[Co-occurrence of psychiatric and dermatologic disorders. Case studies].
Cytokine regulation disturbances have a significant role in the pathogenesis of psychiatric disorders, schizophrenia and depression, as well as in dermatologic disorders. Probably it is one of the reasons of the co-occurrence of these two kinds of disorders. Two cases of psychiatric and dermatologic disorders occurring together are presented in this paper. In the first case study depression was associated with atopic dermatitis, in the second case the delusion disorder was described with secondary dermatologic sequellae. In both cases, after psychopharmacotherapy, the improvement of the psychic state was correlated with the relief or regression of skin symptoms.
