BACKGROUND/PURPOSE: Narrowband (NB) UVB (NB-UVB) phototherapy has recently demonstrated high levels of efficacy and tolerability in a variety of skin diseases. The purpose of the present study was to assess the efficacy of NB-UVB phototherapy in the management of pityriasis lichenoides (PL).
The therapeutic response in 31 PL patients (23 pityriasis lichenoides et varioliformis acuta; PLEVA, eight pityriasis lichenoides chronica; PLC) treated with NB-UVB phototherapy between 2000 and 2007 was assessed.
NB-UVB treatment led to a complete response (CR) in 15 out of 23 PLEVA patients (65.2%) with a mean cumulative dose of 23 J/cm(2) after a mean number of 43.4 exposures and a partial response (PR) in eight patients (34.8%) with a cumulative dose of 15.6 J/cm(2) after a mean number of 32.3 exposures. NB-UVB treatment led to CR in seven out of eight PLC patients (87.5%) with a mean cumulative dose of 18.4 J/cm(2) after a mean number of 45.8 exposures and PR in one patient (12.5%) with a cumulative dose of 9.1 J/cm(2) after a mean number of 19 exposures. Relapses occurred in four PL patients within a mean time period of 6 months.
NB-UVB therapy is an effective, safe and practical alternative treatment modality for the management of PLEVA and PLC.
背景/目的:窄谱(NB)中波紫外线(NB-UVB)光疗最近已在多种皮肤病中显示出高度的疗效和耐受性。本研究的目的是评估NB-UVB光疗在治疗点滴状类银屑病(PL)中的疗效。
评估了2000年至2007年间接受NB-UVB光疗的31例PL患者(23例急性点滴状类银屑病;PLEVA,8例慢性点滴状类银屑病;PLC)的治疗反应。
NB-UVB治疗使23例PLEVA患者中的15例(65.2%)完全缓解(CR),平均累积剂量为23 J/cm²,平均照射次数为43.4次;8例患者(34.8%)部分缓解(PR),累积剂量为15.6 J/cm²,平均照射次数为32.3次。NB-UVB治疗使8例PLC患者中的7例(87.5%)完全缓解,平均累积剂量为18.4 J/cm²,平均照射次数为45.8次;1例患者(12.5%)部分缓解,累积剂量为9.1 J/cm²,平均照射次数为19次。4例PL患者在平均6个月的时间内复发。
NB-UVB疗法是治疗PLEVA和PLC的一种有效、安全且实用的替代治疗方式。
