Molecular diagnostics in hand dermatoses: clinical findings and health-related quality of life in a 3-year follow-up cohort study
Hand eczema and psoriasis present overlapping clinical features, complicating diagnosis and treatment selection. Traditional diagnostic methods rely on clinical assessment, patient history, allergy testing, and histopathology. However, recent advancements in molecular diagnostics offer promising alt...

| Riassunto: | Hand eczema and psoriasis present overlapping clinical features, complicating diagnosis and treatment selection. Traditional diagnostic methods rely on clinical assessment, patient history, allergy testing, and histopathology. However, recent advancements in molecular diagnostics offer promising alternatives. Accurate diagnosis is crucial for optimal therapy selection, particularly in occupational dermatology, where hand eczema is a common occupational disease.This study aims to assess the effectiveness of molecular diagnostics in distinguishing hand eczema from psoriasis, analyze disease severity and chronicity, and evaluate therapeutic changes and health-related quality of life (HrQoL) over a 2-year period. |
