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.
