[Dermatologic pathology in chronic alcoholics].
A total of 1159 chronic alcoholics, treated at narcology departments, have been screened for dermatologic diseases. The reference group consisted of 2735 subjects matched for age and working conditions, but not abusing alcohol. Skin diseases have been detected in 43% of alcoholic patients; this is almost 5 times more that in the reference group. Psoriasis has been found 10 times more frequently in these patients than in the controls. These results prompt that dermatologists should take part in comprehensive examinations and treatment of alcoholic patients.
