Nowadays, the problem of chronic dermatoses prevalence remains relevant. Typically, chronic dermatoses occur in the setting of somatic pathology, aggravating the skin process manifestation. The autonomic nervous system condition in patients with chronic dermatoses remains poorly understood. In this regard, the studying aspect of the relationship between autonomic status condition parameters in patients with chronic dermatoses and skin process manifestations is relevant. The study group included patients with skin and subcutaneous fat diseases (class XII for ICD-10). The selection criteria concerned chronic non-infectious dermatoses. The study involved 20 patients (13 men and 7 women of the average age 35.7 years old) with a history of chronic dermatoses: 10 of them with psoriasis, 10 — with eczema. Family history in dermatology was observed in four. Several somatic diseases presence in one patient, i.e. comorbidity, was observed in 7 subjects (35%). In 16 patients (75%), a distinctive fact was the vagotonia predominance, and in 4 (25%) — eutonia. Thus, the conducted studies allow concluding that the parasympathetic nervous system prevails in patients with chronic dermatoses.
