B- Complete dermatologic examination C- Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) score: The scoring involves rating the symptoms of psoriasis from none to very severe and estimating the percentage of the body that they affect.The range of absolute PASI scores is 0-72, with higher scores indicating a greater severity of psoriasis. A score of 0 indicates no psoriasis, while a score higher than 10 suggests severe psoriasis. The scoring system includes a section for intensity and another for body coverage .The score will be evaluated before treatment, at week 12 and at week 24. D- Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI): It is self-reported questionnaire . It has been translated to >110 languages. Measurement properties of the DLQI, such as validity, reliability, and responsiveness to change were reported. It is widely used in both clinical practice and research settings, including randomized controlled trials, patient registries, and national treatment and reimbursement guidelines . The study will depend on the Arabic Tunisian version of the DLQI questionnaire . DLQI consists of 10 questions related to symptoms, feelings, daily activities, leisure, work, personal relationships and the effects of treatment on daily life within the past week.
