Laboratory investigations in patients with generalized psoriasis under oral retinoid treatment. A multicenter study of computerized data.

Numerous laboratory parameters were examined 235 patients with generalized psoriasis treated orally with retinoid and in 35 patients treated topically with anthralin as control. Computer evaluation of the obtained data revealed statistical trends to elevation of the total serum bilirubin level and increasing number of blood monocytes after long-term oral treatment. No other statistically significant changes of the laboratory data were found. Particularly, the liver function tests (transaminases, prothrombin and alkaline phosphatase) showed no significant alterations. Only in a few cases did the retinoid compound have an influence on the GPT and GOT levels. The reasons for this individual sensitivity to the drug remain unknown. No significant alterations were found in the control group treated topically with anthralin.

[Treatment of pustular psoriasis with a new aromatic retinoid (RO 10-9359). Report on 9 generalized and 8 localized cases (author's transl)].

17 patients with pustular psoriasis, i. e. 9 generalized and 8 localized types, were treated orally with the new aromatic retinoid RO 10-9359. The given dose was 0.5-1.0 mg/kg body weight per day. After 4-8 weeks the result was very good or good in 13 cases. Side effects were moderate; only in one female patient the oral treatment was interrupted because of drug-induced alopecia. Histologic examinations revealed spongiform pustules before treatment and typical features of psoriasis vulgaris after 2 weeks; after 4 weeks most tissue changes had returned to normal. An unusual fine granular mucoid material was seen under the electron microscope in the intercellular spaces of the epidermis, being most likely produced in the keratinocytes.
