psoriasis vs AIDS

[Guest guest]

Oh yeah, the other most interesting claim in the paper was that

psoriasis is just as common in context of AIDS, and that AIDS can

worsen it. This is the first time I've heard of any of our diseases of

interest actually worsening with AIDS (so they claim anyway).

This bears on the question of whether psoriasis is T cell dependent, a

question (and controversy) that also exists in RA. In psoriasis the

debate further extends to whether the disease is fundementally a skin

problem or immune problem or both.

And it's in contrast to lupus (I think lupus), sarc, and several

others which have a negative correlation with AIDS. For CFS and MS, I

have found no clear information at all regarding any interaction with

AIDS. For RA reports are mixed.
