다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

In order to study immunological responses in psoriatic lesions, direct immunofluorescence(DIF) findings in stratum corneum of psoriatic lesions are compared with histopathological changes. The results are summerized as follows: 1) Deposition of Igs or C 3 in stratum corneum of psoriatic lesions was demonstrated in 14(56%) of 25 psoriasis patients. IgG was present in 40% IgA in 48%, IgM in 24%, and C 3 in 32%. However, DIF findings are negative in the str,atum corneum in the uninvolved skin of psoriasiis. In control groups of 12 cases of various skin diseases, DIF findings were negative in the stratum corneum except 1 case of a patient with acne rosacea. 2)DIF findings in 22 cases of histopathologic changes of psoriatic lesions were found in 50% of hyperkeratosis in 48% of parakeratosis in 50% of Munro microabscess, in 50%, of spongiform pustule, and in 57% of the absence of stratum granulosum: ie, about only 50% were positive in DIF results. Histopathologic changes in 11 cases of positive DIF finding in psoriatic lesions were hyperkeratosis in 100%, parakeratosis in 91%, Munro microabscess in 64%, spongiform pustule in 55%, and the absence of stratum granulosum in 73%.
