Overview

The article provides an overview of therapeutic apheresis methods treatment options in dermatology. Therapeutic apheresis has been successfully used in severe autoimmune bullous disease, especially immunoadsorption in pemphigus vulgaris and epidermolysis bullosa acquisita. The reduction of the IgE level in severe atopic dermatitis has been a new indication. Extracorporeal photochemotherapy is an important method in the treatment of skin T lymphomas. Cytapheresis has been tested in psoriasis. The experience with these methods in dermatologic diseases in the Czech Republic is limited.

Keywords:

atopic dermatitis – therapeutic apheresis – immunoadsorption – photochemotherapy – pemphigus – pemphigoid
