摘要 We prospectively asked 146 consecutive patients starting narrow-band UVB (NB-UVB) for psoriasis about the effects of sunlight on their psoriasis.Eighty-eight (60%) patients reported improvementwith sunlight, six(4%) reported worsening, and 52(36%) had not noted any change in their psoriasis with sunlight exposure.Overall, 101 (69%) were recorded to reach clearance or minimal residual activity (MRA), 24(16.5%) to achieve moderate improvement, and 21(14.5%)-had other recorded outcomes (mainly ‘did not attend’), with UVB phototherapy.Forty-two (72%) of the 58 who did not report improvement with sunlight went on to clearance/MRA with UVB compared to 59/88(67%) of those who did report improvement (95%confidence interval for difference in percentage improving, -10%to 20%.P = 0.49).Patientsreplies to questions about how their psoriasis responds to sunlight do not appear to predict response to UVB phototherapy in our patient population.
