Psoriasis is a chronic systemic inflammatory disease with various co-morbidities, having been recently considered as a comprehensive disease named psoriatic disease or psoriatic syndrome. Autoimmune diseases are one form of its co-morbidities. In addition to the genetic background, shared pathogenesis including innate immunity, neutrophil extracellular trap (NETs), and type I interferon, as well as acquitted immunity such as T helper-17 (Th17) related cytokines are speculated to play a significant role in both psoriasis and connective tissue diseases. On the other hand, there are definite differences between psoriasis and connective tissue diseases, such as their pathomechanisms and response to drugs. Therefore, we cannot expect that one stone kills two birds, and thus caution is necessary when considering whether the administered drug for one disease is effective or not for another disease. In this review, several connective tissue diseases and related diseases are discussed from the viewpoint of their coexistence with psoriasis.
