[Morphofunctional alterations of the small intestine in patients with psoriasis and concomitant chronic opisthorchiasis].
To characterize the small intestine clinically and functionally in psoriasis combination with chronic opisthorhiasis, 60 patients were examined with this combination, 45 with psoriasis but no helminthosis, 30 patients with chronic opisthorchiasis and 15 healthy subjects. Small intestinal absorption was studied by fat and carbohydrates absorption; bioelectric small intestinal activity--by electroenterography. Absorption in the small intestine of patients with mixed pathology was impaired. Pathogenetic mechanisms of such impairment were the following: low amplitude of bioelectrical activity of the small intestine, subnormal concentration of bile acids in the vesical bile, defects in microbial biocenosis of the intestine, structural disorders of the upper small intestine. Abnormal absorption in the small intestine correlated with psoriasis clinical picture (stages, duration, size of the lesion, disease severity).
