Zusammenfassung

Pyoderma gangraenosum (PG), eine seltene, ulzerierende Hauterkrankung, ist wahrscheinlich durch vaskulitische Prozesse verursacht. In ca. 20 bis 70% der Fälle ist PG mit einer Grunderkrankung assoziiert, am häufigsten mit chronisch-entzündlichen Darmerkrankungen und Erkrankungen des rheumatischen oder hämatologischen Formenkreises. PG kommt auch posttraumatisch als Pathergiephänomen vor.

Der größte Teil der verschiedenen Therapieansätze bei Pyoderma gangraenosum beruht auf systemischer Gabe von Immunsuppressiva. Wir berichten über unsere Therapieerfahrungen mit topischer Applikation von Cyclosporin-A-Lösung.

Summary

Pyoderma gangrenosum (PG) is a rare, ulcerative skin disease, probably caused by vasculitic processes. In 20 to 70% of cases, it is associated with an underlying disease, most commonly inflammatory bowel disease, rheumatological or haematological disease. Additionally, PG occurs in connection with traumatic events. The majority of the numerous concepts known to treat pyoderma gangrenosum include systemic application of immunosuppressants. We report on a two year experience in the treatment of PG with locally applied cyclosporine A solution.

Résumé

Le pyoderma gangrenosum (PG) est une dermatose ulcérative rare, vraisemblablement provoquée par un processus de vascularite. Dans 20 à 70% des cas, PG est associé à des pathologies sous-jacentes, qui sont le plus souvent des maladies inflammatoires chroniques de l’intestin, des rhumatismes inflammatoires ou des affections hématologiques. Par ailleurs, des cas de PG posttraumatiques sont également rapportés.

La majorité des nombreux concepts connus pour traiter pyoderma gangrenosum comprennent l’application systémique d’immunosuppresseurs. Nous décrivons une expérience de deux ans dans le traitement de PG par une solution de ciclosporine A, utilisée en application locale.
