Nine patients with recalcitrant and long-standing psoriasis were treated over a period of 28 days with 2 mg Peptide T iv, once daily (22-34 micrograms/kg bodyweight). Eight of them showed an improvement of less than 50% by day 28 and one deteriorated. The patients were evaluated for a further 3 months when no topical or systemic treatment was given. Five patients recovered by more than 50%, during the months following termination of the therapy. Two patterns of healing were noted: firstly, a steady clearance beginning immediately with the Peptide T infusions; secondly, a clearance pattern preceded by deterioration. No serious side effects were noted.
