No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The pathogeneses of many inflammatory diseases are not completely understood, yet, dysregulation of the human microbiota is increasingly being investigated as a possible contributing factor. The human microbiota includes bacteria, archaea, viruses and fungi. In general, little is known about the fungal colonization in inflammatory skin diseases.

This study aims to examine the prevalence of microbiome in skin and oral mucosa of a variety of patients and healthy volunteers visiting the Dermatological outpatient clinic.

The study is designed as a case-control study comparing the incidence of colonization or infection in skin and oral mucosa of patients with different skin diseases and healthy volunteers.

Patients with selected skin diseases, staff at Zealand University Hospital in Roskilde, relatives to staff and students with relation to the Dermatologic Department will be asked to fill out a short questionnaire and have swaps taken from oral mucosa, as well as skin scrapings and tape strips from lesional skin (only patients) and non-lesional skin (all).
