AUTOGRAFTS IN PSORIASIS

[摘要] Ninety autografts were done in 5 patients with psoriasis. Normal skin could be transplanted to either normal or psoriatic recipient sites without difficulty. Less than 20% of psoriatic plaque transplants were successful. It is postulated that hypermetabolic skin is unusually susceptible to the effects of the temporary anoxia which occurs following grafting and that this accounts for the poor survival noted.
