ERYTHROMYCIN OINTMENT IN THE TREATMENT OF THE PYODERMAS

[摘要] Seventy patients with various dermatoses were treated with 1% erythromycin ointment. 47 cases had a primary pyoderma, and 23 had other dermatoses complicated by secondary pyogenic infection. Erythromycin ointment (1%) caused rapid involution of the pyodermas; 1% erythromycin ointment caused rapid eradication of secondary pyogenic infection complicating dermatoses, but had no beneficial effect on the primary eruption. No reactions of sensitivity due to 1% erythromycin ointment were encountered.
