Clinical study: Is seborrheic dermatitis associated with systemic inflammation?

Commentary on: Investigation of the relationship between inflammatory blood parameters and seborrheic dermatitis

“…2 In the past year, Metin and colleagues conducted a similar study involving 47 patients with seborrheic dermatitis and the study evaluated the correlation between inflammatory markers and seborrheic dermatitis and preliminarily revealed the correlation between markers in the blood showing systemic inflammation and seborrheic dermatitis through the study of 47 small samples of participants, and the results suggested NMR is thought to be related to the presentation of the disease, LYM, and LMR to the severity of the disease. 3 However, the actual significance and direct evidence of these inflammatory markers involved in seborrheic dermatitis are not fully sufficient, which is still a mystery. Many potential factors need to be considered, the screening criteria included in the study should point out in detail that it is well known that many seborrheic dermatitis is prone to present in HIV positive patients and Alzheimer's patients, and others, the impact of primary disease on inflammatory markers should be one of the limitations of the study.…”
