(Pseudomonas) (287-88-H 16th) (312, 326-H17th)WOOD'S LIGHT - A wood's lamp generates 360 nm ultraviolet (or black) light that can be used to aid the evaluation of certain skin disorders- Examples.* Erythrasm caused by corynebacterium minutis-simum) to show characteristic coral red color.* Wound colonized by Pseudomonas to appear pale blue.* T.capitis caused by dermatophytes such as Microsporum canis or M. audouini exhibits a yellow fluorescence* Post inflammatory hyperpigmentation fades under Wood's light.* Vitiligo appears totally white under a Wood's lamp.* A Wood lamp may also aid in the demonstration of tinea versicolor and in recognition of ash led spots with tuberous sclerosis.
