Abstract:
We studied the efficacy of granulocyte and monocyte adsorption apheresis in 2 patients with pustular psoriasis, one localized, the other generalized. Treatment with granulocyte and monocyte adsorption apheresis resulted in remarkable clearing of the skin lesions, suggesting that this therapy is a valuable tool for treating patients with intractable skin diseases attributable to activated granulocytes. We present detailed descriptions of these patients and this novel therapy.
