Abstract

The article is devoted to the difficulties of diagnosing psoriatic arthritis, which can occur in the outpatient practice of a rheumatologist. In the clinical example, the case of the error diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis in a young female patient with damage of small joints of the hands is described. The inattention of a rheumatologist to such features of the course of the disease as the presence of psoriasis in a patient, psoriasis and arthritis in a family history, the damage of distal interphalangeal joints, and the persistent absence of rheumatoid factor in serum has led to the an incorrect diagnosis.
