title: [The successful monotherapy of hypereosinophilic dermatitis with PUVA-bath photochemotherapy].
abstract: A 70-year-old woman with long-standing hypereosinophilic dermatitis improved strikingly with PUVA-bath photochemotherapy. The single UVA doses ranged from 0.3 to 3.3 J/cm2. After 19 treatment sessions pruritus disappeared, and after 32 treatments the erythematous maculae completely cleared. Under continuous treatment three times a week, no relapse has occurred to date. PUVA-bath photochemotherapy seems to be a promising new treatment modality without systemic side effects for patients with hypereosinophilic dermatitis.
