AB  - BACKGROUND/AIM: Although the etiopathogeneses of psoriasis and atopy appear to be 
      different, psoriasis has been found to be associated with atopy and atopic 
      dermatitis. In this study, we aimed to determine the role of atopy by examining 
      the medical history and clinical and laboratory findings of patients with 
      psoriasis. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Patients with psoriasis, asthma patients, and 
      healthy volunteers were included in the study. Serum total immunoglobulin E (IgE) 
      levels were obtained, and prick tests were administered to all groups. RESULTS: 
      Psoriatic patients demonstrated percentages of atopy history (21.3%) that were 
      higher than those of the healthy subjects (15.7%). The median total IgE level in 
      psoriatic patients was found to be statistically higher than that in the healthy 
      control group (P > 0.05). With respect to mite positivity, there were 
      statistically significant differences in the psoriatic (P < 0.05) and asthmatic 
      groups (P < 0.001) when compared to the healthy control group. CONCLUSION: Our 
      study is the first to use skin prick tests with psoriatic patients. Skin prick 
      test sensitivity to mites increased in psoriatic patients, and we believe that 
      this finding may be useful in protecting psoriatic patients from activation of 
      psoriasis and in determining the appropriate treatment approach.
