| Abstract: | Five patients with resistant psoriasis were treated with plasma exchanges performed ten times over a 4-week period. Improvement was noted after three exchanges in all five. One patient with erythrodermic psoriasis became paler but relapsed 2 days after treatment. Improvement in four patients was of short duration with relapses occurring in 2 to 4 weeks. Circulating immune complexes were elevated before treatment and fell after each exchange by 20 to 70% of the former values. |
