Abstract
A lapel badge dosimeter sensitive to short wave UV radiation was used in a preliminary trial to survey photosensitivity in psychiatric patients on phenothiazine therapy. The badge was easy to use, and chlorpromazine apparently is more photosensitizing than other phenothiazines.This publication has 7 references indexed in Scilit:
