Abstract
Ultraviolet (UV) therapy is an effective and well-tolerated therapeutic method for various dermatologic conditions due to its antiproliferative and immunosuppressive effects. Contemporary phototherapy includes broadband UVB, narrowband UVB, UVA1, PUVA, and excimer laser therapy. The coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic has resulted in the closure of many patient care facilities, including phototherapy units worldwide. Home phototherapy, thalassotherapy, and other UV therapy modalities are an alternative for many patients with chronic dermatoses.We highlighted possible interactions of UV therapy effects and the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic, and focused on organization and measures against transmission of infections in phototherapy units. Dermatology departments have reopened their units, assessing the risks and benefits for patients, optimizing safety regulations, and adhering to the rules for disinfection.
