Narrow-band ultraviolet (UV) phototherapy has not been used in the treatment of lichen nitidus.
To report two cases of generalized lichen nitidus successfully treated with narrow-band UV-B phototherapy.
A 7-year-old girl presented with a persisting, asymptomatic, papular eruption refractory to topical steroid for 3 months. Another 10-year-old boy presented with an asymptomatic papular eruption present for 6 months. The histopathologies of both lesions were consistent with lichen nitidus. The lesions were treated with narrow-band UV-B phototherapy.
The lesions of the patients were almost completely cleared after the 30th and the 17th irradiation, respectively.
Narrow-band UV-B may be an effective alternative therapy for the treatment of generalized lichen nitidus unresponsive to common therapies.
窄谱紫外线(UV)光疗尚未用于光泽苔藓的治疗。
报告两例泛发性光泽苔藓患者成功接受窄谱UV-B光疗的病例。
一名7岁女孩出现持续3个月的无症状丘疹性皮疹,外用糖皮质激素治疗无效。另一名10岁男孩出现无症状丘疹性皮疹6个月。两处皮损的组织病理学均符合光泽苔藓。皮损采用窄谱UV-B光疗。
分别在第30次和第17次照射后,两名患者的皮损几乎完全消退。
窄谱UV-B可能是治疗对常规治疗无反应的泛发性光泽苔藓的一种有效替代疗法。
