[Tesigraphic studies of the blood serum in psoriasis patients].
82 patients with psoriasis and 10 apparently healthy subjects (group of control) were examined. After analysis of the psoriasis patients blood serum thesigrammes in this study 3 distinct types were identified: tree-like one (49%), bush-bunch type (44%), and polymorphous type (7%). In a microscopic investigation, thesigrammes of psoriasis patients differed from those of healthy subjects in respect of morphostructural features in spite of macroscopic similarity. While studying thesigrammes during the time-related course of the illness significant differences depending on the stage of psoriasis were disclosed. The results secured permit asserting that the thesigraphic method of investigation into the blood serum can be used for the diagnosis of the condition, objectivization of control over the effectiveness of treatment and prognostication of the course of psoriasis.
