Guest guest Posted July 13, 2000 Report Share Posted July 13, 2000 Diane - I found this on the web in the Merck Manual (the whole Merck Manual is now on the web and is searchable if you have web access) - .. Factors precipitating psoriatic flares include local trauma (in the Koebner's phenomenon, lesions appear at sites of trauma) and, occasionally, irritation (variants of Koebner's phenomenon), severe sunburn, viremia, allergic drug reactions, topical and systemic drugs (eg, chloroquine antimalarial therapy, lithium, -blockers, interferon-), and withdrawal of systemic corticosteroids. Some patients (especially children) may have psoriatic eruptions after an acute group A -hemolytic streptococcal URI. Carol V. >>> " The VanderLaan Family " 07/13/00 06:37AM >>> The patient has a highly acute, extremely pruritic skin eruption. The doc goes on to describe the rash. Then he says, " s/l Keebner's phenomenon is positive " . I cannot find a Keebner's phenomenon in my books, so if anyone knows what this is or SHOULD be, I'd be grateful to know.

Stedman's Concise lists it as: (note the alternative spelling) Köbner's phenomenon an isomorphic reaction seen in response to trauma in previously uninvolved sites of patients with skin diseases including psoriasis and lichen planus, typically with lesions in a linear pattern at sites of scratching or a scar. Syn: isomorphic response.
