Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to assess the severity of plaque-type psoriasis (common genetically determined, chronic, inflammatory skin disease characterized by rounded erythematous, dry, scaling patches. The lesions have a predilection for nails, scalp, genitalia, extensor surfaces, and the lumbosacral region) in brazilian participants with chronic plaque-type psoriasis.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Participant's Psoriasis Severity
Psoriasis severity will be graded as mild or moderate to severe based on psoriasis area and severity index (PASI) score;combined assessment of lesion severity and area affected into single score. Body will be divided into 4 sections:head, arms, trunk, and legs. For each section, percent (%) area of skin involved was estimated:0=0%, 1=less than (\<) 10%, 2=10 to \<30%, 3=30 to \<50%, 4=50 to \<70%, 5=70 to \<90%, 6=90 to 100%. Severity will be estimated by clinical signs:erythema,induration,desquamation;scale:0= none to 4=maximum. Final PASI=sum of severity parameters for each section\*area score\*weight of section (head:0.1,arms:0.2,body:0.3,legs:0.4);total possible score range: 0=no disease to 72=maximal disease or on the dermatology life quality index (DLQI);comprises 10 questions evaluated on a scale from 0 (not at all) to 3 (very much). The total scores may range from 0 to 30, with higher scores indicating a higher level of disability or on body surface area (BSA).

Brazilian Participants with Chronic Plaque-type Psoriasis
Brazilian participants with plaque psoriasis followed up at teaching and non-teaching specialized dermatology centers will be included in this study.
Interventions
Participants will not receive any intervention in this study. Participants with chronic plaque type psoriasis will be assessed at a single time point, primarily for severity of plaque-type psoriasis Participants will not be followed over time. Data will be collected from the medical consultation notes, medical records and during interviews.
