Treatment of gangrenous pioderma with rifampicine.
Abstract
Pyoderma gangrenosum is an entity of unknown etiology, with diverse expressions, mainly on skin. Their differential diagnosis are difficult and broad, and do not have a clear therapy of choice. The response to therapy is variable, with failure in many opportunities. A case of a 40 year old woman with extensive and severe pyoderma gangrenosum having 5 years of evolution is discussed. Her therapy response to multiple medications had been poor but she showed a dramatic answer to rifampicine.Authors
