Photodynamic therapy (PDT) utilizes the action of singlet oxygen and free radicals produced by a light-activated photosensitizer to kill viruses, bacteria, or fungi. In this study, the effect of a PDT mediated by methylene blue (MB) in PV was evaluated. Methods: Five women with PV disseminated on the back and diagnosed by fresh microscopic analysis were treated with a solution of MB (2%) applied to the PV lesions for 3 minutes. Next, a red LED lamp (λ = 630±5 nm, 37 J/cm), placed 100 mm from the skin for 10 minutes, was applied on the dyed PV lesions. Six sessions of MB/PDT were implemented with a 2-week interval in between. Wood's lamp examination was used to monitor fungal infection at each time point. Results: Complete cure was observed in the five women at the 4 weeks post-treatment follow-up. Fluoresce images from PV lesions by Wood's lamp allowed to evaluate whether the lesions were healed or not at each time point. No patient showed relapse at the 6-month follow-up. The patients did not have any adverse effect, and good cosmetic outcome was observed. Conclusions: Six sessions of MB/PDT spaced at 14-day intervals are sufficient for the treatment for PV in healthy patients.Spanish Research Projects MINECO.
