One hundred and seven psoriatics with palmoplantar involvement were clinically examined. They were selected from 921 patients filed in 1976 with the diagnosis psoriasis. Fifty per cent of the patients with palmoplantar psoriasis had flexural changes. The frequency of palmar involvement in patients with inverse psoriasis compared to patients with psoriasis vulgaris was increased 5.3 times. Pustulosis palmoplantaris (PPP) in addition to psoriasis was diagnosed in 18 patients (17%). A dermatophyte infection was observed in 1 of 48 patients examined for tinea infection. Positive patch tests were obtained in 8 of 47 patients, 7 of whom had more than one test reaction. The result gives no evidence of tinea infection and contact allergy as important factors in maintaining palmoplantar psoriasis.Downloads
