“… 1 On the other hand, a review of reports on vitiligo and psoriasis from 1968 to 2010 revealed a relatively similar rate of psoriasis in vitiligo patients compared to the rate of psoriasis in general population, suggesting that coexistence of psoriasis and vitiligo is probably due to coincidence. 20 Yet, while the crude prevalence of psoriasis in general population of Korea in our data was 0.3% (data not shown), which is a rate close to the expected prevalence of psoriasis in Korea, 21 the prevalence of psoriasis in vitiligo patients was higher at 1.78% (data not shown).…”

We aimed to determine the prevalence of vitiligo in Korea along with the baseline rate of comorbidities and compared the risks to the general population using hospital visit information of the total population in Korea. Materials and Methods: We assessed demographic characteristics of vitiligo patients in Korean population from 2009 to 2011 in a nationwide data from Health Insurance Review Assessment Service. Patients who had at least one visit to Korea's primary, secondary, or tertiary referral hospitals with International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision, Clinical Modification diagnosis code for vitiligo were identified. As a supplementary study, comorbidities associated with vitiligo were selected for further review to calculate relative risks compared to the general population. Results: The annual prevalence of vitiligo determined by hospital-visiting rate in Korea was 0.12% to 0.13% over a three year period. In sync with other previous epidemiological studies, there was bimodal distribution among the age groups and no difference between genders. Also, vitiligo in Korean population was associated with various autoimmune/non-autoimmune diseases such as thyroiditis, atopic dermatitis, and psoriasis. Conclusion: This study was by far the most comprehensive review on prevalence of vitiligo using a data of total population in Korea. The prevalence is within a range of those reported in previous literatures, and increased risk of comorbidities such as thyroid diseases and psoriasis in vitiligo might aid clinicians in the initial work up of vitiligo patients and concurrent follow ups.

“…Association studies have implicated several genes in susceptibility to both diseases, such as those for the major histocompatibility complex (Mabuchi et al, 2007), TNF-α (Zhuang et al, 2013), protein tyrosine phosphatase non-receptor type 22 (PTPN22) (Song et al, 2013), and cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen-4 (CTLA-4) (Muto et al, 2011;Song et al, 2013), which are thought to play important roles in the development of autoimmunity. These genes may, at the least, represent a common affected event in the pathologic processes of psoriasis and vitiligo, although a recent retrospective study failed to find an increased prevalence of psoriasis in individuals with vitiligo, or vice versa (Sawchuk et al, 2012).…”

“…As far as skin ADs were concerned, an OR of 6.8 was detected in the psoriasis group. Vitiligo was the most prevalent condition in the three groups of patients, although its association with psoriasis is still controversial . Alopecia areata resulted to be the second most prevalent skin AD in our cohort.…”

The new concept of psoriatic disease, focusing on genetic and molecular aspects which are at the basis of the pathogenesis of psoriasis and its related manifestations, extended the traditional idea of a disease confined to skin and joints. In this context, the multidisciplinary assessment of patients in the combined Dermatology/Rheumatology outpatient clinics would allow to identify early clinical and laboratory abnormalities not limited to skin and joint.
