“…UV radiation-Narrowband UVB and UVA1 are established modalities of phototherapy for children and adults with AD refractory to topical treatments [94][95][96]. Thus, it is logical that exposure to UV radiation would protect against AD.…”

Introduction-The etiology of atopic dermatitis (AD) is multifactorial with interaction between genetics, immune and environmental factors.Areas covered-We review the role of prenatal exposures, irritants and pruritogens, pathogens, climate factors, including temperature, humidity, ultraviolet radiation, outdoor and indoor air pollutants, tobacco smoke exposure, water hardness, urban vs. rural living, diet, breastfeeding, probiotics and prebiotics on AD.Expert commentary-The increased global prevalence of AD cannot be attributed to genetics alone, suggesting that evolving environmental exposures may trigger and/or flare disease in predisposed individuals. There is a complex interplay between different environmental factors, including individual use of personal care products and exposure to climate, pollution, food and other exogenous factors. Understanding these complex risk factors is crucial to developing targeted interventions to prevent the disease in millions. Moreover, patients require counseling on optimal regimens for minimization of exposure to irritants and pruritogens and other harmful exposures.

Narrowband ultraviolet B (NBUVB) phototherapy is a well-established treatment modality for psoriasis. We performed a retrospective analysis of children of East Asian descent with psoriasis treated with NBUVB phototherapy at the National Skin Centre, Singapore, over a 5-year period between 2004 and 2008 and found that NBUVB phototherapy is safe and effective for the treatment of psoriasis in children of East Asian descent.

ÖzetDeğişik dalga boylarıyla farklı tiplerdeki fototerapi cihazları dermatolojik hastalıkların tedavisinde uzun yıllardır kullanılmaktadır. Geniş-bant Ultraviyole B (UVB), darbant Ultraviyole B (dbUVB), Ultraviyole A1 (UVA1), Psoralen-Ultraviyole A (PUVA) (Psoralen+UVA) ve 308 nm excimer lazer dermatolojide kullanılan fototerapi seçenekleridir. Fototerapi cihaz ve sistemleri tedavinin yan etkilerini azaltmak ve etkinliğini artırmak için sürekli gelişmektedir. Dermatolojik hastalığı olan pediatrik hastalarda özellikle dirençli vitiligo, psoriasis ve atopik dermatit tedavilerinde, fototerapi daha sık kullanılmaktadır. Karsinogenez ve fotoyaşlanma gibi uzun dönem yan etkilerden sakınmak için, erişkinlerden farklı olarak çocuklarda dbUVB, UVA1 gibi daha sınırlı dalga boylarını içeren fototerapi yöntemleri tercih edilmektedir. Fototerapinin etkinlik ve güvenirliğinin ortaya konması için standart fototerapi tedavi protokollerinin uygulandığı çalışmalara ihtiyaç vardır. Sum maryDifferent types of phototherapy devices with various wavelengths are used in the treatment of dermatologic diseases for several decades. Broad-band ultraviolet B (UVB), narrowband ultraviolet B (nbUVB), ultraviolet A1 (UVA1), Psoralen+ultraviolet A (PUVA) and 308 nm excimer laser are treatment options of phototherapy used in dermatology. Phototherapy devices and systems are constantly developing to reduce adverse reactions and increase efficiency of the treatment. Phototherapy is being used more frequently in pediatric patients with dermatologic diseases especially in the treatment of refractory vitiligo, psoriasis and atopic dermatitis. Apart from the adult patients, nbUVB and UVA1, representing the more restricted wavelengths of ultraviolet radiation, are preferred for children to avoid long term side effects like carcinogenesis and photoaging. Studies done with standard phototherapy treatment protocols are needed in order to evaluate the efficiency and safety of phototherapy. (Turk derm 2011; 45

Narrowband ultraviolet B (UVB) phototherapy in children

Abstract: We conclude that narrowband UVB phototherapy is a useful and well-tolerated treatment for children with severe or intractable inflammatory skin disease, but concerns remain regarding long-term side-effects.
