Abstract

Background and Design: Despite the development of effective systemic treatments and new biological agents for psoriasis nowadays, topical medications are still the mainstay of treatment. Topical calcineurin inhibitors are currently used in various skin diseases. We investigated the efficacy and safety of tacrolimus, which is an alternative in topical treatment, in comparison with the present medications in plaque psoriasis. Materials and Methods: This prospective double-blind placebo-controlled study was conducted in 24 patients with the diagnosis of plaque psoriasis who were seen in Uludağ University Hospital dermatology outpatient clinic. 0.1% tacrolimus ointment, 0.1% mometasone furoate ointment, 0.005% calcipotriol ointment and placebo in encrypted bottles were randomly applied under occlusion to 27 psoriatic plaques in test chambers, every other day, for a period of 19 days. Clinic sum scores, side effects, and epidermal thickness measured by superficial ultrasound were noted before and after treatment in all microplaques. Besides, histopathologic scoring and epidermal thickness were measured in 9 patients at the end of the study. Results: The clinic sum scores and ultrasonographic epidermal thickness at the end were both significantly lower than the beginning values in all microplaques (p

Özet

Amaç: Günümüzde etkili sistemik tedaviler ve yeni biyolojik ajanlar geliştirilmesine rağmen topikal tedaviler psoriasis tedavisinin halen direğidir. Topikal kalsinörin inhibitörleri bugün pek çok deri hastalığında kullanılmaktadır. Çalışmamızda plak tipi psoriasiste topikal tedavide alternatif bir seçenek olarak takrolimusun mevcut tedavilerle karşılaştırmalı etkinlik ve güvenilirliği araştırılmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Prospektif, çift-kör plasebo kontrollü bu çalışma Uludağ Üniversitesi Hastanesi Dermatoloji polikliniğine başvuran, plak tipi psoriasis tanılı 24 hasta ile yapıldı. Yirmi yedi seçilmiş psoriatik plağa 19 gün boyunca, günaşırı, şifrelenmiş şişelerde %0,1 takrolimus merhemi, %0,1 mometazon furat merhemi, %0,005 kalsipotriol merhemi ve plasebo ayrı ayrı lökotestlerle oklüzyon şeklinde, randomize edilerek uygulandı. Tedavi başlangıcı ve sonunda her bir mikroplakta klinik şiddet skorlaması ve yan etkiler kaydedildi, yüzeyel ultrasonografi ile epidermal kalınlık ölçüldü. Ayrıca tedavi bitiminde 9 hastada mikroplaklardan biyopsi alınarak toplam histopatolojik skor ve epidermal kalınlık hesaplandı. Bulgular: Tüm mikroplaklarda hesaplanan tedavi sonu toplam klinik skor ve ultrasonografik epidermal kalınlık tedavi başlangıcındaki değerlerinden düşüktü (p
