    Long-term psoralen and UV-A (PUVA) therapy significantly impacts peripheral blood lymphocytes in psoriasis patients. This treatment reduces E rosette-forming cells and impairs lymphocyte function, indicating altered immune cell profiles.

    Area of Science:

    • Immunology
    • Dermatology
    • Phototherapy

    Background:

    • Psoralen and UV-A (PUVA) therapy is a common treatment for psoriasis.
    • Long-term effects of PUVA on immune cell function require further investigation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the effects of long-term PUVA therapy on peripheral blood lymphocyte surface markers and function in psoriasis patients.

    Main Methods:

    • Analysis of surface markers and function of peripheral blood lymphocytes.
    • Comparison between patients with high PUVA exposure, untreated patients, and UV-B treated patients.
    • Assessment of lymphocyte responses to mitogen stimulation and in vitro PUVA sensitivity.

    Main Results:

    • PUVA-treated patients exhibited reduced E rosette-forming cells in peripheral blood.

  • Lymphocyte responses to mitogens were markedly impaired in PUVA-treated patients.
  • In vitro sensitivity to PUVA was comparable across all patient groups.

    • Conclusions:

    • Long-term PUVA therapy leads to alterations in lymphocyte function and cell-surface markers.
    • These changes suggest a potential impact on the immune system's peripheral blood lymphocyte compartment.
