Sažetak
Psoriasis is a skin disease in which etiopathogenesis, genetical, environmental and immunological factors play a role. Psoriasis meant in ancient time itch, but some authors believe pruritus is not an important symptom of psoriasis. The pathogenesis of pruritus in psoriasis as in atopic dermatitis and some other skin diseases is not completely understood. Recent research support that pruritus is present in about 60-80 percent of psoriatic patients and the intensity correlate with the severity of the disease. This can further worsen it and impaired the quality of life of the patients.
