    Abstract:
    A trial of dry air effervescent baths and low-temperature peloid applications was made in 109 patients with psoriatic arthritis (PA). Marked response was achieved in patients who had received combined therapy with the above two modalities. The effect presented with lower articular index, weaker skin involvement, improvement of blood picture. These positive changes correlated with normalization of immune indices. The benefit persisted for 6-9 months.
