Abstract

Increased content of pentose in the water-soluble components of psoriasis scales compared to normal skin scales was demonstrated with the orcinol reaction by Gruneberg and Szakall (1) and confirmed by Flesch and Esoda (2) and Wheatley and Farber (3). Similarly, increased pentose in post-sunburn scales was reported by Wheatley and Farber (4). However, Wheatley was unable to identify free pentose using highly sensitive paper chromatographic procedure (3).
