- Abstract
The article reports on PUVA-induced bullous peinphigoid. The distribution of lesions in pemphigus erythematosus is ascribed to the adverse effect of sunlight on this type of pemphigus. It has been shown that a positive Nikoisky-sign could be provoked by exposure to an erythemaeproducing dose of UV-light. UV-light of wave lengths shorter than 320 mm applied to the normal skin of six patients, four with pemphigus vulgaris and two with bullous pemphigoid, produced fresh histological and immunohistochemical changes in the irradiated sites.
