Treatment modalities of psoriatics over a 6-year period (1975-1981).

Foged EK, Schmidt H.

Abstract

For an evaluation of the various treatments given to psoriatics, a total of 243 outpatients, all seen in 1975, were 

followed during a 6-year period. 18.1% underwent only one sort of treatment, 44.9% two sorts and 18.1% three sorts. 

The rest underwent four or more treatment modalities. Topical steroids were the most commonly used form of therapy 

given to 88.5%. Grenz-rays were given in small amounts to 73.3%, most often as a supplement to topical steroids. 

Methotrexate was given to 12.3%, PUVA to 13.6%, etretinate to 3.3% and UVB to 1.2%. 26.3% were treated as 

inpatients during the observation period, and finally 7.0% were treated at the Dead Sea.
