I just found a bizarre collection of Environmental Risk Factors for the onset of Inflammatory Arthritis, in this case Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) in Psoriasis patients:
1) Rubella vaccination
2) Injury sufficient to require a medical consultation
3) Recurrent oral ulcers
4) Moving house
5) Fractured bone requiring hospital admission :wheelchair:

and another paper that mentions a likely role for....viral infections as a trigger for PsA:
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2688229/?tool=pmcentrez
also explains why Rituximab is probably not suitable for Psoriasis patients...
