“…Our patients in the Ps group were carefully selected with no history or signs of arthritis and carefully matched with the patients of the PA group. The latter criterion of selection is important as pathological accumulations appear in joints presenting no or minimal symptoms [3,4], findings confirmed in the present study. Blind interpretation of bone scintig raphy results is equally important, as the scintigraphic method is usually not quanti tative and relies on the visual evaluation of the examiner.…”

“…Furthermore, one can assume blood monocytes to have an altered function as well in this group of psoriatics. In general, the sessile macrophage popu lations in liver and spleen reveal nearly the same functional abnormalities indicating ac tivation phenomena in the mononuclear phagocyte system in psoriatics as could be found in other cell systems, e.g., in epidermis and bone [9][10][11]. Finally, it is worthwhile that the extent of skin involvement does not correlate well with the increased activity of tissue-fixed macrophages.…”
