Although NB-UVB was reported to be effective for pediatric-onset KLC, it has not been clear if this regimen is also useful for adult-onset type because pediatr...
متن کاملEvaluation of Efficacy and Safety of Combination of Narrow Band Ultraviolet B and Topical Calcipotriol Versus Narrow Band UVB alone in the Treatment of Vitiligo

But obtaining a precise and reproducible MED is quite difficult because a phototest for erythema is based on subjective assessment. OBJECTIVE The objective of our study was to compare the gross interpretation of a phototest and the object...
متن کاملTreatment of vitiligo with narrow-band UVB and topical gel containing catalase and superoxide dismutase.
Narrow-band UVB has been reported to be efficacious in patients with vitiligo. The epidermis of patients with vitiligo showed reduction in the levels of catalase, in association with high levels of hydrogen peroxidase (H2O2) that is toxic for melanocytes. Based on these findings, we studied the efficacy and safety of a topical gel containing catalase and superoxide dismutase (Vitix) in combinat...
متن کاملNo additional effect of topical calcipotriol on narrow-band UVB phototherapy in patients with generalized vitiligo.
BACKGROUND/PURPOSE There is no definite cure for vitiligo; however, treatment responses with photobiological modalities are quite acceptable. Of all these, narrow-band UVB phototherapy was proposed rather recently. Calcipotriol has been shown to have stimulating activity on melanogenesis besides immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory effects. This study was performed to determine whether adding...
