Abstract

Aim: Widely used in many indications in dermatology practice, narrow-band ultraviolet B is a kind of ultraviolet with a wavelength usually condensing at 312nm. Our aim in this study is to introduce our 15-year experience with narrow-band UVB on 205 patients. Materials and Methods: Gender, diagnosis, distribution of lesions, beginning dose, maximum dose, number of sessions, and cumulative dose of patients treated with narrow band UVB were retrospectively studied. Results: The mean age of patients was 37,2 years. 44,4% of the patients was males, 55,6% was females. 34,1% of the patients were diagnosed with psoriasis and 14,6% of the patients with mycosis fungoides. 73,7% of distribution of lesions was diffused, 28% was central, and 26% was peripheral. The mean number of sessions was 27,1 and the mean cumulative dose was 21070 mJ/cm 2 in the first treatment. The mean starting dose was 125,4 mJ/cm 2 and the mean maximum dose was 21070 mJ/cm 2 . Conclusion: Differences between the means of the number of sessions, maximum doses, cumulative doses, and diseases were statistically significant. Key Words: Mycosis Fungoides; Narrow Band UVB; Phototherapy; Psoriasis.

Özet

Amaç: Dermatoloji pratiğinde birçok endikasyonda kullanım alanı bulan dar bant ultraviyole B, dalga boyu genellikle 312nm’de yoğunlaşmış bir ultraviyole B türüdür. Bu çalışmadaki amacımız, 205 hastamızı içeren 15 yıllık dar bant UVB deneyimimizi ortaya koymaktır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Dar bant UVB tedavisi alan hastaların yaşı, cinsiyeti, tanısı, lezyonlarının yerleşim yeri, başlangıç dozu, maksimum dozu, seans sayısı ve toplamda aldığı doz retrospektif olarak değerlendirildi. Bulgular: Hastaların yaş ortalaması 37,2 yıldı. Hastaların %44,4’ü erkek, %55,6’sı kadındı. Hastaların %34,1’i psoriazis ve %14,6’sı mikozis fungoides tanısı almıştı. Lezyonların %73,7’si diffüz, %28’i santral, %26’sı ise periferik yerleşim gösteriyordu. İlk tedavi periyodundaki ortalama seans sayısı 27,1, toplam doz ortalaması ise 21070 mJ/cm2 idi. Başlangıç dozu ortalaması 125,4 mJ/cm2, maksimum doz ortalaması 1463mJ/cm2 olarak saptandı. Sonuç: Hastalıklar ile ortalama seans sayıları, maksimum doz ve toplam doz arasındaki farklar istatiksel olarak anlamlıydı
