Sažetak
A field investigation, aiming to establish the prevalence of Psoriasis vulgaris (PV) in the city of Osijek, included 3000 inhabitants. The disease was diagnosed in 44 examinees (20 females and 24 males), i.e. the prevalence is 1.46%, with the relation of 1.2:1 to the benefit of the females. Females develop the disease somewhat earlier, mostly before the age of 20, whereas in males it appears between the ages of 20 and 29. Positive family history of PV, obtained in 27.3 % of the patients, suggests an important role of genetic load in the clinical expression of the disease.
