Acute Polymorphous Light Eruption Presented by: David Elpern MD, Williamstown, MA, USA on July 17, 2001 History : M.R. is a 74-year-old woman who presented with a four day history of a very pruritic eruption on the anterior thighs. [vgrd.org]

A 35-year-old female presented with history of relapsing facial rash and fever since 3 years. The facial lesions progressed through small papules or vesicles before healing with atrophic scars. [academic.oup.com]

The infiltrate was of T cell lineage, confirmed by immunoperoxidase staining, with diffuse expression of CD3 (fig 2B); scattered CD8 positive lymphocytes were present (fig 2C). [bjo.bmj.com]

  Abstract Hydroa Vacciniforme (HV) is a rare, acquired and chronic paediatric disorder that is characterized by photosensitivity and recurrent crops of skin lesions on sun-exposed skin, such as the face, ears and hands that heal with vacciniforme scarring [scopemed.org]

  In phototoxicity, light-absorbing compounds directly generate free radicals and inflammatory mediators, causing tissue damage manifesting as pain and erythema (like sunburn). [msdmanuals.com]
