Additionally, IFN-\u03b3 (Th1), IL-4 (Th2), and IL-17A (Th17)-dominant cell populations were measured using flow cytometry. Clinical severity was assessed using measures including the overall ichthyosis score (ICH score), which integrates erythema (E), scaling (S), and body surface area (BSA) scores.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study analysed interleukins in 48 congenital ichthyosis patients and 34 controls. We observed a significant upregulation of IL-17A and IL-23 in all patients, particularly autosomal recessive congenital ichthyosis (ARCI), X-linked recessive ichthyosis (XLRI), and Netherton syndrome (NS) subtypes. Similarly, serum levels of IL-17A were significantly augmented in all ichthyosis subtypes, with ARCI showing the highest increase. Whereas, an increase in IL-23 was only detected in ARCI. NS patients had significantly increased IL-22 levels.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Limitations<\/jats:title>\n
