| ABSTRACT |
|
Pyoderma gangrenosum (PG), which is frequently associated with systemic diseases such as Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, is a rarely cutaneous lesion. Since it appears through uncontrolled immune or inflammatory reaction, long-term immunomodalatory and immunosuppressive therapy is necessary which increases the risks of infection and sensitivity to irritation. Even though many treatments are introduced, managements of the lesion are still on debate. The authors adopted nanocrystalline silver (Acticoat Absorbent) dressing to treat the PG more delicately. The lesion had a stable progression of healing without any problems. Acticoat Absorbent is a useful dressing material in the treatment and management of irritant sensitive skin lesions which appear in autoimmune diseases. It prevents secondary infection, is less invasive, and furthermore requires less frequent material change thus reducing the patient inconvenience. Therefore, it is thought to be an effective wound management material. (J Korean Wound Management Soc 2009;5:98-101) |
