Abstract:
Blisters associated with PUVA treatments are an adverse effect of photochemotherapy that has been reported in the literature. Asymptomatic blisters appear spontaneously mainly on the lower limbs and resolve without treatment. The differential diagnoses to consider include a phototoxic reaction, pseudoporphyria, and PUVA-induced bullous pemphigoid. We describe the clinical and histologic features in 5 cases of blistering secondary to PUVA treatment. If this adverse effect is accurately diagnosed, photochemotherapy need not be interrupted, and unnecessary diagnostic procedures and additional treatments can be avoided.
