Psychosocial factors in patient with multiple autoimmune diseases

We are presenting a female patient with multiple chronic, mostly autoimmune diseases, vitilgo, psoriasis and morphea. She has also diabetes and arterial hypertension. Our patient was xposed to may traumatic experiences during childhood and adolescence. We explored negative life experiences that had happened before the appearence of psoriasis and vitiligo. Recent studies suggest that multiple traumatic life events during childhood and adolescence in combination with genetic background could increase the vulnerabity for developing some autoimmune diseases. Therefore, for the tratment of these patients, interdisciplinary approach is needed. That includes the participation of the dermatologist and a psychiatrist- psychotherapist.
