One hundred eighty-three patients with psoriasis were treated with UV-B irradiation or oral methoxsalen plus longwave UV light (PUVA). Patients treated with PUVA, in the initial and maintenance period, achieved in general a higher therapeutic score (95% to 100% clearance) than those receiving UV-B therapy. However, taking 80% to 100% improvement as criterion, no difference was found between initial UV-B and PUVA therapy, if less than 50% of the skin surface was affected by psoriasis. If more than 50% of the skin was involved, PUVA was better than UV-B therapy. The maintenance treatment frequency for the UV-B-treated patients for more than a year seemed to be higher than for PUVA-treated patients. A positive correlation was found between response to sunbathing (questionnaire survey) and the response to UV-B phototherapy. An extra UV-B treatment to the leg lesions appeared useless.
183例银屑病患者接受了UV - B照射或口服甲氧沙林加长波紫外线(PUVA)治疗。在初始和维持治疗阶段,接受PUVA治疗的患者总体上比接受UV - B治疗的患者获得了更高的治疗评分(95%至100%清除率)。然而,以改善80%至100%为标准,如果银屑病累及的皮肤面积小于50%,则初始UV - B治疗和PUVA治疗之间没有差异。如果超过50%的皮肤受累,PUVA治疗优于UV - B治疗。UV - B治疗患者超过一年的维持治疗频率似乎高于PUVA治疗患者。通过问卷调查发现晒太阳反应与UV - B光疗反应之间存在正相关。对腿部皮损进行额外的UV - B治疗似乎没有效果。
