Abstract
38 patients aged between 2 and 16 years were treated with narrow- band UVA and UVA/UVB, or with a combination of photodynamic therapy + cyclosporin, or with a combination of photodynamic therapy + 8-MOP. All the patients recorded excellent results, without any relapse or side-effect. The combination UVA/UVB turned out to be more effective than just UVA. The combination with cyclosporin allowed us to obtain excellent results in a shorter time and with lower doses of UVA/UVB. The combination with 8-MOP gave less brilliant results, although these results exceeded those obtained with photodynamic therapy only, and were recorded in a shorter time.
