[Induction of subacute cutaneous lupus erythematosus by psoralen UV-A therapy].
We report on a 74-year-old female patient with psoriasis vulgaris who, under PUVA therapy, developed an exanthema with clinical and histological signs of systemic lupus erythematosus. Antibodies to Ro/SSA antigens were not detectable before the onset of the lupus exanthema but showed a high titer afterwards. At that time, we found the typical serological constellation of subacute cutaneous lupus erythematosus.
