Treatment of palmoplantar psoriasis with monochromatic excimer light (308-nm) versus cream PUVA.
Palmoplantar psoriasis is a chronic disease, which is very resistant to treatment and often leads to severe disabilities. Photochemotherapy employing psoralens combined with UVA irradiation (PUVA) is a well-accepted therapy for palmoplantar psoriasis. Its topical application (bath PUVA; cream PUVA) avoids the typical side effects of orally applied psoralens. We compared the efficacy of cream PU...

متن کاملImprovement of Anti-TNF-α Antibody-Induced Palmoplantar Pustular Psoriasis Using a 308-nm Excimer Light
Anti-tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α antibody is utilized in the treatment of a variety of chronic inflammatory conditions, including psoriasis. However, it can induce paradoxical development and/or exacerbation of psoriasis in the course of anti-TNF-α antibody treatment, which is sometimes refractory to conventional treatments. Herein, we report a case of refractory palmoplantar pustular psorias...
متن کاملMonochromatic Excimer Light for the Treatment of Palmoplantar Psoriasis
Palmoplantar psoriasis (PPP) presents with typical scaly patches sometimes studded with sterile pustules. It is chronic and recalcitrant to therapy; it often causes itching, burning, painful ragades and can lead to severe disabilities (1). Some preliminary works (2-4) have established that an excimer laser-generated 308 nm UVB radiation is effective in the treatment of psoriasis. In our study, ...
