Abstract

Background: The rate of response to cyclosporine A (Cyc-A) treatment in patients with alopecia areata either alone or combined with other medications is rather variable. Design: In this study, the advantages of systemic cyc-A applied et least a 12-month duration compared with systemic corticosteroid treatment and the correlation between the indication and the rate of response to the treatment have been investigated in 27 alopecia areata patients. 0 patients were given cyc-A alone (at dosage of 5 mg/kg/day p.o.) while 17 patients received cyc-A and systemic corticosteroid combination. The indications of cyc-A were ophiasis, frequent relapses and resistance to systemic corticosteroid treatment. Results: Cosmetically acceptable results were observed in 77.8% of patients (21 cases) with cyc-A therapy. New relapses did not occur in 48.1% of cases (13 cases) during this treatment. Initial findings of response to cyc-A were observed in 85.1% of patients after 4 to 21 weeks. Conclusion: It is suggested cyc-A is a convenient treatment modality in patients who have poor prognostic signs and resistant to conventional treatments.

Özet

Alopesi areata tedavisinde sistemik yoldan tek başına veya başka tedavilerle birlikte uygulanan siklosporin (cyc-A) ile elde edilen başarı oranları oldukça değişiktir. Bu çalışmada 27 alopesi areata olgusunda en az 12 ay süreyle kullanılan sistemik cyc-A' in, sistemik kortikoterapiye kıyasla avantajları ve hangi endikasyonlarda tedavi başarısını etkilemekte olduğu araştırılmıştır. Cyc-A oral yoldan 5 mg/kg/gün dozunda 10 hastada tek başına, 17 hastada sistemik kortikoterapiyle birlikte kullanılmıştır. Cyc-A endikasyonları; "ophiasis", sık nevüs veya sistemik kortikoterapiye direnç görülmesi olarak belirlenmiştir. Cyc-A tedavisi ile hastaların %77' sinde (21 olgu) kozmetik iyilik gözlenmiştir ve olguların %48.1' inde (13 olgu) tedavi süresince yeni atak gelişmemiştir. Cyc-A ile ilk iyileşme bulguları hastaların %85.1' inde 4-21 hafta arasında gözlenmiştir. Cyc-A' in konvansiyonel tedaviye dirençli ve kötü prognostik kriter taşıyan hastalarda uygun vir tedavi seçeneği olduğuna karar verilmiştir.
