title: [Actinoreticulosis with dyschromic changes in high altitude polycythemia].
abstract: A review of all aspects of actinoreticulosis is made, a photodermatosis which is relatively frequent on the Bolivian Altiplano. One case is described which is peculiar because of the vitiligoid and lichenoid aspect of the skin lesions and because of its association with high altitude polycythemia. The influence of high altitude on the pathogenesis of both forms by decrease of the oxygen partial pressure and the exposure to ultraviolet radiation of higher intensity is commented.
