The starting dose for adults from 15 years old and children less than 15 years old was 200 mJ\/cm2 and 150 mJ\/cm2, respectively, with 50 mJ\/cm2 and 20 mJ\/cm2 dose increments at each subsequent visit, respectively, until mild erythema lasting less than 24 hrs reported by patient, given for a period of 6 months. Response to therapy was assessed based on VASI score changes.\r\nRESULTS: Based upon our results, 38.7% (12\/31) of patients achieved a very good response of more than 50% VASI changes, 41.9% (13\/31) obtained a good response (VASI changed from 25 to 50%). Total good and very good response to therapy significantly increased with prolonged treatment, increasing from 19.4% to 64.5% and 80.6% after 2, 4 and 6 months, respectively. Localised NSV patients obtained good and very good response significantly more frequently than generalised NSV (55.6% versus 18.2%). Adverse effects were minimal, of which one case developed herpes simplex, and 4 cases reported mild photo burn reaction which completely disappeared after adjusting the dose.\r\nCONCLUSION: NB-UVB therapy is an effective and safe tool in the management of Vietnamese vitiligo patients.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3889\/oamjms.2019.068","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,1,29]],"date-time":"2019-01-29T08:43:08Z","timestamp":1548751388000},"page":"256-258","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["The Decline of PUVA Therapy in Vietnam: Effective Treatment of Narrow Band UVB in Vietnamese Vitiligo Patients"],"prefix":"10.3889","volume":"7","author":[{"given":"Hien Do","family":"Thi Thu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Nhung Do","family":"Thi Hong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Thuong","family":"Nguyen Van","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Phuong Pham","family":"Thi Minh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tam","family":"Hoang Van","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Nghi","family":"Dinh Huu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hao","family":"Nguyen Trong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tro","family":"Chau Van","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Trai","family":"Nguyen Ngoc","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Khang","family":"Tran Hau","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Marco","family":"Gandolfi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Francesca","family":"Satolli","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Claudio","family":"Feliciani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Michael","family":"Tirant","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Aleksandra","family":"Vojvodic","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Torello","family":"Lotti","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"52292","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,1,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"62352","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Valle Y, Korobko I, Sigova J, et al.
