Infantile pustular psoriasis – http://id.who.int/icd/entity/827953683

Pustular psoriasis presenting in infants is strongly associated with autosomal recessive inheritance of mutations in the IL-36 receptor antagonist. It may be difficult to control and can be complicated by bacterial superinfection, dehydration, and sepsis. Delay in diagnosis and appropriate treatment increases the risk of such complications.
