[The clinical and functional state of the liver in patients with psoriasis in the presence of chronic opisthorchiasis].
OBJECTIVE
to study the clinical and functional state of the liver in patients with psoriasis concurrent with chronic opisthorchiasis (CO).


METHODS
Twenty-eight patients with psoriasis concurrent with CO, 15 patients with CO, 15 patients with the enlarged liver, and 15 healthy individuals were examined. Serum biochemical study and ultrasonography of the liver and gallbladder were used.


CONCLUSIONS
The patients with comorbidity were found to have hepatomegaly with syndromes of cytolysis, cholestasis, and mesenchymal inflammation of more degrees than those from Groups 2 and 3.


CONCLUSIONS
The found clinical and functional liver changes in patients with psoriasis concurrent with CO make it necessary to perform anthelmintic therapy in this category of patients.
