This apparently specific dermatosis is due to human cowpox infection. Future investigations will be needed to better define this important zoonosis frequently passed by cats to humans and carried by rodents.

Replicating the association of single-nucleotide polymorphisms in the TNFAIP3, IL12B and IL23R genes with psoriasis vulgaris, in subjects from different ethnic backgrounds, underlines their importance in the pathogenesis of the disease. In contrast, the lack of any association between rs20541 (IL13) and psoriasis in our Egyptian cohort suggests the existence of important inter-ethnic genetic differences in psoriasis susceptibility.
