title: [Evaluation of the efficacy and toxicity of local fusidic aid versus oral dicloxacillin in infections of the skin].
abstract: In a double-blind test it was shown the efficacy of topical fusidic acid in comparison with oral dicloxacillin, in patients with skin infection by Staphylococcus aureus or/and Streptococcus pyogenes. In the experimental group, 16 patients from 20 received 2% topical fusidic acid in cream and reacted well in a shorter period of time than 17 from a group of 20 that had 500 mg. of dicloxacillin orally twice a day.
