S Ganor

    The British Journal of Dermatology
    |June 1, 1975
    PubMed
    Summary

    Psoriasis was found in 38% of women with chronic paronychia, a nail condition. This suggests a potential link between psoriasis and chronic paronychia in adult women.

    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Nail Diseases
    • Autoimmune Disorders

    Background:

    • Chronic paronychia is an inflammatory condition affecting the nail folds.
    • Psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune disease with various clinical presentations.
    • The association between chronic paronychia and psoriasis requires further investigation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the prevalence of psoriasis in adult female patients diagnosed with chronic paronychia.
    • To compare the prevalence of psoriasis in chronic paronychia patients with a control dermatological group.

    Main Methods:

    • A case-control study design was employed.
    • Fifty adult female patients with chronic paronychia were recruited.
    • Fifty adult female patients from a general dermatology clinic served as controls.

    Main Results:

    • Psoriasis was diagnosed in 19 out of 50 (38%) patients with chronic paronychia.
    • Psoriasis was diagnosed in 5 out of 50 (10%) control patients.
    • A higher prevalence of psoriasis was observed in the chronic paronychia group.

    Conclusions:

    • The findings suggest a potential association between chronic paronychia and psoriasis in adult women.
    • Further research is warranted to elucidate the underlying mechanisms linking these conditions.
    • Dermatologists should consider screening for psoriasis in patients presenting with chronic paronychia.
