Background: Recent studies have revealed the pivotal role of Th17 cells and interleukin-17 (IL-17) in plaque psoriasis development and treatment outcome. The IL-17 family consists of 6 structurally related cytokines (IL-17A, IL-17B, IL-17C, IL-17D, IL-17E, IL-17F), of which IL-17A and IL-17F mediate similar biological effects.
Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate an association between the IL17A (-197G>A; rs2275913) and IL17F (rs763780: T>C; rs11465553: G>A; rs2397084: T>C) polymorphisms with psoriasis susceptibility as well as response to topical and combined topical with narrow-band ultraviolet B (NB-UVB) therapy in a Polish population.
Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is implicated in the pathogenesis of psoriasis as well as in its treatment efficacy. The aim of this study of 406 patients with psoriasis and 203 healthy controls was to evaluate the association between the IL6 -174G>C (rs1800795) polymorphism and psoriasis susceptibility, as well as treatment efficacy. The frequency of genotype GG (33.

The aim of the study was to evaluate the incidence frequency of cutaneous adverse drug reactions, to define the drugs inducing such reactions and to define the type of the most frequently found lesions in patients admitted to Department of Dermatology and Venereology of Pomeranian Medical University in Szczecin (PAM) in 1996-2006.
Material And Methods: A retrospective analysis of medical files of the patients, who were hospitalized in the Department of Dermatology and Venereology of PAM in Szczecin in 1996-2006, was carried out.
