| Abstract: | 16 patients with cutaneous sarcoidosis were treated intermittently over a period of 6 months with levamisole in an open study. The skin lesions cleared in 2 of 13 patients completing the course of treatment. Aggravation of the sarcoidosis was noted in 2 other patients after a few weeks of treatment. Tuberculin sensitivity did not increase during the treatment period. Dinitrochlorobenzene sensitivity increased in 5 patients but the lesions did not clear in any of these patients. It is concluded that levamisole is not useful in the treatment of cutaneous sarcoidosis. |
