Abstract:
Ten psoriatic patients were treated with an accelerated PUVA regimen. Nine patients cleared in an average of 13.7 treatments (range 4-24) after an average total UVA dose of 83 J/cm2 (range 18-186). One patient had to withdraw due to pruritus and burning and six others had burning problems. The high incidence of burning may limit the routine use of this irradiation regimen.
