Ultraviolet light inhibition of oriented fibrin formation in psoriasis
The British Journal of Dermatology
|October 1, 1978
Abstract:
Radially-oriented fibrin crystallization was induced by incubation of blood from psoriatic patients with killed Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The phenomenon was inhibited by irradiation of the buffy coat in plasma with UV-B. It was not inhibited by UV-A unless trioxsalen had been added. Addition of UV-A-irradiated plasma to non-irradiated buffy coat also inhibits the fibrin formation.
