During the years 1975 to 1993 a total of 192 patients from Copenhagen with psoriasis, were sent to the Dead Sea, Israel, for a four week treatment of sun exposure and bathing. Total or almost total remission was obtained in 73% and significant improvement in 20% of the 163 patients at the post-treatment hospital control. A patient questionnaire filled in by 233 patients at the treatment centres in 1989-1991 showed that 88% of the patients were very satisfied with their stay. The length of remission was one to three months for 55% of the patients. Climate therapy is a valuable alternative treatment with an efficacy comparable to topical treatments for psoriasis.
