Photochemotherapy in Psoriasis Vulgaris : A Simplified Method for Determining the Intensity of Ultraviolet Light

Search this article

Description

We have used high itensity ultraviolet light (black light) and 8-methoxypsoralene to treat psoriasis vulgaris. New ultraviolet lamps steadily decrease in output for the first 100-200 hours, and we have developed a simple method to determine the intensity of UV output before each use which involves exposing color film through a projection print scale for different length of time, then noting the exposure time necessary to render the color film transparent. This will eliminate the need for determining MED for a patient before each treatment while UV energy output of the treatment lamp is decreasing.
