Information AboutWood's Lamp |
|
Wood's light is useful in diagnosing conditions such as Tuberous Sclerosis and Erythrasma , both in distinguishing them from other conditions and in locating the precise boundaries of the condition. It is also helpful in diagnosing Fungal Infections ('' Microsporum Audouini ''), Bacterial infections ('' Corynebacteriium Minutissimum '', '' Pseudomonas ''), and pigmentary disorders. Furthermore, a Wood's lamp may be used to rapidly assess whether a subject is suffering from Ethylene Glycol Poisoning as a consequence of Antifreeze ingestion. Manufactures of ethylene glycol containing Antifreezes commonly add Fluorescein , which causes the patient's urine to Fluoresce under Wood's Lamp. SEE ALSO EXTERNAL LINKS |
