[A man with fever and a periorbital swelling].

We report a 44-year-old man with a diagnosis of right-sided periorbital cellulitis caused by a group A β-hemolytic streptococcus who developed severe eyelid necrosis. After intravenous antibiotic treatment and necrotomy, reconstructive eyelid surgery was needed.

Narrowband UVB and psoralen-UVA in the treatment of early-stage mycosis fungoides: a retrospective study.

Background: Treatment of early-stage mycosis fungoides (MF) consists of topical steroids, phototherapy (UVB), photochemotherapy (psoralen plus UVA [PUVA]), topical nitrogen mustard, or total skin electron-beam irradiation. It has been reported that the same effective UVB dose is safer than PUVA regarding carcinogenicity and produces fewer side effects. Narrowband UVB (311 nm) results in less irritation and erythema and is more effective compared with broadband UVB.
