Abstract

We treated 23 refactory cases of psoriasis vulgaris with narrow-band UVB (311 nm) therapy using TL01 lamps. The standard regimen for narrow-band UVB which is popular in European countries was used in this study. The in-patients were treated 5 times a week, and one out-patient was treated 3 times a week. Excellent or good effects were achieved in 82.6% of the patients. The remission rate was 65.2% (15 cases). Three patients developed photo-Köbner’s phenomenon during the treatments and were withdrawn. None of the patients had severe acute side effects, such as bullous formation. Narrow-band UVB therapy was found to be highly effective for patients with refractory psoriasis resistant to standard topical treatments and PUVA therapy.
