This article does not contain an abstract and presents no new clinical findings, instead discussing prior cases and literature on infant alopecia universalis and the potential role of topical PUVA therapy.

In this study, combination therapy with cyclosporine and PUVA for severe alopecia areata resulted in a majority of patients showing only fair to poor responses, though some improvements were noted.

This study concluded that topical psoralen and ultraviolet A photochemotherapy is an effective and safe treatment for alopecia areata, as it produced a good response in 43.8% of patients.

This study found that narrowband UVB phototherapy alone is not very effective for severe alopecia areata, with improved responses noted primarily in patients also receiving corticosteroid injections.

This study found that ultraviolet treatment for skin conditions such as vitiligo can damage hair, with psoralen plus ultraviolet A causing more follicle damage than narrow band ultraviolet B.
