Abstract
Four of ten patients with alopecia areata (plaque and totalis types) showed some regrowth of hair after PUVA therapy using a light box with peak emission 365 nm. Because PUVA may have long term side effects, this therapy should be reserved for patients resistant to other treatments.Keywords
