TI  - Serum levels of total immunoglobulin E in patients with psoriasis: relationship 
      with clinical type of disease.
PG  - 28-9
AB  - Psoriasis is a common cutaneous disorder characterized by inflammation and 
      abnormal epidermal proliferation. Its severity ranges from a chronic plaque 
      psoriasis (CPP) to generalized psoriatic erythroderma (PE). The cause of 
      psoriasis is unknown although most evidence supports the hypothesis that 
      psoriasis is an immunologically mediated disease. The aim of the study was to 
      compare serum levels of total immunoglobulin E (IgE) between patients with 
      psoriasis and healthy subjects, and to asses the difference between localized 
      form (CPP) and extensive form of disease (PE). Fifty patients with psoriasis and 
      30 healthy subjects were included in this study. Serum levels of IgE were 
      measured using nephelometric method. Serum levels of total IgE were significantly 
      higher in patients than in controls (42% vs 10%; p < 0.05). The exact role of 
      serum IgE in psoriasis should be additionally investigated in future studies.
