Conditions

Recurrent Pityriasis Versicolor

Brief summary

Blood samples will be taken from cases presenting with recurrent tinea versicolor , after confirmation of diagnosis by wood's light and KOH examination, for the detection of gene polymorphism in IL17 A and IL17 F. In addition , serum samples from patients and controls will be tested for 25(OH)2 D3
