Abstract

Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin disease that occurs in an estimated 2% of individuals worldwide. Among the subtypes of the disease, plaque psoriasis is the most common, accounting for 90% of cases. The disease is associated with numerous comorbidities and is now widely recognized as an immune-mediated inflammatory disorder. AIDS
