Abstract
Article Tables References Comments Psoriasis is a systemic autoimmune inflammatory disease that shares some immunological aspects with other inflammatory-based diseases, such as Crohn disease.1 Bacterial DNA (bactDNA) fragments have been shown to induce a systemic immunological response in Crohn disease and other settings.2,3 Although the results of most blood bacterial cultures are negative in patients with psoriasis, we hypothesized that the presence of bactDNA in the blood might act as a molecular trigger in disease outbreaks and induce a systemic inflammatory response in these patients.
