[Clinical observation on treatment of vitiligo with xiaobai mixture].
OBJECTIVE
To observe the therapeutic effect of Xiaobai Mixture (XBM) in treating vitiligo.


METHODS
Seventy-four patients with vitiligo were randomly divided into the XBM group treated with XBM and the control group treated with 8-MOP. The therapeutic effect, nail-fold microcirculation, plasma endothelin-1, serum immunoglobulin were observed and compared.


RESULTS
The therapeutic effect of XBM was better than that of 8-MOP (P < 0.05). XBM could also obviously improve the nail-fold microcirculation, elevate the plasma endothelin-1 level and lower the serum IgG (P < 0.01).


CONCLUSIONS
