Treatment of small plaque parapsoriasis with narrow-band (311 nm) ultraviolet B: a retrospective study.
Clinical and Experimental Dermatology 2005 July
Narrow band (311 nm) ultraviolet B (NB-UVB) has been shown to be a safe and effective treatment for psoriasis and other inflammatory skin diseases. We have therefore employed NB-UVB in the treatment of small plaque parapsoriasis (SPP) since 1996. All patients (16/16) responded with complete remission of the disease after a mean number of 32.8 exposures and a mean total dose of 35.4 J/cm2. Unwanted side-effects were rare (3.3%) and always mild. Relapse of the disease occurred after an average of 29 weeks in those patients who came for follow-up visits. Therefore, NB-UVB is an effective, comparably safe and convenient alternative to psoralen and ultraviolet A therapy or other treatment modalities in the suppression of SPP.
