Occupational Ultraviolet Light and Skin Disease: Two Case Reports

Occupational Ultraviolet Light and Skin Disease: Two Case Reports Abstract A case of discoid lupus erythematosus and a case of a polymorphous light eruption are reported. The former was initiated by occupational ultraviolet light exposure. The second case was elicited by occupational exposure in a patient who had a ten-year history of sunlight sensitivity. Occupational exposure to ultraviolet light should be a consideration in light-sensitivity disease especially when the lesion is in an unusual location, as in our first patient, or at an unusual time of the year, as in our second patient.

Abstract

Abstract A case of discoid lupus erythematosus and a case of a polymorphous light eruption are reported. The former was initiated by occupational ultraviolet light exposure. The second case was elicited by occupational exposure in a patient who had a ten-year history of sunlight sensitivity. Occupational exposure to ultraviolet light should be a consideration in light-sensitivity disease especially when the lesion is in an unusual location, as in our first patient, or at an unusual time of the year, as in our second patient.
