Popis: Summary ‘Minutes’ (30 minutes) and ‘short-contact’ (2 hours) therapy with dithranol in Lassar's paste were compared (using a paired comparison method) with the Ingram regime in twenty-one and twelve patients respectively. Both ‘minutes’ and ‘short-contact’ regimes were effective in clearing psoriasis; the latter was the more effective of the two and proved just as good as the standard Ingram regime of 24-hour application. ‘Short-contact’ therapy with dithranol in Lassar's paste should therefore reduce out-patient attendance and time off work, save valuable nursing time and allow a more social life.
