Objective:
The aim: The objective of our work was to improve the diagnostics of common chronic dermatoses (acne, psoriasis, АР) taking into account some indicators of the immune system and features of the disease course to specify their role in pathogenesis of these disease.
Patients And Methods:
Materials and methods: A total of 114 patients with acne and 128 patients with psoriasis were observed.
Results:
Results: Regardless of the disease duration period, we have detected in blood serum of psoriasis рatients probable changes in concentrations of stress-response mediators (decreased parameters of cellular immunity (CD3+, CD3+CD4+, CD3+CD8+ of T-lymphocytes, CD22+ fraction of B-lymphocytes and compensatory increased CD16+ of T-cells, cytokines - IL-1β, IL-8, IL- 17, IL-22, immunoglobulins IgM, IgG, and CIC), which indicate tension of their stress-induced mechanisms even despite occasional clinical stabilization of skin and articular process. Consequently, most of the patients with acne had varying degrees of changes in rates of systemic immunity. The most significant changes in rates of systemic immunity with the depletion of T-cell immunity were found in patients with papular-pustular and pustular acne, and still more significant - in patients with acne conglobate.
Conclusion:
Conclusions: In patients with acne and psoriasis, changes in systemic immunity indexes that indicate the formation of secondary immunodeficiency state T-cell link, amid an adequate humoral immunity have been found. Relationship between the causes of changes of systemic immunity has been established.

Asthma: Pathogenesis and Management
Asthma is classified as allergic and non-allergic. Allergens such as dust mites, pollen, and pet dander trigger allergic asthma, while factors like cold air, intense emotions, or exercise can induce non-allergic asthma.
