Article Synopsis
- * A new guideline developed by various Thai medical associations provides evidence-based recommendations and algorithms to help physicians manage urticaria in both adults and children, emphasizing the importance of accurate diagnosis and treatment strategies.
- * First-line treatment for chronic spontaneous urticaria involves non-sedating H1-antihistamines, with options to increase dosage if necessary; alternative treatments like anti-IgE are available but may be costly, and lifestyle modifications are also suggested to reduce skin sensitivity.

However, very few studies employing broadband UVB exist. Moreover, there has been no direct comparison study between broadband UVB and NB-UVB for the treatment of vitiligo.

Even in Han Chinese, the HLA-B*1502 was not associated with CBZ-induced maculopapular eruptions (MPE). This study seeks to identify whether HLA-B*1502 is associated with CBZ- or phenytoin (PHT)-induced SJS or MPE in a Thai population.

- The study compared the effectiveness of topical cyclosporin and triamcinolone acetonide 0.1% in treating symptomatic oral lichen planus (OLP) in Thai patients.
- While triamcinolone acetonide achieved a 50% rate of complete and partial remission, cyclosporin only had 33.5% partial remission with a high rate of non-responsiveness (66.7%).
- No significant differences were found in pain or clinical response between the two groups, and cyclosporin was associated with several side effects.
Treatment of localized vitiligo with targeted broadband UVB phototherapy: a pilot study.
Photodermatol Photoimmunol Photomed
June 2006
Background: Narrowband ultraviolet B (UVB) phototherapy and 308 nm excimer laser have produced encouraging therapeutic results for vitiligo. Repigmentation of various degrees was obtained in different studies.
Materials And Methods: Twenty-nine vitiliginous lesions from six patients were treated with targeted, broadband UV-B phototherapy.
