title: Thalidomide therapy. An open trial.
abstract: In an open trial, 35 patients suffering from a variety of dermatologic conditions were treated with thalidomide. The drug was shown to be a valuable addition to the therapeutic armamentarium; however, the occurrence of a peripheral neuropathy will limit its use just as its teratogenic side effects have done for many years.
