TRATTAMENTO ASSOCIATO UVB-DITRANOLO IN PAZIENTI CON PSORIASI A PLACCHE
No full textThe purpose of this study was to determine whether the combination of ultraviolet B therapy and anthralin would result in a more rapid resolution of plaque-type psoriasis. Short-contact anthralin (0.5% in petrolatum) was used. Ultraviolet B irradiation was carried out 5 times a week with a bank of 8 Philips TL 40W/12 tubes (irradiance, 1 mW/cm2 30 cm).

These results show both a more rapid clearance of psoriatic plaques and lower UVB total dose with anthralin pretreatment
