“…Some define CAD as a syndrome 13 including actinic reticuloid, photosensitive eczema, photosensitivity dermatitis, and persistent light reactivity; others distinguish each of these as separate disorders. [14][15][16][17] Neither the Singapore 3 nor the Scandinavian 1 study specified their criteria for diagnosis of CAD. The New York study 2 included 'patients with persistent eczematous eruptions in sun Quinidine bisulfate, amiodarone hydrochloride Angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors Fosinopril sodium exposed areas in the absence of continued exposure to photosensitizers'.…”

In this retrospective study, 81 patients with photosensitivity were referred to the Contact and Occupational Dermatitis Clinic at The Skin and Cancer Foundation Australia, in Sydney, between 1991 and 1999. Photoallergic contact dermatitis (PACD) was diagnosed in 39.5% of patients, with 87.5% of these reactions being to sunscreen chemicals. Polymorphic light eruption (PMLE) accounted for 19.7% of cases, drug photosensitivity 14.8%, and photoaggravated atopic dermatitis and chronic actinic dermatitis (CAD) each constituted 7.4%. Compared with overseas studies, there was a high incidence of PACD, possibly reflecting the referral bias and widespread use of sunscreens. The incidence of PMLE and CAD was less than studies from cooler climates overseas. No cause could be determined for three photosensitive patients.

“…In an analysis of a group of 42 patients, it was reported that photosensitivity induced by ingested drugs did not persist for a period of years after the drug had been discontinued [3]. Therefore, it would be interesting to perform another phototest on this patient several years later to see if persistent photosensitivity to UVB is observed and if the patient develops chronic actinic dermatitis [9]. …”
