Psoriasis treatment in Vienna
Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory disease that is caused by a malfunction of the body's immune system. In those affected (approx. 2% of the world's population), the skin renews itself eight times faster than normal. The immune cells are over-activated and release inflammatory factors in the skin, resulting in scaly, red, sharply defined areas and itching.
Through years of research into treatment options for psoriasis, Prof. Dr. Tamara Kopp and Dr. Christine Bangert are considered psoriasis experts and have even been awarded the Heinrich Auspitz Prize.
Forms of psoriasis
Psoriasis vulgaris
Is the most common form (around 90% of all sufferers), also known as plaque psoriasis (usually on the knees, elbows and back)
Psoriasis inversa
Occurs in body folds (armpits, abdominal folds, anal and genital area, under the breast)
Psoriasis capitis
Also known as scalp psoriasis (on the hairy part of the head)
Nail psoriasis
Occurs in about half of all psoriasis patients; can lead to changes in the nail structure or even destruction of the nail plate
Drop-shaped psoriasis
Mostly in children after streptococcal infection (spots all over the body)
Pustular psoriasis
Yellowish pustules on the psoriasis lesions

Possible side effects of psoriasis
Affected people are at increased risk of cardiovascular disease, metabolic disorders and obesity. In addition to the skin symptoms, around one in four psoriasis patients also suffer from psoriatic arthritis, an inflammatory joint disease that causes swelling and pain.
Due to the severe itching and the visually unattractive affected areas of skin, this disease also causes psychological distress, which can lead to depression.

Treatments & therapies for psoriasis
What medical treatment options are available for psoriasis?
Although psoriasis cannot be cured, there are already several ways to significantly reduce the symptoms. Good skin care products in the form of moisturizing creams, ointments and lotions can improve the condition of the skin and prolong the period without symptoms.
There are various treatment options depending on the degree of severity:
Study by Prof. Dr. Tamara Kopp
Blockade of IL-23 as a therapeutic option for psoriasis
A clinical study by associate professor Dr. Tamara Koppand Dr. Christine Bangert shows that the targeted blockade of a specific messenger substance of the immune system (IL-23) improves the skin symptoms of psoriasis. This messenger substance also plays a role in rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis and Crohn's disease.
She was awarded the Heinrich Auspitz Prize for this research and is considered a psoriasis expert.
The anti-IL-23 antibody is not yet approved for the treatment of psoriasis.
