title: [Impaired intestinal absorption in patients with psoriasis concurrent with chronic opisthorchiasis].
abstract: The study was undertaken to characterize small intestinal absorption in patients with psoriasis concurrent with chronic opisthorchiasis. Sixty patients with psoriasis concurrent with chronic opisthorchiasis, 45 patients with psoriasis without helminthiasis, and 15 healthy individuals were examined. The absorptive function of the small intestine was studied by the Kamer method (fat absorption) and with the D-xylose (5 g) test (carbohydrate absorption). Impaired small intestinal absorption of fats and carbohydrates was found in patients with psoriasis concurrent with chronic opisthorchiasis. There was a relationship of these disorders to the clinical picture of psoriasis (stages, duration, skin damage areas, severity).
