Özet

Background and Design: It has been reported that the focal infections may trigger the formation and/or exacerbation of psoriasis lesions. Although it is known that the most frequent association is with throat infection, it is emphasized that urinary tract infections should be considered as a triggering factor due to improvement of psoriatic lesions after treatment of active or asymptomatic urinary tract infection in some cases. The aim of our study was to evaluate the frequency of genitourinary infection (GUI) and to compare the clinical and demographic features of cases with and without GUI.
