Abstract:
Persistent light reaction, actinic reticuloid, photosensitive eczema are three chronic photodermatoses with a feature of clinical, histological, and photobiologieal characteristics in common. These conditions were given the name of chronic persistent photosensitivity. Chronic persistent photosensitivity with the feature of photosensitive eczema developed in a 68-year-old male patient who had experienced persisited dermatitis. On phototesting the patient showed extremely severe photosensitivity to the short wave UVB. A skin biopsy showed microscopic finding of eczematous dermatitis.
