[The testing of photochemotherapy in various dermatoses].

Abstract

Experimental PUVA therapy in five different skin diseases showed excellent results in lichen planus and pityriasis lichenoides et varioliformis. Present experience indicates a favourable influence of PUVA also in pityriasis rubra pilaris and in lymphomatoid papulosis. In Darier's disease PUVA leads to acute exacerbation.
