Abstract

Pulse immunomodulatory mesotherapy (PIMT) for mild and moderate forms of psoriasis is described. A suspension of a prolonged-acting glucocorticoid in a mini-dose - betamethasone 7 mg (or triamcinolone 40 mg) - is diluted with a saline solution of sodium chloride, 10-15 mg of methotrexate is added as an injection solution, and this mixture of drugs is injected intradermally into the lesions 1 time per month. The effectiveness of PIMT in psoriasis, which is an immune-dependent chronic disease, has been shown. PIMT is a convenient alternative to local corticosteroids - for the treatment of adults, adolescents and partly children. With a mild course of psoriasis, PIMT has a sufficient and pathogenetic effect. Advantages of PIMT: treatment is carried out no more than 1 time per month, simultaneously; the effect is manifested from the first days, stable; relapses become less frequent and weaker; the total dose of glucocorticoid with PIMT is no more (even less) than required with external corticosteroid therapy; the safety of PIMT is ensured by an acceptable fixed dose of the drug and its reliable natural decrease. Quality of life is improving (service and management are higher): the "ointment dependence" has been eliminated, the procedures are rare, not burdensome; temporary disability is reduced, hospitalization is not required. There is an economic benefit.
