The article describes high incidence and morbidity rate of psoriasis, substantial reduction in the life quality and psychosocial disadaptation of patients, and presents certain particular features of psoriasis pathogenesis taking into consideration the role of immune mechanisms and relation between the disease and other chronic processes in the organism, as a result of which psoriasis is considered to be a multimorbid condition. The multimorbidity of psoriasis is an important factor for selecting a therapy, especially for patients with severe forms of the disease.
