An acute, usually widespread eruption of small (<1cm) papules of psoriasis associated in a majority of cases with preceding streptococcal infection, particularly tonsillitis and streptococcal sore throat. This form of psoriasis is seen typically in children and young adults. If untreated it tends to resolve over a period of four to six months.
