Abstract

We present a prurigo pigmentosa patient with hepatitis C infection. We used topical tetracycline and, both symptoms and lesions improved. Topical tetracycline might be an alternative treatment option in patients systemic treatment is not suitable. To our knowledge, there is no report about a prurigo pigmentosa case treated with topical tetracycline in English literature. More patient reports will contribute the efficacy of this treatment modality.

Özet

Burada lokal tutulum gösteren, hepatit C infeksiyonu olan bir prurigo pigmentosa hastasında topikal tetrasiklin kullanılmış, lezyon ve semptomlarda düzelme sağlanmıştır. Böylece sistemik tedavinin yapılamadığı hastalarda, bu tedavinin bir alternatif olabileceği düşünülebilir. İngiliz literatüründe, prurigo pigmentosada topikal tetrasiklin kullanımı henüz bildirilmemiştir. Elbette, topikal tetrasiklinin daha fazla vakada kullanılması ile elde edilecek veriler daha anlamlı olacaktır.
