[PUVA therapy in persistent light reaction]
Abstract
The diagnostic procedure in two patients suffering from persistent light reaction is described. In addition a modification of standard 8-methoxypsoralen-UVA (PUVA) schedule is presented which is necessary because of the extreme sensitivity to UV electromagnetic wave lengths in this photodermatosis. Both patients were able, for the first time in 8 years, to resume normal outdoor activities.
