Pulmonary capillary leak syndrome complicating generalized pustular psoriasis: possible role of cytokines

Br J Dermatol. 1991 Nov;125(5):472-4. doi: 10.1111/j.1365-2133.1991.tb14777.x.

Abstract

Two cases are reported of generalized pustular psoriasis complicated by profound alterations in pulmonary capillary permeability. Several features suggest the involvement of cytokines in the pathogenesis of this condition.
