VIEW - 2016-03-31 10:38:24 continuing UVB phototherapy after initial clearing contributes to the duration of disease control and is justified for many patients.
Phototherapy using sunburn spectrum ultraviolet radiation (UVB) is now a frequently utilized treatment for psoriasis that is extensive or has not responded to topical preparations. Four university cen...
