Influence of narrow-band UVB phototherapy on cutaneous microbiota of children with atopic dermatitis

Objective In the present work, the effect of narrow‐band ultraviolet B (UVB) phototherapy on a cutaneous microbial population was evaluated in patients with atopic dermatitis (AD) and compared with control patients (vitiligo). Methods Count, isolation and identification of cutaneous microbiota fro...

Zusammenfassung:	Objective In the present work, the effect of narrow‐band ultraviolet B (UVB) phototherapy on a cutaneous microbial population was evaluated in patients with atopic dermatitis (AD) and compared with control patients (vitiligo). Methods Count, isolation and identification of cutaneous microbiota from anticubital fossa were performed in 10 controls and 10 AD patients, both submitted to similar levels (P > 0.05) of UVB phototherapy (4.3 ± 0.9 and 4.3 ± 0.8 accumulated joules, respectively). Additionally, Staphylococcus aureus isolates were screened for the production of exotoxins. Results The total and staphylococcal cutaneous microbial population levels were higher (P
