title: [UV-A-1 therapy of subacute cutaneous lupus erythematosus].
abstract: Because of relative contraindications to corticosteroid or immunosuppressive treatment, a 71-year-old female patient with subacute cutaneous lupus erythematosus underwent serial whole-body irradiation with extremely long-wave ultraviolet light (UVA-1). The cumulative dosage was 186.1 J/cm2 within 9 weeks. Impressive improvement was achieved with some delay.
