AB  - Psoriasis is a chronic skin disease, that often develops below the age of 18. In 
      an integrated approach to childhood psoriasis, the impact of psoriasis on family 
      members merits consideration. In this study, the impact of childhood psoriasis on 
      caregivers (61 mothers and 4 fathers) of 65 children (age range 5-17.5 years) was 
      measured using Family Dermatology Life Quality Index (FDLQI). Childhood psoriasis 
      exerted a substantial impact on the QoL of caregivers (mean FDLQI 13.62+/-6.15 
      points). Caregivers rated routine household expenditure, time spent caring for 
      the skin of the child, and emotional distress as the areas most impacted by 
      psoriasis. The areas least affected were parent-child relationships, and 
      caregivers' social lives. The impact of other people's reactions to the child's 
      disease was rated as more severe by caregivers of girls compared with those of 
      boys (p=0.004).
