What are some lesser-known risk factors of GPP?

Generalized Pustular Psoriasis (GPP)

You stress, anxiety, and of course, in the setting of pregnancy, we now know that there's a form of generalized posture psoriasis that is also known as impetigo herpetiformis. Really, those are the particular circumstances where we see initiating factors and risk, if you will, of developing postular psoriasis. And I would kind of end that, just kind of piggybacking off of what I said before. Sometimes infectious processes, patients with pneumonia, viral infections, retroviral infections, have developed GPP. Also, patients who have received certain vaccines, such as even the Covid-19 vaccine, have been known to develop generalized pustular psoriasis. And just in general, those individuals with genetic mutations, as I mentioned before, the il 36 receptor antagonists. But those with card 14 or ap 153 deficiencies or genetic mutations more than likely have great risk of developing a generalized postular psoriasis.
