Entry term(s) dermatitis actínica
fotodermatitis
síndrome de reticuloide actínico
Scope note: Respuesta anormal a la luz solar o artificial producida por reactividad extrema de las moléculas que absorben la luz en los tejidos. Se refiere, casi exclusivamente, a la fotosensibilidad cutánea, incluyendo quemaduras solares, reacciones producidas por exposición repetida y prolongada en ausencia de factores fotosensibilizantes y de ciertas enfermedades. Está restringida a los tejidos cutáneos, no incluye la fotosensibilidad del ojo a la luz, como ocurre en la fotofobia o en la epilepsia fotosensible.

Scope note: Abnormal responses to sunlight or artificial light due to extreme reactivity of light-absorbing molecules in tissues. It refers almost exclusively to skin photosensitivity, including sunburn, reactions due to repeated prolonged exposure in the absence of photosensitizing factors, and reactions requiring photosensitizing factors such as photosensitizing agents and certain diseases. With restricted reference to skin tissue, it does not include photosensitivity of the eye to light, as in photophobia or photosensitive epilepsy.
Annotation: a skin disease entity: does not mean sensitivity to light of eye, plants, bacteria, etc. ( = LIGHT)
