title: [Treatment of psoriasis arthropathica with bromocriptine].
abstract: 35 patients suffering from psoriatic arthritis were systemically treated with bromocriptine at increasing doses, starting at 2.5 mg up to 30 mg per day. In 77% of the patients, we observed significant remission; 34% showed total remission and 43% remission of approximately 50% of the articular symptoms. Previous long-term treatment with commonly used anti-rheumatic drugs was not effective in any of the cases.
