The clinical association of streptococcal infections and psoriasis is well established. The recent finding that the T cells in psoriasis skin respond to streptococcal peptidoglycan now suggests a pathway for an adaptive immune response to the streptococcal organism. These observations may allow for possible vaccines to be developed for psoriasis.
链球菌感染与银屑病之间的临床关联已得到充分证实。最近的研究发现,银屑病皮肤中的T细胞对链球菌肽聚糖有反应,这表明了一种针对链球菌的适应性免疫反应途径。这些观察结果可能有助于开发针对银屑病的疫苗。
