Abstract

Background and Objective - PUNCH GRAFTING is a therapy for VITILIGO but, to our knowledge, its combination with outdoor topical psoralen plus ultraviolet A radiation (PUVA) has not yet been studied. This study was designed to evaluate the efficacy of combination of punch graft and outdoor TOPICAL PUVA in recalcitrant VITILIGO. Methods - The study was performed in Razi Hospital, Tehran in 2000. After obtaining informed consent, 20 patients with stable and refractory VITILIGO (4 segmental, 8 focal and 8 generalized) underwent treatment with PUNCH GRAFTING. After 3 months, outdoor TOPICAL PUVA with 8-methoxypsoralen was instituted and continued for a maximum of 4 months. Results - After the 3 months of PUNCH GRAFTING, only nine patients experienced 33 - 66% repigmentation. Four months after starting topical outdoor PUVA, 13 patients experienced 90 - 100% and three patients 25 - 50% repigmentation. One focal and three generalized patients showed no response. Conclusion - The combination of PUNCH GRAFTING and TOPICAL PUVA may be an effective treatment in stable and intractable VITILIGO, especially the segmental and localized types.
