Abstract :
[en] The recognition of a complex disorder associating
skin psoriasis and its comorbidities has considerably progressed
over recent years. Beyond the skin lesions, psoriatic
arthritis, the metabolic syndrome, type II diabetes, cardiovascular
disease, inflammatory bowel diseases, and some cancers
represent a group of chronic systemic disorders. The process
is initiated and sustained by an immunological pathway involving
Th1, Th17 and Th22 lymphocytes. The recognition of this
complex disorder indicates that the clinical impact of psoriasis
is not exclusively limited to the skin only.
