Evidence of "Silent" Hepatitis B Virus Infection in Psoriasis, Vitiligo, and Cases: A Pilot Study.

Indian J Dermatol

From the Division of Biological Sciences, Academy of Scientific and Innovative Research (AcSIR), Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh, India.

Background: Psoriasis (PS), vitiligo (VT), and (PR) are chronic skin diseases often occurring as a consequence of exaggerated immune responses. These skin manifestations can be triggered as a result of the molecular mimicry between viral protein (s) and host protein (s), which could generate auto-antibodies. In addition, it can be hypothesised that skin diseases are manifestations of the reduced immunity that is observed in chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV)-infected individuals.

Article Synopsis
  • Pityriasis rosea (PR) is a skin condition that usually gets better on its own, often linked to reactivated human herpesviruses, causing mild rashes and itchiness.
  • Traditional treatment focuses on reassuring patients to rest, but severe cases may require medication, prompting a study comparing various treatments.
  • The analysis found that oral steroids and a combo with antihistamines were effective for itch relief, while acyclovir was the most effective for improving rash symptoms, making it the best option for more serious PR cases.
