BATH-PUVA THERAPY IN GENERALIZED GRANULOM A ANULARE

A 56-year-old female patient with generalized granuloma anulare was tr eated with bath-PUVA therapy with 8-methoxypsoralen. Her diabetes mell itus renal insufficiency excluded oral photochemotherapy, A series of 30 treatments resulted in complete disappearance of the lesions on the trunk and neck and significant improvement of those on the limbs. No side-effects were observed. Bath-PUVA therapy seems to have positive e ffects not only on epidermal, but also on dermal processes.
