Psoriasis is a chronic, inflammatory and proliferative skin disease that has a wide distribution throughout the world. The immune system plays a critical role in developing this disease. In this survey, we have studied 50 patients suffering from Psoriasis and 50 control subjects for various ...

Generally considered a disorder of the immune system, genetics can also play a role in psoriasis (though there may be no family history of the disease). Additionally, some triggers can cause symptoms to flare up or become more severe, including: Stress Illness, specifically throat infections (e...
Psoriasis is an inflammatory immune-mediated disorder which mainly affects the skin but which also has pathogenic effects with systemic impact. It represents a major psychological burden. During the past decade, inflammatory, cardiovascular, metabolic, and neuropsychiatric comorbidities of psoriasis have ...
Psoriasis is an autoimmune disease (a disorder in which the immune system becomes overactive and attacks the body’s own cells and tissues). It causes thick patches of inflamed skin which are covered in silvery scales. The overactive immune system leads to the rapid growth of new skin cells...
Psoriasis is caused by an immune-system disorder involving a type of white blood cell called a “T lymphocyte” (T cell). Although T cells usually travel through the body to fight off viruses and other foreign substances, in patients with psoriasis, they attack healthy skin cells. This causes...
Background: Psoriasis is an immune-mediated disorder and HIV is progressive failure of the immune system associated with perturbations of cytokine expression and redistribution of lymphocyte subpopulations. We present a case of a patient with HIV/AIDS and psoriasis. Case report: A 48-year-old woman...
Psoriasis, a chronic, recurrent inflammatory skin disorder. Psoriasis occurs when immune cells known as T cells attack healthy skin cells in the nonvascular and vascular skin layers. There are several types of psoriasis, the most common of which is plaqu
Psoriasis is a chronic, immune-mediated disorder with cutaneous and systemic manifestations and substantial negative effects on patient quality of life. Psoriasis has a strong, albeit polygenic, genetic basis. Whereas approximately half of the accountable genetic effect of psoriasis maps to the major hi...
PsoriaPsoriasis and Your Immune System One of the most important discoveries about psoriasis is that it's more than just a skin disease; it's a chronic inflammatory disorder of the immune system, known as autoimmune condition. This system includes a type of white blood cell, called a T ce...
