Abstract
- Atopic dermatitis and psoriasis are common, chronic inflammatory skin diseases. They are mediated by different subsets of Th cells (Th1 vs. Th2), so they are believed to be mutually exclusive. However, they have many similar features. Both show epidermal hyperplasia, aberrant immunity, and skin barrier anomalies. We describe the case of an 11-year-old girl with concomitant psoriasis and atopic eczema. She had atopic dermatitis since infancy and had developed psoriatic plaques a few years later. She was diagnosed with atopic dermatitis and psoriasis, and was treated with cyclosporine. Here, we present this case, with a literature review.
