[Experience with newer psoriasis therapies (author's transl)].

The following treatments for psoriasis are compared with each other: PUVA, UVB, retinoid 10-9359 alone and in combination with 4 mg triamcinolone or UVB. The best results were obtained with UVB alone and with the combination of UVB and retinoid. Based on a survey of various psoriasis therapies during the last 40 years, it is concluded that a final assessment of the value of a new therapy is only possible after some time.

Is mycosis fungoides an "immunoma'?

New knowledge of the function and biological behaviour of the cells of the lymphocytic system justifies a critical reappraisal of the nature and origin of mycosis fungoides (MF). The fact that in MF the immune response remains active during the whole course of the disease distinguishes it from other malignant processes. On the basis of the well-known fact that chronic stimulation of the immunological system may lead to tumour formation, the hypothesis is stressed that MF may be an "immunocytoma' or 'immunoma'. New findings indicate that immunological stimulation of lymphocytes may lead to the formation of endogenous oncogenic viruses. All these questions should be investigated in as many centres as possible.
