[Experience in introducing the method of placental therapy in vitiligo in Ukraine].
The preparation "melagenin" stimulating reproduction of melanocytes and synthesis of melanotic pigment was isolated from human placenta in Cuba. As many as 366 pediatric patients with vitiligo who ranged from 4 to 15 years old were followed up for 1 year. In 62 cases the area of depigmentation amounted to 71 to 100%. Treatment with melagenin proved to be effective in 83% of vitiligo patients. Indications and contraindications have been determined.
