We compare observed ultraviolet and visible flux distributions, for a sample of A-type stars, with computed fluxes obtained with version 9 of the ATLAS code (Kurucz, 1970) in order to asses the impact of reddening. We also make a comparison between determinations of reddening from UV colour indices and visible wide band (Johnson) and intermediate band (Strömgren) colour indices. We discuss the implications on the study of slightly reddened high galactic latitude stars.
