Abstract

Abstract: Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin disease which was first identified in 1841. However, this condition was recognized centuries earlier. This disease affects the outer side of elbows, knees, and scalps. In psoriatic patients, skin cells regenerate faster than their normal rate (28 days), which is approximately every 2 days. This study aimed to obtain the profile of psoriatic cases in Prof. Dr. R. D. Kandou Hospital Manado from January to December 2012. This was a descriptive and retrospective study on the number of cases, number of patients, sex, age, and occupation of patients, as well as types of treatment of psoriasis. The results showed that of 48 cases of psoriasis (1.21%), the highest number of cases found was psoriasis vulgaris (58%), affecting males (56.25%), and in the age group of 45-64 years old (58.33%). The majority of the patients had unknown occupation (31.25%) and the most common type of treatment was a combination therapy of topical corticosteroid and antihistamine (29.17%).
