After raising the dose of cyclosporin A to 10 mg/kg a rapid improvement was observed. Subsequently the cyclosporin A and prednisone doses were reduced progressively and a complete cure was achieved after 7 months of treatment. Three years later no relapse has occurred on a maintenance therapy consisting of 3 mg/kg/day of cyclosporin A and 6 mg/day of prednisoneTEXTznanstveno časopisjejournalsSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of SloveniaZdruženje slovenskih dermatovenerologov
