[Pyoderma gangrenosum--possible diagnosis in therapy-resistant wounds].
Pyoderma gangrenosum is a chronic ulcerative inflammatory skin disease. The condition is often associated with inflammatory bowel disease. We report three patients with pyoderma gangrenosum successfully treated with cyclosporin. There were difficulties in establishing the diagnosis, and antibiotics, surgical excisions and different wound dressings had been used without effect.
