Evaluating Serum Level Of IL 31 , IL33 and IL36 and Their Correlation with Disease Activity In Patients With Psoriasis In Assuit University Hospital .

• To correlate their levels with disease activity using PASI score .
• To allow better understanding of the pathophysiological mechanism of the disease .

Serum samples will be collected from 45 psoriasis patients and 45 matched healthy individuals. After full history taking and dermatological examination, the disease severity will be assessed using the psoriasis area and severity index (PASI) score.
