Comorbidities in Psoriasis
- In:
Clinical Practice
- Seven to twenty percent of patients with psoriasis will develop uveitis with anterior uveitis being the most common.
- Chronic vulvovaginal candidiasis is uncommon in prepubescent females; it is important to consider intertriginous psoriasis in this patient population.
- Increased levels of inflammation can disrupt the blood-brain barrier which is one reason why patients with psoriasis have higher levels of depression compared to the general population.
