1Department of Dermatology, The General Infirmary, Leeds LS1 3EX, UK.
Abstract:
118 consecutive patients were photopatch tested with 5J UVA and 10mJ UVB. In addition, day 7 readings were taken. Testing with UVB and performing late readings conferred no advantage. The current recommendations of the British Photodermatology Group regarding photopatch testing remain the most recent guide to photopatch test methodology.
