Although often benign, severe forms exist with important repercussions on the quality of life.

We proceeded to the prospective collection of 238 patients consulting for psoriasis over a period from May to November 2010. The mean age of the patients was 40.8 ± 17.4 years with an onset age of 32.2 ± 17.2 years. There was a male predominance (62.7%) and among the cardiovascular risk factors, smoking was found in 39.2% of cases, followed by hypertension (11.3%), diabetes and dyslipidemia (9.7%). Family history of psoriasis was present in 26.5% of cases. Psoriasis vulgaris was the most common type of psoriasis (91.4%). Rheumatic involvement was present in 15.6% of cases. Psoriasis was a social and personal handicap in 8.4% of cases.
