ABSTRACT
Psoriasis is a T cell-mediated chronic inflammatory disease of the skin. It affects
genetically predisposed individuals and presents several subtypes. It is
characterized by the presence of well-defined erythematous, scaly, irregular border
plaque or lesions, affecting mainly the elbows, knees, scalp, and trunk. The HLACw6
allele of major histocompatibility system is related to the presence and
severity of this disease. From the physiopathogenic viewpoint, psoriasis is a Th1-
type immune disease in which the axle IL-23/Th17 is fundamental. Th17 cells
produce proinflammatory cytokines (IL-17A, IL-17F, IL-22 and IL-26) which
activate keratinocytes and cause hyperproliferation and increased production of
proinflammatory cytokines and antimicrobial peptides. The latter, in turn, recruit
and activate other immune cells of swollen skin. There is thus an amplification of
the inflammatory response that leads to clinical manifestations of this disease. The
treatment of psoriasis includes topical antiinflammatory agents, phototherapy and
systemic immunosuppressive biological agents, including those which are fusion
proteins, inhibitors of alpha tumor factor necrosis, and interleukin inhibitors 12 and 23.
