Published data on the prevalence of onychomycosis in psoriasis patients compared with healthy controls are controversial, We therefore conducted a prospective study of toenail onychomycosis, among 113 psoriatic and 106 healthy non-psoriatic subjects, selected from the normal population in the Jerusalem area in the period 2003-05. The results revealed a prevalence of 47.6% toenail onychomycosis among psoriatic patients, compared with 28.4% in normal controls (p=0.0054). Both gender and age affected the prevalence of onychomycosis in both psoriatic and healthy controls, with a higher prevalence in male and elderly subjects. The type and duration of psoriasis were also found to have an impact on the prevalence of onychomycosis. However, the body area involved did not affect the prevalence of onychomycosis in psoriatic patients. Approximately the same percentages of dermatophytes and yeasts were found in psoriatic patients as in healthy controls. However, a higher percentage of moulds was found in psoriatic patients.
与健康对照相比，关于银屑病患者甲真菌病患病率的已发表数据存在争议。因此，我们对2003年至2005年期间从耶路撒冷地区正常人群中选取的113例银屑病患者和106例健康非银屑病受试者进行了一项关于趾甲甲真菌病的前瞻性研究。结果显示，银屑病患者中趾甲甲真菌病的患病率为47.6%，而正常对照中为28.4%（p = 0.0054）。性别和年龄均影响银屑病患者和健康对照中甲真菌病的患病率，男性和老年受试者的患病率更高。还发现银屑病的类型和病程对甲真菌病的患病率有影响。然而，受累身体部位并未影响银屑病患者中甲真菌病的患病率。在银屑病患者中发现的皮肤癣菌和酵母菌百分比与健康对照大致相同。然而，在银屑病患者中发现的霉菌百分比更高。
