Phototherapy is the delivery of treatments in the form of visible or ultraviolet light for the therapeutic care of a patient. Usage of phototherapy in children is affected by limited data in the medical literature, the inability of some children to stand still during the delivery of therapy, parental concerns regarding risks of therapy, and scheduling difficulties. Despite the limitation of data, there are publications in support of usage of phototherapy, especially for psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, and vitiligo in both children and adults. This contribution provides an overview of the utility of phototherapy in skin conditions with a specific focus on the differences that exist in the data on and the delivery of phototherapy for adults and children.
光疗是以可见光或紫外线形式进行治疗，用于患者的治疗护理。儿童光疗的使用受到医学文献数据有限、部分儿童在治疗过程中无法保持静止、家长对治疗风险的担忧以及安排治疗的困难等因素的影响。尽管数据有限，但仍有出版物支持光疗的使用，尤其是在儿童和成人的银屑病、特应性皮炎和白癜风治疗方面。本文献综述了光疗在皮肤疾病中的应用，特别关注成人和儿童光疗数据及治疗方式上存在的差异。
