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.

PEDIATRIC PHOTOSENSITIVITY DISORDERS

Dermatologic Clinics, 1998
Physicians who serve the pediatric population are the first line in identification and management of photosensitivity disorders present in childhood.

A review of UVA-mediated photosensitivity disorders

Photochemical & Photobiological Sciences, 2011
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.

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 ...

The impact of photosensitivity disorders on aspects of lifestyle

The British journal of dermatology, 2010

Photosensitivity 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
