ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Systemic PUVA therapy is a widely used method for treatment of vitiligo and psoriasis. However, there have been few studies concerning complications of systemic PUVA therapy.OBJECTIVE:
We examined the dermatologic and ophthalmologic manifestations in patients receiving PUVA therapy.METHOD:
We studied 42 patients who received systemic PUVA therapy for more than six months in our department.RESULTS:
The results are summarized as follows. 1. Among the 42 patients, the number of male and female patients were 18(42.9%) and 24(57.1%) respectively. The mean age at the start of PUVA was 42 years and mean cumulative UVA dase was 996 J/cm2. 2. Among the 42 patients, hyperpigmentation found in 9(21.4%), PUVA lentigo in 8(19.0%), pruritus in 5(11.9%) and burn in 3(7.1%). 3. The ophthalmologic manifestations were conjunctivitis(13 cases, 31.0%), pteygium(7 cases, 16.7%), pingueculum(6 cases, 14.3%) and cataract(3 cases, 7.1%).CONCLUSION:
Long term exposure to PUVA causes chronic clinical side effects of PUVA. Therefore careful follow-up of patients who receive long term PUVA therapy is necessary.
