Mycoses in patients with psoriasis or atopic dermatitis

Mycoses
T Henseler, I Tausch

Abstract

Both, psoriasis and atopic dermatitis are multifactorial diseases with an unknown pathogenesis. To elucidate the influence of fungal infections in the onset or recurrence of those inflammatory skin disease we determined the frequencies of Candida and dermatophyte infections of the skin and orointestinal tract concomitantly seen in patients with psoriasis or atopic dermatitis. We analyzed the files of more than 40,000 in-patients of the Department of Dermatology, Kiel. Sex- and age-adjusted relative risk were calculated. The results demonstrate that patients with psoriasis (N = 3006) presented with a decreased rate of tinea. This was significant for tinea corporis (RR = 0.13, p < 0.01). Candida infections of the skin were seen more often in psoriasis patients compared to controls. Differentiating between Type I (early onset) and Type II (late onset) psoriasis only Type I psoriasis patients presented with decreased dermatophyte infections and increased Candida colonization of the intestinum. However, patients with Type II psoriasis demonstrated an increased rate of candidosis cutis and candidosis oris as compared to controls. Patients with atopic dermatitis (N = 1808) displayed a decreased overall incidence of tinea and Candida i...Continue Reading

Candidiasis is a common fungal infection caused by Candida and it can affect many parts for the body including mucosal membranes as well as the gastrointestinal, urinary, and respiratory tracts. Here is the latest research.

Atopic Dermatitis

Atopic dermatitis is a chronic inflammatory genetically determined disease of the skin marked by increased ability to form reagin (IgE), with increased susceptibility to allergic rhinitis and asthma, and hereditary disposition to a lowered threshold for pruritus.
