A Case of Hydroa Vacciniforme
|
|
|
|
|
Abstract
|
|
|
Hydroa Vacciniforme is a rare. chronic photosensitive disorder that begins in early childhood, and is characterized by recurrent crops of vesicles on sun-exposed skin and subsequent vacciniform scarring. Phototesting is an important diagnostic
aid.
as
the induction of lesions clinically identical to hydroa vacciniforme can provide a reliable criterion for the diagnosis. Treatment with hydroxychloroquine sulfate may reduce the photosensitivity both to sunlight and artificial UV-A light.
We report herein a case of hydroa vacciniforme in which repetitive exposures to artificial ultraviolet light in the A range reproduced the clinical findings induced by natural sunlight.
