Abstract

Background and design: There is no definitive treatment but topical steroid creams and antifungal agents, are commonly used to control seborrhoeic dermatitis. Recently it is suggested that topical metronidazole with its anti-inflamatory effects could be useful in seborrheic dermatitis. In this study we aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of topical 0.75 °/o metronidazole gel. Material and Method: Forty patients with seborrheic dermatitis were randomly assigned to two treatment groups. Patients in first group were applied topical 0.75 % metronidazole gel and second group placebo (vehicle gel). Lesions were evaluated with the severity score at 2nd-4th-6th-8th weeks. Results: Thirty-three patients completed the study ( 15 patients in the metronidazole group, 18 patients in the placebo group). One patients in the placebo group, five patients in the metronidazole group left the study because of the side effects. There is no statistically significant difference in the severity score between two groups. Conclusion: In the present study we concluded that the effect of the metronidazole °/o 0.75 gel in the treatment of seborrheic dermatitis was not superior to placebo.

Özet

Seboreik dermatit'in kesin bir tedavisi bulunmamakta birlikte, hastalığın kontrolunde sikhkla topikal steroid ve antifungal ajanlar kullanilmaktadir. Son zamanlarda topikal metronidazolun antiinflamatuar etkilerinden dolayı tedavide bir seçenek olabileceği görüşü ileri sürülmektedir. Biz de çalışmamızda, seboreik dermatitte topikal metronidazolun (o/oO.75) etkisini değerlendirmeyi amaçladık. Seboreik dermatitli 40 hasta, randomize olarak iki gruba ayrıldı. İlk gruba topikal % 0.75 metronidazol jel ve ikinci gruba da topikal taşıyıcı jel (plasebo) günde iki kez uygulanması önerildi. Lezyonlar şiddet skoru He 0-2-4-6 ve 8. haftalarda değerlendirildi. Hastaların 33'u (plasebo grubunda 18, metronidazol grubunda 15 hasta) çalışmayı tamamlayabildi. Çalışmayı tamamlayamayan hastaların 6'sı yan etkiler nedeni ile tedaviyi bıraktı ve bu hastalardan 5'i metronidazol grubunda idi. İki grup arasında 4. hafta ve tedavi sonunda ortalama şiddet skorları arasında fark ol-madığı tespit edildi (p>0.001). Bu çalismada, seboreik dermatit tedavisinde topikal metronidazolun plaseboya bir üstünlüğü olmadığı tespit edilmiştir.
