We compared the clinical profile and treatment outcomes of 10 adults and five children diagnosed with PL.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Methods\u2002<\/jats:bold> We retrospectively reviewed a series of patients diagnosed with PL at our hospital from 2002 to 2008.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Results\u2002<\/jats:bold> We identified 10 adults and five children (nine adults and four children with pityriasis lichenoides chronica; one adult and one child with pityriasis lichenoides et varioliformis acuta). Mean age of onset of disease was 42.2\u2003years in adults and 12.2\u2003years in children. Median duration of disease before presentation was 5.5\u2003months in adults and 6\u2003months in children. Trunk and limbs were the most common sites of involvement. Itch was present in the majority. Almost all patients did not respond to topical corticosteroids. A good response was seen in three adults and two children treated with oral antibiotics. Three adults and two children responded to treatment with narrow\u2010band ultraviolet B phototherapy. The median time to resolution was 8\u2003months in adults and 21\u2003months in children. Postinflammatory dyspigmentation was seen in six adults and four children.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusion\u2002<\/jats:bold> PL presents similarly in adults and children; however, it runs a longer course in children. In our series, postinflammatory hyperpigmentation was common, which may be explained by our patients\u2019 darker skin phototypes. We routinely prescribe oral antibiotics initially in patients without contraindications. Phototherapy may be useful in patients not responding to antibiotics.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-4632.2012.05608.x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,3,14]],"date-time":"2013-03-14T19:50:51Z","timestamp":1363290651000},"page":"1495-1499","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":15,"title":["Pityriasis lichenoides in an Asian population"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"52","author":[{"given":"Wei\u2010Liang","family":"Koh","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mark Jean\u2010Aan","family":"Koh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yong\u2010Kwang","family":"Tay","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2013,3,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_7_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-2133.2007.08163.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jaad.2006.08.023"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0190-9622(86)70144-8"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0190-9622(90)70243-B"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_6_2","unstructured":"Statistics Singapore \u2013 Census of Population 2010 Statistical Release 1: Demographic Characteristics [WWW document].
