Subacute cutaneous lupus erythematosus during PUVA therapy for psoriasis: case report and review of the literature

M J Dowdy et al. Arthritis Rheum. 1989 Mar.

Abstract

Lesions typical of subacute cutaneous lupus erythematosus developed in an elderly woman after 6 months of PUVA (8-methoxypsoralen and longwave ultraviolet light) therapy for psoriasis. Pancytopenia, antibodies to double-stranded DNA, and hypocomplementemia developed concurrently with the appearance of the cutaneous lesions. With discontinuation of photochemotherapy, the cutaneous lesions disappeared and the pancytopenia improved.
