Although topical and systemic drugs with proven effectiveness are used in the treatment, ozone therapy is also applied as a treatment option based on clinical personal experience and with limited published knowledge. In this project, the aim was to evaluate the effectiveness of major ozone therapy in psoriasis patients together with biomarkers in serum. Methods: A total of 26 psoriasis patients and 19 healthy controls were included in the study. The disease severity was evaluated by the psoriasis area severity index score and grouped as mild, moderate\/severe. Serum tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-\u03b1), interleukin 1-beta (IL-1\u03b2), high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (Hs-CRP), sialic acid, and Sialic acid binding Ig-like Lectin-14 (Siglec-14) levels were investigated in controls and psoriasis patients. Results: Psoriasis area severity index (PASI) score decreased significantly in psoriasis patients after ozone autohemotherapy application (p &lt; 0.005). The values of IL-1\u03b2, sialic acid, and Siglec-14 after treatment in healthy subjects were statistically significantly higher than in psoriasis patients. It was found that Hs-CRP and Siglec-14 decreased in all patients after treatment, Hs-CRP decreased more significantly in mild psoriasis patients, and Siglec-14 decreased in both mild and moderate-severe groups (p &lt; 0.05). Conclusions: Our research results suggest that ozone autohemotherapy has clinical efficacy in psoriasis patients, inflammation also has a role in the mechanism of action, and its effectiveness in treatment can be evaluated with inflammation markers.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm15020485","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,1,8]],"date-time":"2026-01-08T09:01:29Z","timestamp":1767862889000},"page":"485","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Evaluation of Major Autohemotherapy (MAH) in Psoriasis Patients Using Serum Inflammatory Markers"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5293-5201","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Se\u00e7il","family":"Soylu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dermatology and Venereology, Division of Internal Medical Sciences, Faculty of Medicine, Afyonkarahisar Health Sciences University, Afyonkarahisar 03030, T\u00fcrkiye"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7449-7513","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Nazl\u0131","family":"\u015eensoy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Family Medicine, Division of Internal Medical Sciences, Faculty of Medicine, Afyonkarahisar Health Sciences University, Afyonkarahisar 03030, T\u00fcrkiye"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Nurhan","family":"Do\u011fan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biostatistics and Medical Informatics, Division of Basic Medical Sciences, Faculty of Medicine, Afyonkarahisar Health Sciences University, Afyonkarahisar 03030, T\u00fcrkiye"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Halit Bu\u011fra","family":"Koca","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medical Biochemistry, Division of Basic Medical Sciences, Faculty of Medicine, Afyonkarahisar Health Sciences University, Afyonkarahisar 03030, T\u00fcrkiye"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"T\u00fclay","family":"K\u00f6ken","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medical Biochemistry, Division of Basic Medical Sciences, Faculty of Medicine, Afyonkarahisar Health Sciences University, Afyonkarahisar 03030, T\u00fcrkiye"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,1,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2503","DOI":"10.2147\/CCID.S420850","article-title":"Cellular mechanisms of psoriasis pathogenesis: A systemic review","volume":"16","author":"Wu","year":"2023","journal-title":"Clin.
