- Abstract
The article reports on combined therapy with oral retinoid and PUVA baths in severe psoriasis. Promising results of oral treatment of psoriasis with a synthetic derivative of vitamin A have recently been reported. During a clinical trial of this retinoid, scientists observed a good response in three out of seven patients with severe psoriasis. These three patients and one with insufficient effect of retinoid alone were subsequently treated with trioxsalen baths and UV-A light (PUVA baths) with rapid healing. When PUVA baths alone had been tried earlier with three of the patients, this treatment was ineffective.
