Experimental Reproduction of Polymorphous Light Eruption: By Potent UVA Irradiating Instrument , Metal Halide Mercury Lamp
Abstract
- We report a case of experimental reproduction of the skin lesion of polymorphous light eruption by potent UVA irradiating instrument, metal halide mercury lamp. A 20-year-old female had complained skin lesion at sun-exposed area since childhood. The skin lesion was reproduced after repetitive exposure of high dose of UVA, and the histologic feaure of the lesion was consistent with polymorphous light eruption. Metal halide mercury lamp used in this patient has hight irradiance and exclusive of UVB and UVC. It can be convenient and precise one in phototest using high doses of UVA.
