DiagnosisThis section has been translated automatically.
The diagnosis "psoriasis vulgaris" is a purely clinical diagnosis. In this respect, the examiner and his clinical experience are of fundamental importance.
The clinical picture as well as the distribution pattern of the plaques (capillitium, distribution on the extensor side, isomorphism, infestation of elbow and knee), the characteristic lesional psoriasis phenomena including the typical nail fall are of decisive importance for the diagnosis.
Laboratory values are of no diagnostic significance.
If necessary, the diagnosis can be confirmed by histological examinations (note: histological examinations will only yield conclusive results if no antipsoriatic pre-treatment has influenced the clinical appearance). The detection of Munro's microabscesses is conclusive for the diagnosis of "psoriasis", but often cannot be carried out.
