Abstract
Background : Currently, the topical antibiotics used successfully in acne are erythromycin, tetracycline, and clidamycin. Among them, clindamycin is believed to be the most effective topical antibiotics for acne but side effects, such as contact dermatitis and pseudomembranous colitis have been reported. Method : Sixty patients with comparable baseline pustule and papule counts applied quinolone derivative twice daily far 4 weeks. Every week lesions were counted and patients' evaluation of their acne conditions were scored. Results : Total number of the lesions decreased significantly from 3 weeks and the percentage decrease at 4 weeks after treatment was 52.5%. Papules and pustules were rapidly eliminated ; the percentage decrease at 4 weeks after treatment were 88.4% and 95.7%, respectively. Closed and open comedones were gradually eliminated ; the percentage decrease at 4 weeks after treatment were 16.5% and 10.5%, respectively. Three patients complained of discomfort due to mild pruritus, which were tolerable without taking any specific measures or discontinuance of application. In one case, contact dermatitis developed after 2 weeks treatment. Conclusion : Topical quinolone derivative is believed to be a very effective local therapeutic agent in the treatment of acne vulgaris, especially on inflammatory lesions such as papules and pustules. Better controlled, long-term studies would be necessary to establish adequate therapeutic period and we are considering extending therapeutic applications to other infectious dermatoses.
연구배경 : Tetracycline(TC), Erythromycin(EM), clindamycin(Cd) 등이 염증이 심한 농포성 여드름에 대한 내복요법으로 주로 사용되어 왔지만 전신투여에 의한 여러 부작용이 문제가 되어 Cd, TC, EM 등의 항생제 국소도포가 추천되고 있으며, Cd가 임상적 관찰로서 심상성 좌창의 치료에 가장 좋은 국소도포용 항생제라고 보고된 바 있다. 그러나 Cd의 국소도포에 의한 접촉성 피부염이나 위막양 장염이 보고되어 부작용에 대한 주의를 환기시켰다. 방법 : 중등도의 염증성 피진을 10개 이상 가지고 있고 4주간 추적관찰이 가능했던 심상성 좌창 60명을 대상으로 네오-비샤쥬 크림을 하루에 아침, 저녁 2회 비누 세안 후 30분후에 도포하도록 하였다. 관찰방법은 가로 및 세로 각각
