Abstract

Background and Design: Recently, narrow-band ultraviolet (UV) B phototherapy has been reported to be an effective and safe theraphy for vitiligo. The aim of this study is to review our results with narrow-band UVB phototherapy for vitiligo. MATERIAL-METHODS: Twentyfive patients with vitiligo who were treated in our phototheraphy unit between January 2004 and March 2005 were enrolled consecutively in this study. Theraphy was given as monotherapy thrice weekly. The initial UVB dosage was determined before the treatment according to the minimal erythema dosages per patient. UVB dose increments were regulated with regard to the schedule applied in our clinic. Repigmentation of the lesions more than 75% was regarded as complete response, 25-50%: partial response and 0-24%: no response. RESULTS: Twenty patients 10 women, 10 men, ranged 12-78 year (mean, 32 years) were completed the therapy. Their duration of the disease ranged from 1-40 years (mean, 8 years). Nine of the 20 patients (45%) had complete response with mean of 48 treatments and mean of 25 J/cm2 cumulative dosages. Two (10%) patients had partial repigmentation and 9 (45%) patients had no response, after 60 treatments. Mild erythema had been observed in 2 patients. CONCLUSION: Our results have shown that narrow-band UVB phototherapy is well-tolerated, but less effective than previous studies.

Özet

AMAÇ: Son yıllarda yapılan çalışmalarda vitiligoda dar-band UVB tedavisinin etkili ve güvenli olduğu bildirilmektedir. Bu çalışmada, vitiligoda dar-band UVB tedavisine ait sonuçlarımız sunulmuştur. GEREÇ-YÖNTEM: Çalışmaya Ocak 2004 ile Mart 2005 arasında Fototerapi Ünitemizde dar-band UVB tedavisi uygulanan ardışık 25 vitiligolu hasta alınmıştır. Tedavi, haftada 3 kez monoterapi olarak uygulanmıştır. Başlangıç UVB dozu her hastada minimal eritem dozuna (MED) göre saptandı. UVB doz artımı kliniğimiz doz arttırım çizelgesine göre yapıldı. Lezyonlarda %75 ve üzeri repigmentasyon tam yanıt, %25-50 oranında kısmi yanıt ve %0-24 repigmentasyon yanıtsız olarak değerlendirildi. SONUÇLAR: Tedaviyi tamamlayan 20 hastanın 10'u kadın, 10'u erkek idi; yaşları 12-78 yıl (ortalama, 32 yıl) arasında değişmekteydi. Hastalık süreleri 1-40 yıl arasında değişmekteydi (ortalama 8 yıl). Dokuz (%45) hastada ortalama 48 seans ve 25 J/cm2 kümülatif dozda tam yanıt saptandı. Altmış seans sonunda iki hastada (%10) kısmi yanıt elde edildi. Dokuz (%45) hasta ise yanıtsız olarak değerlendirildi. Tedavi sırasında, 2 olguda hafif eritem gözlendi. YORUM: Sonuçlarımız dar-band UVB tedavisinin iyi tolere edilen bir tedavi olduğu ancak önceki çalışmalara göre daha az etkili olduğunu göstermektedir.
