[Plasmapheresis in dermatology].

Overall 105 patients with different dermatoses were placed under observation. The patients received plasmapheresis (PA) treatment. PA was tolerated well by the majority of the patients, with the method efficacy amounting to 96%. PA eliminated disseminated intravascular coagulation which was initially seen in the majority of the patients, led to the normalization of hemostasis and microcirculation. At the same time PA exerted an immunocorrective action which showed up by a decrease of the most parameters of humoral and cellular immunity, the level of CIC, complement activity with a simultaneous rise of the phagocytic index, which may attest to macrophagal system activation.
