Zusammenfassung

Am Beispiel der Lichturtikaria wird gezeigt, welche Möglichkeiten der Diagnostik von seltenen Lichtdermatosen zur Verfügung stehen und wie den Patienten durch Prophylaxe und Therapie geholfen werden kann. Die Wahrnehmung dieser Aufgaben erfordert Spezialkenntnisse sowie Erfahrung, verbunden mit einem besonderen apparativen und personellen Aufwand. Deshalb wurde eine Liste der deutschsprachigen Hautkliniken mit photodiagnostischem Schwerpunkt sowie der verantwortlichen Ansprechpartner zusammengestellt.

Abstract

Solar urticaria serves as a model to illustrate the photodiagnostic approach in rare photodermatoses and to demonstrate how patients can be effectively helped by prophylactic and therapeutic intervention. To accomplish these tasks, advanced knowledge and experience in photodermatology is required, along with equipment which is often available in specialized centers only. A list is attached listing the dermatology departments with photodiagnostic units in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland.
