A case of recalcitrant dissecting cellulitis of the scalp (DCS) in a 23-year-old male patient was treated with 4 times of topical ALA-PDT at intervals of 10-15 days. The patient responded well without any unbearable adverse effects and presented satisfactory effects. Before applying this therapy, the patient and his doctors had tried other methods, specifically glucocorticoids, intradermal injection, and even surgical treatment, but none of them had presented satisfactory effects. This suggests that topical ALA-PDT could be an effective and safe alternative for DCS patients who are refractory to other standard therapies.
一位 23 岁男性患者患有顽固性头皮解剖蜂窝织炎(DCS),采用 4 次局部 5-氨基酮戊酸光动力疗法(ALA-PDT)治疗,间隔时间为 10-15 天。患者反应良好,无任何难以忍受的不良反应,效果令人满意。在应用这种治疗方法之前,患者及其医生已经尝试了其他方法,特别是糖皮质激素、皮内注射,甚至手术治疗,但都没有取得满意的效果。这表明,对于对其他标准治疗方法无反应的 DCS 患者,局部 5-氨基酮戊酸光动力疗法可能是一种有效且安全的替代方法。
