Abstract:
Our study was performed to evaluate the efficacy of anthralin-UVB therapy for psoriasis by simplifying the conventional Ingram regimen, 34 patients(21 admitted, and 13 OPD patients) were included in our study and the resulti can be summarized as follows. 1. There were no cases of treatment failure. 16 patients(76. 2%) out of the 2l admitted patients and 7 patients(53.8%) out of the 13 OPD patients showed clearing. 2. In the case of the admitted patients, the mean numbers of therapy(days) of the improved patients reaching grade 4 were 12. 0(18. 1 days) in the trunk lesions and 15. 5 (22. 0 days) in the extremity lesions' and those of the cleared patients reaching grade 4 were 11. 2(16. 0 days) in the trunk lesions, and 13. 4(lg. 5 days) in the extremity lesions, but the difference was not significant statistically(pp o.ps). The difference between the therapeutic effects of the admitted and the OPD patients was significant statistically(p<0. 05). 3. There were some notable side effects such as staining, pruritus, and erythema, but there were no cases of therapy termination.
