Candida albicans and Streptococcus pyogenes induce IL-17 response in circulating CLA+ T cells in psoriasis, thereby indicating an established adaptive immune response to these microorganisms in this disease. Upon migration to cutaneous lesions, these cells react with those microbes and locally trigger IL-17 and IL-9 production, which will contribute to inducing psoriasis autoantigens.
