Summary

This study will review medical records of 300 children under 18 with psoriasis in Costa Rica. Researchers want to learn about the children's symptoms, how severe the disease is, what other health problems they have, and what treatments they receive. No new treatments or tests are given—this is purely to gather information from routine care.
