Clinical characteristics of Psoriasis in Inflammatory Bowel Diseases patients

Abstract

Crohn's Disease (CD) and Ulcerative Colitis (UC) account for most cases of Inflammatory Bowel Diseases (IBD). These diseases share common genetic abnormalities and pathogenic mechanisms with other immune-mediated diseases including Psoriasis (Pso) [1, 2]. A recent study investigating specifics Pso characteristics in IBD patients (phenotype, severity) revealed that in IBD patients the frequency of plaque-type Pso, nail Pso, Psoriatic Arthritis and severe Pso seems to be lower compared with non-IBD patients [3].
