LIGHT-SENSITIVE PSORIASIS AND ANTIMALARIAL DRUGS

[摘要] Fourteen patients with light-sensitive psoriasis were treated by chloroquine. In contrast to the reaction of patients with the common non-light-sensitive psoriasis, not a single patient worsened under treatment. In 3 cases there was a marked improvement and in 7 cases a slight improvement. In the control group of common cases of non-light-sensitive psoriasis, in 8 out of the 10 patients under chloroquine treatment there was an exacerbation of the disease.
