The
link between Psoriasis and the “long lived” streptococci bacteria has opened up
wider options in treating Psoriasis. A study conducted in Jaipur few years ago
revealed that the remnants of streptococci bacteria which were left in the body
following throat infection had the potential of causing psoriasis after a gap
ranging from few months to several years. This was confirmed when the doctors
found that when killed streptococcal material was injected in the skin of
normal persons, psoriasis developed at the site of injection. Further
confirmation of this happened when psoriatic patients started responding more
favourably to an anti-streptococcal line of treatment.
