  • Title: Photoprotective adaptation in polymorphic light eruption.
    Author: Nozicková M, Ettler K.
    Journal: Sb Ved Pr Lek Fak Karlovy Univerzity Hradci Kralove; 1989; 32(1):33-43. PubMed ID: 2799263.
    Abstract:
    Six patients with polymorphic light eruption were treated with ultraviolet light A (UV-A) for 1-2 months during the spring of 1984 and a follow-up study was carried-out in September 1984. The PLE patients with an UVA - induced skin pigmentation became clearly better or got rid of their symptoms more often than those with "non-adapted" pale skin condition. The good results achieved during and after UV-A phototherapy held during the summer but were lost during the winter. Therefore it became necessary to repeat the photoprotective adaptation each spring.
