INTRODUCTION
Psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune inflammatory disease associated with
both genetic and environmental factors. Clinical presentations include
characteristic skin lesions, arthritis, and other extracutaneous
manifestations.1 Several pathogens may contribute to
the activation of psoriasis.2-4 There is an increasing
prevalence in the association of latent human papillomavirus (HPV)
infection with rare skin diseases.5 We report a case
of psoriasis with possible activation of latent HPV, which has not been
described previously.
