title: DNA synthesis and mitosis in uninvolved epidermis of persistent palmoplantar pustulosis.
abstract: Mitotic and DNA synthesizing cell counts have been performed in uninvolved epidermis of twenty-one patients with persistent palmoplantar pustulosis (PPP). There was no difference in mitotic counts and DNA synthesis in PPP compared with normal epidermis, but both were significantly lower than those found in the clinically uninvolved epidermis of patients with psoriasis.
