title: [Psoriasis pustulosa: iron as a therapeutic agent?].
abstract: In a case of psoriasis pustulosa the benefit of iron-therapy is discussed, as it is described in literature. Diagnostic criteria are stated that are necessary for the diagnosis: iron deficiency, also in psoriasis pustulosa. Only true iron deficiency justifies iron medication. Even in its pustular variants per se psoriasis is no indication for high-dose parenteral iron-application.
