Recently, association between psoriasis and Vitamin D level has also been reported. Our aim of study was to evaluate the association of vitamin D and its association with the severity of Psoriasis Materials andmethods:
60 patients diagnosed with psoriasis, in our outpatient department from January 2021 to December 2021, were included the study. 58 age, gender- and skin phototype- matched healthy controls were included in the study.Results:
The serum vitamin D level in patients and in the control group ranged from 7 to 24 ng/ml (mean 13.04 �32 ng/ml) and from 16 to 65 ng/ml (mean 23.91�08 ng/ml), respectively. The circulating vit D levels were less in patients compared to control. The analysis showed statistical significance (P< 0.05) between the two groups.Conclusion:
