摘要
Xeroderma pigmentosum is associated with severe actinic degeneration of the skin. Our patient with xeroderma pigmentosum showed increasing actinic damage in some areas covered by clothes. We therefore performed a complete evaluation of the patient's exposure to ultra-violet radiation. This included transmission measurements of the patient's clothes, glasses, and car windows. The transmission of UVB (280 to 320 nm) by the clothes varied from none to 17.8%. The transmitted UVB radiation was proportional to the clinical manifestations of xeroderma pigmentosum. The patient's wardrobe was changed, and UVA-blocking film was applied to the windows of the car and house. A decline in manifestations was seen after 18 months of improved ultraviolet protection.
