COMMON PHYSIOPATHOLOGICAL PATTERNS BETWEEN PSORIASIS AND VITILIGO

Summary

Psoriasis and vitiligo are two autoimmune, multifactorial, chronic diseases with an increased prevalence worldwide. Although the clinical characteristics are different, multiple associations are observed between the two conditions. The literature describes numerous directions regarding management focused on either psoriasis or vitiligo, seen as two separate entities. For this reason, current studies related to this association are converging towards new horizons that allow the use of a single therapy, personalized and equally focused on both conditions.

The aim of this paper is to formulate an overview of the current knowledge regarding psoriasis and vitiligo and to determine a possible relation between them.
