Abstract
TORINUKI, W. Ultraviolet-B Phototest in Patients with Atopic Dermatitis. Tohoku J. Exp. Med., 1990, 162 (4), 367-368 - To evaluate the possibility of ultraviolet (UV) rays as an aggravating factor of atopic dermatitis (AD), UV-B phototest was performed in patients with AD. Resultingly, minimal erythema doses for UV-B were all within normal range and AD lesions were not reproduced by irradiation. UV-B may not be an important factor for skin aggravation in patients with AD.
