Abstract: (1312 Views)
Introduction: Some articles have suggested an increase in the prevalence of oral candidiasis in patients with psoriasis, as well as the potential for exacerbation or chronicity of psoriasis. Therefore, the prevalence of oral candidiasis in patients with psoriasis and its comparison with healthy individuals has been considered.
method: In this cross-sectional study, 43 people with psoriasis and 43 seemingly healthy individuals referred to dermatology clinics affiliated with Isfahan University of Medical Sciences were randomly selected and examined for the presence or absence of Candida albicans in the oral mucosa by direct lam and culture. Were placed.
Results: According to the results of this analytical study, 44.2% of patients with psoriasis with Candida albicans were infected with oral cavity, which was 25.6% for healthy individuals, and this difference was significant (p=0.05). There was also a significant relationship between the severity of psoriasis and the prevalence of oral Candida albicans (p=0.05).
Conclusion: The study found that candida yeast was more common in patients with psoriasis than in healthy people. According to the results of this study, it is recommended that all patients with psoriasis be examined for the presence of Candida albicans in the mouth and, if the test is positive, be treated with antifungal drugs.
