[Effectiveness of complex therapy using ericyclin in patients with chronic pyoderma (5-year catamnestic data)].
The remote results of combined therapy of 300 patients with chronic pyoderma were estimated by the data of the 5-year catamneses. The patients were treated with the use of erycycline, a combined drug consisting of two antibiotics made in the USSR. Stable clinical recovery within 5 years was stated in 78.8 per cent of the patients. Significant improvement (single pustules 2-3 years after discontinuation of the treatment) was registered in 13.7 per cent of the patients. Improvement (insignificant relapses within the first 2 years) was stated in 6.3 per cent of the patients. No effect of the combined therapy was stated in 1.2 per cent of the patients. It was shown that the use of erycycline in the combined therapy of the patients with chronic pyoderma provided its high efficacy, favourable immediate and remote results, decreasing the treatment period at the average by 3.8 days and decreasing the number of relapses. It also provided economy. The analysis of the catamneses promoted critical and objective estimation of the treatment results and stability of the therapeutic remission thus facilitating solution of the problem of treatment and prophylaxis of chronic pyoderma.
