Task: Answer Verification
Input (English): Question: Does the polymorphous light eruption-severity assessment score reliably predict the results of phototesting?
Answer: We showed that in PLE, disease severity as determined using the PLE-SAS or adjusted PLE-SAS did not reliably predict severity as assessed by phototesting. Two significant contributing questions were not discriminating enough to be used as predicting questions to assess severity. Accurate patient history proved to be a reliable method to diagnose PLE. Phototesting is useful to determine the responsible ultraviolet action spectrum and to exclude differential diagnoses like photosensitive eczema, lupus erythematosus or chronic actinic dermatitis. PLE-SAS cannot replace phototesting for determining the severity of PLE.
Output (English): no
