Title: Phototherapy-induced blistering reaction and eruptive melanocytic nevi in a child with transient neonatal porphyrinemia. Author: Karg E, Kovács L, Ignácz F, Varga E, Hocsi M, Szűts P, Kemény L, Bereczki C, Oláh J. Journal: Pediatr Dermatol; 2018 Sep; 35(5):e272-e275. PubMed ID: 29962053. Abstract: Neonatal blue-light phototherapy induced a blistering reaction followed by eruption of melanocytic nevi on the exposed skin surface of a child with transient neonatal porphyrinemia. New nevi are still developing 4 years after the triggering event. The role of phototoxicity-induced epidermal injury, that of porphyrins and the influence of neonatal blue-light therapy, in this unique phenomenon are discussed.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
