[Relation between psoriasis and measles (author's transl)].
A measles rash may abolish psoriatic lesions. Therefore, the titer of measles antibodies in the blood of psoriatics were examined. Psoriatics with measles in the history had a light type of psoriasis and low titers of measles antibodies, psoriatic without measles in the history, however, had severe types of psoriasis, and the titers of measles antibodies were high. Psoriatics were treated with three times the dosage of measles vaccine. The lesions disappeared in 60% of the psoriatics within 4-5 weeks, 40% improved; the local therapy, however was continued.
