[Experience with the photochemotherapy of psoriasis in Lausanne (author's transl)]

The results of photochemotherapy of psoriasis with oral 8-methoxypsoralen and long-wave ultraviolet light reported here are comparable to those observed in other centers using the same method of treatment. An average of 17-20 treatments was required to obtain clearing; 99-100% clearing was obtained in nearly 90% of the treated patients.
