Abstract

Background: PSORIASIS is a chronic and common papulosquamous disease characterized by proliferation of keratinocytes and infiltration of inflammatory cells in epidermis and dermis. Its prevalence is 1-3 percent of the general population, with a male to female ratio of 1:1. This study was performed in order to determine the DEMOGRAPHY, different clinical aspects, age, sex, sites at the onset of disease, family history, involvement of scalp and hair loss in psoriatic patients admitted to Faghihi Hospital, between 1990 and 2000. Materials and Methods: Data were collected from the medical files of 191 patients with PSORIASIS (123 men and 68 women). The information was recorded in appropriate questionnaires and the data were then analyzed. Results: The age at the onset of disease was from birth to 85 years of age, with two peaks at 21-30 and 51-60 years. The mean age of the onset for men and women was 30.68 years (SD= 18.8) and 31.95 years (SD=21), respectively. One hundered and forty-four cases (75.39%) had scalp involvementwith a male to female ratio of two to one. Nine out of 191 cases (4.71%) had hair loss, which was greater in men. The commonest form of PSORIASIS was vulgaris (59.68%). More than one half of the patients were from Fars province, the majority from the city of SHIRAZ, followed by Bushehr province. Conclusion: The prevalence of PSORIASIS was greater in men than women (M/F ratio=1.8). Seventy-five percent of the patients had scalp involvement and male to female ratio was two to one. The commonest form of scalp involvement was the generalized type followed by the occipital type.
