Keywords:
microbial eczema, phototherapy, immunity, T-lymphocytes, clinical guidelines.Abstract
Analysis of domestic and foreign literature reflects the growing relevance of using phototherapy in dermatological practice. Currently, preference is given to narrow radiation spectra that selectively affect skin structures with minimal side effects. The article describes the direct and indirect antimicrobial properties of narrow-band phototherapy, which allows it to be used as a treatment option for dermatoses in the pathogenesis of which pathogenic microorganisms play an important role.
