Alcohol consumption and psoriasis.

A study has been undertaken of the relationship between the severity of psoriasis and alcohol consumption in 100 patients with chronic plaque psoriasis. In male patients, heavy drinking, at a level liable to be detrimental to health, was found significantly more commonly in those with severe psoriasis, and alcohol-related medical or social problems were frequent. By contrast alcohol excess and alcohol-related problems were significantly less common in women irrespective of the severity of their psoriasis.

Toxicologic study of anthralin in an aqueous cream formulation.

A group of forty-eight patients with psoriasis who were being treated with anthralin cream were examined for side effects. Based on the variables investigated, there was no evidence of any systemic toxicity or excretion of anthraquinones (detection limit 20 micrograms/ml), while clinically, patients were seen to respond satisfactorily.
