title: [Local PUVA therapy of patients with psoriasis].
abstract: Various external photosensitizers have been compared in local PUVA therapy of 280 patients with psoriasis treated in Moscow at the Central Research Institute for Skin and Sexually Transmitted Diseases, the USSR Ministry of Health, and in Warsaw at the Dermatology Hospital. In Moscow 127 patients have been administered 0.3% ammifurin solution, 73 ones 0.1% psoralen solution; in Warsaw 50 patients have been administered 0.1% puvaderm ointment (Basan) made in Finland and 30 patients 0.1% oxoralen emulsion manufactured in Austria. A good clinical effect has been achieved in 252 patients (90%). Ammifurin 0.3% solution and puvaderm 0.1% ointment have proved to be the most effective. External photosensitizers are recommended for local or as a supplement to total PUVA therapy.
