title: The use of the Psorilux 3050A machine in the management of psoriasis of the hands and feet.
abstract: Eleven patients with severe psoriasis involving the palms and soles have been treated using a high-energy source of UV-A and UV-B with no additional topical or systemic photosensitizing drug. The results showed marginal benefit of UV-A alone over conventioonal topical tar therapy. The high energy output of the machine makes it essential that personnel supervising therapy are adequately protected.
