  • Title: 311 nm UVB phototherapy--an effective treatment for psoriasis.
    Author: Green C, Ferguson J, Lakshmipathi T, Johnson BE.
    Journal: Br J Dermatol; 1988 Dec; 119(6):691-6. PubMed ID: 3203066.
    Abstract:
    Fifty two psoriatic patients were treated with a new experimental fluorescent lamp (Philips TL-01) emitting a narrow band at 311 +/- 2 nm (UVB) which had the advantage of a reduction in burning and carcinogenic wavelengths when compared with conventional broad band UVB therapy. Results of the '311' treated group when compared with broad band UVB therapy revealed a similar percentage of patients achieving a satisfactory response with fewer burning episodes and an increase in duration of remission.
