwa kuelezea muonekano wa vidonda vya ngozi. Guttate psoriasis kimsingi husababishwa na maambukizi ya bakteria, hasa maambukizi ya njia ya upumuaji wa juu.

Idadi ya vidonda inaweza kuanzia 5 hadi zaidi ya 100. Kwa ujumla, sehemu za mwili zilizoathiriwa zaidi huonekana kwenye mikono, miguu, nyuma, na torso.

Matibabu yanayotumika kwa psoriasis yanaweza pia kutumika kwa guttate psoriasis. Mara nyingi hali hiyo hutoweka yenyewe ndani ya wiki hadi miezi, na karibu theluthi moja tu ya wagonjwa watapata psoriasis ya muda mrefu.

  • Vidonda kwenye kifua cha nyuma. Idadi kubwa ya macules ndogo, magamba, au patches hutokea kwenye shina baada ya dalili za baridi ya kawaida. Kwa sababu inaboresha wakati wa jua, hutokea hasa kwenye shina.

    Guttate psoriasis ni aina ya kipekee ya psoriasis ambayo mara nyingi husababishwa na maambukizi ya streptococcal, kama vile maambukizi ya koo au perianal. Ni kawaida zaidi kwa watoto na vijana kuliko kwa watu wazima. Watu wenye hali hii hupata vidonda vingi vidogo, vyenye umbo la matone ya machozi, ambavyo kwa kawaida huboreka kwa kutumia krimu na matibabu mepesi.
    Guttate psoriasis is a distinct variant of psoriasis that is classically triggered by streptococcal infection (pharyngitis or perianal) and is more common in children and adolescents than adults. Patients present with several, small “drop-like” lesions that respond well to topical and phototherapies.

    Guttate psoriasis ni hali ya kawaida inayowathiri 0.5‑2 % ya watoto. Kwa kawaida hujidhihirisha ghafla kwa mabaka mengi madogo, yaliyotawanyika, yenye machozi, yenye magamba, mekundu, na yanayowasha, hasa kwenye shina, miguu, na mikono. Wakati mwingine, inahusishwa na maambukizi ya hivi karibuni ya strep. Ingawa inaweza kutobatika yenyewe ndani ya miezi 3‑4 bila dalili, inaweza pia kurudi na kuwasha, au kuendelea na kugeuka kuwa psoriasis ya plaque sugu katika 40‑50 % ya kesi. Kwa sababu inaweza kutobatika yenyewe, matibabu si lazima kila wakati, isipokuwa pale inapojitokeza au kuwasha.
    Guttate psoriasis is common and affects 0.5–2% of individuals in the paediatric age group. Guttate psoriasis typically presents with an abrupt onset of numerous, small, scattered, tear-drop-shaped, scaly, erythematous, pruritic papules and plaques. Sites of predilection include the trunk and proximal extremities. There may be a history of preceding streptococcal infection. Koebner phenomenon is characteristic. Guttate psoriasis may spontaneously remit within 3–4 months with no residual scarring, may intermittently recur and, in 40–50% of cases, may persist and progress to chronic plaque psoriasis. Given the possibility for spontaneous remission within several months, active treatment may not be necessary except for cosmetic purposes or because of pruritus. On the other hand, given the high rates of persistence of guttate psoriasis and progression to chronic plaque psoriasis, some authors suggest active treatment of this condition.
