“…Streptococcal infections may precipitate psoriasis [5]. Other disease-modifying factors may be trauma, drugs, sunlight and metabolic and psychogenic factors, as well as alcohol and smoking [6,7]. Psoriasis is reported to be associated with cardiovascular disease [8], metabolic syndrome [9], inflammatory bowel diseases, rheumatoid arthritis, sero-negative spondyloarthropathies, malignancy, streptococcal tonsillitis, smoking, alcohol abuse, psychiatric disorders and stress [10][11][12][13].…”

Objective. Destructive periodontitis is one of the most frequent and widespread bacterial infections in humans. Psoriasis is a common condition in the general population. Since both psoriasis and periodontal diseases are characterized by an exaggerated response of the immune system to the epithelial surface microbiota, there may possibly be an association between these two conditions. The aim of the present pilot study was to investigate the prevalence of periodontal disease in psoriasis patients compared to healthy controls. Material and methods. Dental bite-wing X-rays were obtained from 155 psoriasis patients aged 45-60 years, as well as from 155 age-and gender-matched controls. All X-rays were examined by the same investigator for accumulated destructive periodontitis using bone level and loss of teeth as endpoints. Results. A significantly lower radiographic bone level (p < 0.001) and a significantly higher number of missing teeth (p < 0.001) were observed in the psoriasis cases compared to the controls. Conclusion. Our study indicates that psoriasis patients experience more bone loss than age-and gender-matched controls.

“…Lesões hiperceratósicas podem ser observadas e verificam-se na literatura diversas denominações para essas lesões, como elefanthine, rupióide, ostrácea e pseudocórnea. [2][3][4] Observa-se, entretanto, que alguns autores não fazem distinção entre essas variações hipertróficas e usam os termos como sinônimos.…”

A psoríase possui diversas formas de apresentações clínicas. Lesões hiperceratósicas podem ser observadas e verificam-se na literatura diversas denominações para essas lesões, como elefanthine, rupióide, ostrácea e pseudocórnea. É interessante notar que duas dessas denominações se remetem à semelhança com conchas encontradas nos estudos de conquiliologia: rupióide e ostrácea. Os autores comparam os aspectos morfológicos das variantes da psoríase hiperceratósica com as conchas de diversas espécies de moluscos.

“…11 To date, 9 chromosomal susceptibility loci for psoriasis have been identified (but no gene or gene product) with the strongest association with chromosome 6p21, particularly HLA-Cw6; 60 per cent of patients with early onset (≤ 40 years old) psoriasis have this HLA type. 16 The characteristic histology of a plaque of psoriasis includes epidermal keratinocyte hyperproliferation and loss of differentiation, an inflammatory cell infiltrate and angiogenesis. It is increasingly accepted that psoriasis is dependent on contributions from both the innate and acquired (adaptive) immune responses.…”
