Three patients with parapsoriasis en plaques (PEP), fifteen with mycosis fungoides (MF), and one with Sézary's syndrome (SS) were given a bath to which a small amount of trioxsalen solution had been added, and then exposed to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from a bank of dysprosium lamps. Within 2--6 months of this treatment the skin lesions healed completely or almost completely in all 3 patients with PEP, in all 7 with MF stage II and in 4 of 5 with MF stage III. Two patients with MF stages IV--V showed a fair degree of improvement. One with erythrodermic form of MF responded, but poorly. The patient with SS and the one with erythrodermic MF responded with severe phototoxic reactions.Downloads
