- Abstract
Psoriatics proved to he less frequently sensitized than patients attending a patch test clinic, but not less than those with other dermatological diseases. Previous claims of impairment of immunoreactivity in psoriasis, possibly resulting in a reduced prevalence of diseases with immunological pathogenesis, were not confirmed. The contrast may be explained by the clinical heterogeneity of psoriasis. Current classifications do not include in a separate set, lesions which, by clinical features and symptoms, would be diagnosed as allergic contact dermatitis if the patient did not, in fact, already have psoriasis.
