Abstract:Rubella antibody titers were measured in psoriatic patients using the HAH test. Some patients received immuno-suppressive therapy while others did not. The difference between antibody titers in both groups was not significant. Antibody titers in patients with verified rubella did not change after a booster vaccination. These results are discussed in view of Epstein’s assumption of an immunologic block in psoriatic patients. At least, the comparative study of titers in psoriatic patients and healthy subjects do… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
