Özet

Background: Previous reports showed that serum levels of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) are increased in patients with psoriasis. However, to our knowledge, no studies have evaluated the effects of PUVA, Re-PUVA and narrow-band UVB (NB-UVB) treatments on serum levels of VEGF in patients with psoriasis.
