Abstract

Psoriasis is one of the most common chronic immune-mediated skin diseases. One of the widely discussed gastroenterological comorbidities of psoriasis is chronic inflammatory diseases of the gastrointestinal tract. The article presents the results of the analysis of the case histories of patients with moderate-to-severe and severe forms of psoriasis and concomitant pathology – inflammatory bowel diseases (Clinical Dermatovenerologic Dispensary, Krasnodar, Russia). The analysis of 16 case histories of patients with moderate-to-severe and severe psoriasis has been carried out, where one can see the clinical and practical significance of the combined pathology – psoriasis and inflammatory bowel diseases. From the analysis, one can conclude that there is a direct relationship between the severity of the course of the skin pathological process and the development of intestinal diseases, as well as the influence of ustekinumab on the course of combined pathology – psoriasis, ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease.
