100 years of Wood's lamp revised

J L Klatte et al. J Eur Acad Dermatol Venereol. 2015 May.

Abstract

The Wood's lamp is a diagnostic tool in dermatology. Unfortunately, this useful tool is often overlooked in the busy and hectic outdoor dermatology clinic. To emphasize its value in modern dermatology, we present an updated review of the principles and applications and shed new light on its proper place in our practice.
