title: [Plasma exchange therapy in dermatologic diseases. Review of literature and personal experiences in psoriasis vulgaris].
abstract: High molecular pathogenic substances are eliminated from the blood by plasma exchange. Main indications are autoimmune disorders; the experiences with this therapy in dermatological disorders are reviewed. In psoriasis vulgaris immunoglobulins and antigen-antibody-complexes has been discussed as pathogenetic, too; we have therefore treated four patients with psoriasis by plasma exchange. Although we observed a surprising clinical improvement during the initial phase of therapy, the final results are not convincing.
