Abstract (1914 Views)
Aims: Psoriasis is a common immune-related skin disorder that affects 2-3% of worldwide people. This study aimed to determine the disease characteristics of psoriasis patients.
Materials & Methods: In this descriptive cross-sectional study, using the convenience sampling method, 164 psoriatic patients who were referred to a dermatology clinic in Yasuj from 2013 to 2014 participated. Demographic information and medical parameters were collected by a dermatologist through observation and using a researcher-made checklist. SPSS software version 19 was used for the statistical analysis of data.
Findings: Participants were consisting of 106 males and 58 females. The mean age of females was 28.72±15.89, and for males was 29.83±23.19. Most of them had the mild disease (48.3%), and common plaque-type psoriasis (87.7%). Sites of skin involvement were 80.4% on extremities. Nail involvement was 31.7% and arthritis was detected in 3% of cases. There was a history of pruritus or burning sensation in 41.5% of cases. There was only a 17.1% positive family history.
Conclusion: According to the results of this study, the ratio of men with psoriasis to women was higher. Most of the skin lesions caused by this disease were observed in the extremities, head, face and trunk, respectively, and in this respect both gender were similar and few participants reported a positive family history in this regard.
