Summary | Psoriasis is a chronic, systemic, inflammatory disease affecting mainly the skin and the joints. It is an immune cell-mediated disease in which T-lymphocyte activation and a subsequent inflammatory response are of great importance in its pathogenesis. We measured an array of inflammatory markers in psoriatic patients eligible for biological treatment. The comparison of this group at baseline and after twelve weeks of Etanercept treatment revealed a statistically important reduction in all markers as well as PASI score. This suggests that there might be an association between clinical improvement and reduced inflammatory burden. | ||
