Increased expression of interleukin‐17 pathway genes in nonlesional skin of moderate‐to‐severe psoriasis vulgaris
20 Jul 2015
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Psoriasis vulgaris is an inflammatory immune-mediated disease, with lesional skin characterized by sharply demarcated, erythematous scaly plaques. Uninvolved psoriatic skin appears clinically similar to normal skin.
