Pyoderma gangrenosum treated with clofazimine. Report of three cases.
Three cases of pyoderma gangrenosum (PG) responsive to clofazimine are reported. The ulcers were recalcitrant to other forms of therapy, and the patients were incapacitated. Healing began within 2 or 3 weeks. To our knowledge, these are the first reported cases of PG responsive to clofazimine in the United States.
