Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 97 psoriatic patients in dermatology and PUVA clinic in Afzalipour hospital in Kerman from March 2009 to March 2010. Quality of life and disease severity were Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) and Psoriasis Area Severity Index (PASI). Data analysis was done through conducting, chi-square and one-way AVONA tests and P<0.05 was considered as significant. 

Results: 55.7% of patients were male and mean age of them was 35.3 years (range: 16-75 years). Psoriasis vulgaris was the most common type (76.3%), and arthropathy was seen in 3.1% of patients. The mean duration of the disease was 21 months (range: 11 months-30 years).The mean of DLQI score was 14.1(range: 1-29) and mean PASI score was 18.6 (range: 0.6-66.6). DLOI score correlated with severity of disease (PASI), marital status, and type of the disease (P<0.05).

Conclusion: Psoriasis has a severe negative impact on the quality of life of the patients. Therefore, supportive social and spiritual efforts are necessary to decrease these effects.

Abstract
Background and Aim: Telogen effluvium (TE) is a type of diffuse hair loss that occurs 2 to 3 months after a stressful event, including a covid-19 infection. The aim of this study was to determine the frequency of TE in women with covid-19.
Methods: This descriptive study was conducted on 270 women who referred to the skin and hair clinic of Imam Reza Ardabil Hospital with complaints of hair loss. Information related to the history of covid-19 infection, hospitalization, medications, vaccination and demographic characteristics were collected. The severity of alopecia was checked by clinical examination and traction test, and the data were analyzed with SPSS software.
Results: The average age of the patients was 41 years. 61.1% had a history of hospitalization, 43.7% used antibiotics, 61.8% used corticosteroids, and 51.8% used NSAID. The severity of Covid-19 had a significant relationship with the earlier occurrence of TE (P=0.001) and the increase in the number of pulled hairs in the traction test (P=0.001). Hospitalization due to covid-19 and corticosteroid use reduced the time between illness and onset of TE symptoms. The injection of AstraZeneca vaccine was associated with an increase in the number of plucked hairs (P=0.02).
Conclusion: The severity of TE was related to the severity of covid-19, hospitalization, corticosteroid use and injection of AstraZeneca vaccine.
