Phototherapies for erythema multiforme secondary to viral infections: A case report of a child

Photobiomodulation Therapy for Multiple Painful Fixed Drug Eruptions: The First Case Report

“…The general benefits of PBMT are largely described in the literature. It is considered a conservative, safe, painless, and low-cost treatment option 12 due to its capacity for modulating some events of the inflammatory response, mitigating pain, and promoting healing. 9,13 In Dermatology, laser therapy has long been used for aesthetic purposes but its anti-inflammatory effects have recently gained attention -especially for immunemediated cutaneous diseases.…”

Virtual screening and computational simulation analysis of antimicrobial photodynamic therapy using propolis-benzofuran A to control of Monkeypox

“…One of the approaches used to control the Monkeypox virus can be antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT). According to the literature, there are several in vitro studies and clinical trials of systemic and topical aPDT as a treatment approach and adjuvant therapy for various viral infections [6] , [7] , [8] , [9] , [10] . aPDT involves a synergic association of a non-toxic dye called a photosensitizer, visible light with a specific wavelength, and oxygen, which can produce reactive oxygen species (ROS), causing irreversible damage to the lipid or protein-membrane structures of the viral envelope, even nucleic acid, without damaging the surrounding tissue [11] , [12] , [13] .…”

Natural photosensitizers potentiate the targeted antimicrobial photodynamic therapy as the Monkeypox virus entry inhibitors: An in silico approach

“…aPDT can be an efficient approach to dealing with the Monkeypox virus. The use of aPDT, which combines light and a photosensitizing substance to kill microorganisms, is advocated as a complementary treatment for various viral infections [17] , [18] , [19] , [20] , [21] , [22] . Natural products have gained major interest among scientists as photosensitizers due to their unique chemical structures and properties.…”
