Abstract

Psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune inflammatory disease involving predominantly skin, nails and joints.
Two hundred cases of psoriasis were investigated and treated in a hospital of North India and a very high
incidence of parasitic infestations was noted among these patients. Deworming therapy along with standard
treatment resulted in excellent relief and prolonged remissions in these cases. A new hypothesis is proposed
regarding how the deworming therapy helps in improving the results in Psoriasis.

Keywords: Psoriasis, Parasites, Deworming, Inflammation, Chronic skin disease.
