Abstract

Background: Plaque psoriasis has been associated with anxiety, depression, suicidal ideation and various personality traits. However, studies on hypochondriasis, i.e. the belief of serious illness despite having no or only mild symptoms, are currently scarce. Objective: The aim of this study was to assess hypochondriasis and personality traits in psoriasis patients using the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2 (MMPI-2). Methods: We conducted an observational study on patients with plaque psoriasis who underwent MMPI-2 testing. Demographic and clinical data, including comorbidities, alcohol consumption, and smoking, were collected. Results: A total of 136 consecutive psoriatic patients were included. The mean age (±SD) was 53.7 (±13.5), mean PASI (Psoriasis Area Severity Index) was 12.4 (±9.9), and mean disease duration was 23.3 (±15.7) years. Pathologically elevated scores in the Hypochondriasis scale were observed in 27.9% of patients. Furthermore, in a few other MMPI-2 scales (Anxiety, Fears and Negative Treatment Indicators) ≥25% of patients obtained pathologically elevated scores. Conversely, the scales that had the highest proportion of low scorers were Ego Strength and Dominance. At regression analysis, higher psoriasis severity and female gender were associated with higher scores in the Hypochondriasis scale (p = 0.03 and 0.001). Finally, 72.8% reported any alcohol consumption and 8.1% heavy alcohol consumption. Conclusion: About one third of patients with psoriasis have high scores in the MMPI-2 hypochondriasis evaluation scale. Poor individual coping resources also appeared to be distinctive psychological features in a significant proportion of psoriatic patients.

Abstract

Annually recurring erythema annulare centrifugum (AR-EAC) is a rare variant, characterized by typical annular plaques recurring in the same period of the year. We describe 5 new cases and present a review of the literature. Patients were 3 females and 2 males with an age range of 25–55 years. Multiple annular plaques were located at the thighs in 4 patients and the neck in one patient. In 1 patient, a single lesion was present. Plaques were recurring in summer in 3 cases; in 1 case, in spring; and another patient, in winter since 3–4 years. Lesions were self-healing in few days or weeks. Histologically, the epidermis presented mild acanthosis with patchy spongiosis, slight parakeratosis, and mild exocytosis. There was a perivascular lympho-histiocytic infiltrate of variable intensity in the superficial dermis, with occasional eosinophils. In 1 case, the inflammatory infiltrate reached the deep dermis. Mucin deposition was absent. Phenotyping studies in 1 case revealed a predominance of T cells, with a small B-cell component. Moreover, a moderate number of CD123+ plasmacytoid dendritic cells and CD1a+ dendritic cells were noted. Fourteen cases of AR-EAC have been published previously. Collectively, patients’ age ranged from 16 to 83 years, with a mean age of 47 years and a disease duration of 1–30 years. Lesions affected more frequently extremities and recurred most commonly in summer. Patients were all in good general health. Topical corticosteroids were the mainstay of treatment. AR-EAC is a benign disorder, the nature of which remains enigmatic.

Abstract

Background: An effective patient-physician relationship is important in the management of psoriatic patients. Objective: Our purpose was to investigate the efficacy of an educational intervention for patients with psoriasis in improving disease knowledge and attitude towards physicians and systemic treatments. Methods: The intervention consisted of a single, 2-hour educational programme conducted either by a dermatologist or by a dermatologist and a psychologist. Information on psoriasis and its treatment was given. A questionnaire concerning knowledge about psoriasis was administered before and after the programme, and after 6 months. Results: 123 patients were enrolled. They reported a high degree of satisfaction with the intervention, improvement in knowledge about the disease and a better attitude towards therapy. After 6 months a better knowledge about the disease and a higher attitude to treatment were retained. Conclusions: A single educational intervention may be helpful in improving psoriasis knowledge and give psychological relief to patients.

Abstract

Background: Patients with moderate to severe chronic plaque psoriasis have a higher prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors and atherosclerosis. Arterial stiffness is a measure of endothelial dysfunction and an independent predictor of cardiovascular events. Objectives: To investigate whether chronic plaque psoriasis is associated with an increased arterial stiffness. Methods: A cross-sectional study on 39 adult patients with moderate to severe chronic plaque psoriasis and 38 control patients with skin diseases other than psoriasis was conducted. Arterial stiffness was assessed by carotid-femoral and carotid-radial pulse wave velocity (PWVcf, PWVcr). Results: PWVcf was significantly higher in patients with psoriasis than in controls (means ± SD; 8.88 ± 1.96 vs. 7.57 ± 1.34 m/s; p = 0.001). Difference was still significant after adjustment for age, gender, smoking status, hypertension and body mass index (8.78 ± 1.98 vs. 7.78 ± 2.0 m/s; p = 0.03). There was a positive correlation between PWVcf and years of psoriasis duration (r = 0.58; p = 0.0001), but not with disease severity. Conclusion: Moderate to severe chronic plaque psoriasis may be independently associated with increased arterial stiffness. Psoriasis duration could be a risk factor for arterial stiffness and atherosclerosis.
