- Definition(s)
- Kapljičasta luskavica je oblika luskavice, ki pogosto izbruhne pri otrocih in najstnikih, in sicer po bakterijskem vnetju zgornjih dihal – na primer po streptokokni angini. Značilno za kapljičasto luskavico je, da se predvsem po koži trupa in hrbta, lahko pa tudi drugod po telesu, pojavijo številna kapljičasta žarišča, ki v premer merijo približno centimeter. Simptomi kapljičaste luskavice se običajno poležejo po štirih do šestih mesecih, a pri več kot polovici bolnikov pozneje razvijejo kakšne druge oblike luskavice. vizita.si - by Janja Glavac
- Example sentence(s)
- Občasno so kožne spremembe drobne, koža je videti, kot bi bila posuta z rdečimi kapljicami. Takšno obliko imenujemo kapljičasta (psoriasis guttatae). Razmeroma redko se zgodi, da so poleg psoriatičnih sprememb – najpogosteje po dlaneh – navzoči številni zagnojki; takrat govorimo o pustulozni obliki luskavice (pustula je v latinščini zagnojek). - Rok Lokar, dr. med., Prva zdravstvena as
