Photosensitivity disorders in children
Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology, 2012 Photosensitivity disorders in children encompass a diverse group of diseases. Compared to adult patients, underlying systemic disorders, including genetic or metabolic defects, are common causes in pediatric photosensitivity disorders. Photosensitivity in a child should be suspected if the child develops a sunburn reaction in sun-exposed sites after ...

Update on pediatric photosensitivity disorders
Current Opinion in Pediatrics, 2013 Although rare in the pediatric population, photosensitive dermatoses may begin prior to adulthood. The causes of photosensitivity are diverse, ranging from primary, immunologically mediated disorders of photosensitivity to inherited genetic or metabolic disorders.

American Journal of Clinical Dermatology, 2002 Abnormal photosensitivity syndromes form a significant and common group of skin diseases. They include primary (idiopathic) photodermatoses such as polymorphic light eruption (PLE), chronic actinic dermatitis (CAD), actinic prurigo, hydroa vacciniforme and solar urticaria, in addition to drug- and chemical-induced photosensitivity and photo-exacerbated

A review of UVA-mediated photosensitivity disorders
Photochemical & Photobiological Sciences, 2012 A number of skin conditions are characterised by photosensitivity to UVA. Some of these are exclusively UVA-mediated conditions, while others include UVA in the action spectrum which also include UVB and/or visible light. This review aims to describe this diverse range of conditions for non-dermatologist scientists with an interest in this topic.

The impact of photosensitivity disorders on aspects of lifestyle
British Journal of Dermatology, 2010 Photosensitivity disorders involve an abnormal skin reaction to sunlight exposure and affect a substantial percentage of the population. No previous studies have directly compared lifestyle attributes between photosensitive and healthy individuals.To assess the impact of photosensitivity on time spent outdoors in the U.K., holiday behaviour, use of ...

Pediatric Photosensitivity Disorders
Dermatologic Clinics, 1998 Photosensitivity disorders in childhood are rare, with the notable exception of overexposure as sunburn, and therefore require a more circumspect approach. Practitioners who treat children are key players in identifying and managing the many photosensitivity disorders that rarely present in childhood.

A review of UVB-mediated photosensitivity disorders
Photochemical & Photobiological Sciences, 2012 Photosensitivity to UVB is a prominent feature of a small number of congenital skin disorders. In addition UVB may also contribute to the action spectrum of a number of acquired photosensitivity syndromes. The gene mutations underlying the genetically inherited disorders have largely been identified and have provided insights into DNA repair pathways ...

Disorders with Photosensitivity
, 1979 In 1954 Bloom [1] described this very rare syndrome with “three cardinal features” [2] : congenital facial telangiectatic erythema, sensitivity to sunlight, and stunted growth.

Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology, 2002 Over the past 15 years Punta Arenas, Chile, a medium-sized city located on the extreme southern tip of South America, has repeatedly been exposed to acute, sudden episodes of highly increased levels of ultraviolet B (UVB) 280-320 nm radiation because of the passage of the spring Antarctic "Ozone Hole" overhead, or nearby.Our purpose was to observe the ...
