Results : PASI score were 6.2 on the first visit and three months after it increased to 30 and the patient showed symptoms of erythrodermic psoriasis. And seven months after the first visit, it decreased to 0.6. There was no hepatic and renal toxicity of the treatment. Conclusion : These findings suggest that Traditional Korean Medicine might be effective and safe for the treatment of erythrodermic psoriasis.

임상에서 치료가 어려운 건선을 오래 앓아온 환자가 홍피성 건선이 발생하여 집중적인 입원치료 후 꾸준한 외래진료를 거쳐 호전된 경과를 볼 수 있었기에 보고하는 바이다. 상기 환자는 심장 질환을 동반하고 있었으며 그와 관련된 부종 등의 증상에도 한방치료로 긍정적인 효과를 얻었다. 앞으로 홍피성 건선의 한방치료에 대한 치료의 기준을 마련할 필요가 있을 것으로 생각된다.

Erythrodermic actinic reticuloid (EAR) is a photosensitive disorder characterized by dense lymphocytic infiltration in the sun-exposed areas and an increased number of atypical lymphocytes in the peripheral blood. We have reported 2 patients with EAR with circulating atypical lymphocytes and photosensitivity to both ultraviolet (UV) B and A. Although no clonal proliferation of T-cells was observed in the peripheral blood, CD8+ cells were increased in number in an oligoclonal fashion. A number of proliferating CD8+ cells were small, but most cells expressed bcl-2. These findings suggest EAR is a photosensitivity dermatitis characterized by the overspill of oligoclonal CD8+ lymphocytes responsive to UV irradiation.
