“…This rareness has been reported by Kundakci et al [4] in the Turkish in 2002 with an incidence of 0.07%. Our data is relatively low compared to those raised by Jalal et al [5] in 2005 in Morocco and Lapeyre et al [6] in 2007 in France with, respectively, 13 and 4.5 cases per year. This observation should confirm this disease rareness in blacks and particularly in West Africans [3, 7, 8].…”

Bacground. Psoriasis is an erythematosquamous dermatosis of chronic development. In sub-Saharan Africa, few studies have been focused on complicated forms of psoriasis. Objective. The aim is to describe epidemiological, clinical, and histological features of severe skin forms of psoriasis in Cote d'Ivoire. Material and Methods. The study was both cross-sectional and descriptive, that focused on patient admitted to the dermatology unit for complicated psoriasis, from January 1st, 1986, to December 31th, 2007. Results. Fifty-six patients admitted to hospital for severe skin forms of psoriasis were recorded and included in our study over 7.503 patients hospitalized during the study period. They represented 0.75% of cases. The average age was 39.6 ± 3.3 years. There were 49 male (87.5%) and 7 female patients (12.5%) with a sex ratio of 7. At socioprofessional level, 48 patients (87.5%) were from category 1. Patients' history was dominated by the psoriasis vulgaris. Physical and general signs were dominated by itching (58.9%). The three severe skin forms were observed with predominant erythrodermic psoriasis (60.7%). Fifteen patients (34.9%) were HIV positive. Conclusion. Severe skin forms of psoriasis are rare in our setting. But in the quarter of HIV-positive patients, they are dominated by the erythrodermic psoriasis.

“…Our study has pointed out a clear male predominance with 7 as sex ratio. This male predominance has been reported by many authors [5, 9, 10]. This marked difference observed in our study may be due to the delay in caring for the initially benign skin disorders in male patients for they show little concern for their physical look.…”

“…However, specific data from the Maghreb (Algeria, Morocco and Tunisia) are unavailable. Epidemiological studies conducted so far in the region have mainly been retrospective single-centre hospital studies [9,10,11,12,13]. Psoriasis prevalence has been estimated at 2.3% in Morocco [12] and 3.0% in Tunisia [3], consistent with estimates reported in other countries [14].…”

Background: Psoriasis is a common skin disorder that is characterized by red plaques covered with silvery scales and is associated with considerable psychosocial impact. It has been described in several studies worldwide, but specific data from the Maghreb (Algeria, Morocco and Tunisia) are unavailable. Objectives: To characterize the frequency of new psoriasis cases and to describe the epidemiological and clinical profile of psoriasis in the Maghreb. Methods: A psoriasis working group for the Maghreb initiated the EPIMAG international multicentre cross-sectional observational epidemiological study coupled with a 2-week psoriasis screening study via medical consultation. Data were collected via questionnaires. Results: The total analysis population included 373 pre-existing and 326 new psoriasis cases, described by 261 participating investigators. The frequency of new psoriasis cases was 10.26/1,000 in Algeria, 15.04/1,000 in Morocco and 13.26/1,000 in Tunisia, and thus 12.08/1,000 in the Maghreb. In all 699 psoriasis subjects, the mean age was 46 years, the mean BMI was 26.6, and 55.7% of subjects were men. Two thirds of the subjects had never smoked, and 85.0% had never consumed alcohol. Half had brown skin, and 28.6% had a family history of psoriasis. Three quarters had localized psoriasis, 85.8% had plaque psoriasis, coupled with pruritus in over 70.0% of cases. Flares or outbreaks were most often triggered by stress (79.4%) and change of season (43.1%). The majority of subjects used topical therapy, and the investigators considered overall treatment efficacy to be partial in over half of the cases. Among patients with pre-existing psoriasis, secondary analyses showed that 73.2% had severe psoriasis, and that quality of life was severely affected in 40.1% of cases. The mean number of missing school or work days over 6 months was 3.2 (±12.1) days. Conclusions: Our study provides novel information relative to psoriasis epidemiology and characterization in the Maghreb and highlights the need to improve psoriasis screening and management in the region. The data will help optimize psoriasis management, to ensure appropriate national health care policies.

“…Le psoriasis survenait plus sur les adultes relativement jeunes avec une prédominance masculine. Cette dernière était déjà rapportée par une étude antérieurement faite au Maroc par Jilal et al [5]. Une des raisons qui pourrait expliquer cette faible prévalence chez les femmes dans notre contexte, serait l'utilisation de la corticothérapie locale à visée cosmétique qui par son effet favorable sur le psoriasis peut constituer un biais de sélection [6].…”

“…Les formes graves de psoriasis peuvent engager le pronostic vital comme l'atteste les 6 cas (6%) de décès survenus dans un tableau septicémique notés chez nos malades. Une plus faible proportion de 2,5% était rapportée dans l'étude de Jilal et al [5].…”

Background: Severe forms of psoriasis can be life-threatening for patients. Our objective was to determine the epidemiological, clinical, therapeutic aspects and outcome of severe forms of psoriasis. Methodology: A 18 years retrospective study conducted in the department of Dermatology at Le Dantec hospital listed all the severe forms of psoriasis. Results: We have collected 102 cases of severe forms. The sex ratio was 1.55 and the average age of 47 years.
