Vitiligo is a common, acquired condition of unknown etiology. The only practical treatment for patients with vitiligo is psoralen ultraviolet A (<jats:sc>puva<\/jats:sc>). NO satisfactory method is available to measure the influence of certain factors on the therapeutic response.<\/jats:p><jats:p> <jats:italic>Methods<\/jats:italic>. Twenty\u2010nine patients with generalized vitiligo were studied for the effectives of <jats:sc>puva<\/jats:sc> therapy. The comparative study revealed the importance of certain variables (i.e., the proper dose of psoralen, the regular attendance of the patient, and the duration of the treatment). A scoring system had been designed and employed to evaluate these factors.<\/jats:p><jats:p> <jats:italic>Results<\/jats:italic>. The follow\u2010up of these patients showed that 18 of the 29 completed their treatment. An almost total improvement was obtained in 67% of these patients within 12 months (range 6\u201318 months). The average number of exposures was 64. A statistically significant difference was obtained between patients with good compliance and those with poor compliance.<\/jats:p><jats:p> <jats:italic>Conclusions<\/jats:italic>. The scoring system is a simple practical measure applicable to patients that proved eventually to be very useful for providing more effective treatment and a good response.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-4362.1995.tb01571.x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,5,31]],"date-time":"2007-05-31T17:04:25Z","timestamp":1180631065000},"page":"206-208","update-policy":"http:\/\/dx.doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["ORAL PHOTOCHEMOTHERAPY IN VITILIGO: FOLLOW\u2010UP, PATIENT COMPLIANCE"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"34","author":[{"given":"MUSTAFA M.","family":"AL\u2010ABOOSI","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"ZUHAIR A.","family":"AJAM","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2007,5,31]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_1_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/jid.1959.49"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_3_2","first-page":"31","article-title":"Vitiligo in Iraq","volume":"35","author":"Sharquie KE","year":"1987","journal-title":"Iraqi Med J"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_4_2","first-page":"138","article-title":"Vitiligo","volume":"13","author":"Sharquie K.","year":"1990","journal-title":"Postgrad Doctor Middle East"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0190-9622(88)70092-4"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/978-1-4615-9272-3"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_7_2","first-page":"1531","article-title":"Photo\u2010chemotherapy of Vitiligo","volume":"112","author":"Parrish JA","year":"1976","journal-title":"Arch Dermatol"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_8_2","first-page":"651","article-title":"A preliminary clinical report on the treatment of leukoderma with ammii majus linn","volume":"31","author":"El Mofty AM","year":"1948","journal-title":"J R Egypt Med Assoc"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_9_2","first-page":"1531","article-title":"Photochemotherapy of vitiligo with oral psoralen and artificially produced UVA","volume":"112","author":"Parrish JA","year":"1976","journal-title":"Arch Dermatol"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_10_2","first-page":"1547","volume-title":"Dermatology in General Medicine","author":"Fitzpatrick TB","year":"1987"}],"container-title":["International Journal of Dermatology"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/api.wiley.com\/onlinelibrary\/tdm\/v1\/articles\/10.1111%2Fj.1365-4362.1995.tb01571.x","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1111\/j.1365-4362.1995.tb01571.x","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2023,9,27]],"date-time":"2023-09-27T20:39:44Z","timestamp":1695847184000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/10.1111\/j.1365-4362.1995.tb01571.x"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[1995,3]]},"references-count":9,"journal-issue":{"issue":"3","published-print":{"date-parts":[[1995,3]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1111\/j.1365-4362.1995.tb01571.x"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1111\/j.1365-4362.1995.tb01571.x","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["0011-9059","1365-4632"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0011-9059","type":"print"},{"value":"1365-4632","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[1995,3]]},"assertion":[{"value":"2007-05-31","order":2,"name":"published","label":"Published","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}}]}}
