Fusidic acid was assessed for antileprosy activity in nine lepromatous leprosy patients. Patients received fusidic acid at either 500 mg/day for 12 weeks or 750 mg/day for 4 weeks followed by 500 mg/day for 8 weeks. All patients showed time-dependent clinical improvement and decreases in bacillary morphological index, radiorespirometric activity and PCR signal, and in serum phenolic glycolipid I. Fusidic acid appears to be a weakly bactericidal antileprosy agent which may have a role in the multidrug treatment of leprosy pending an evaluation of lepra-reaction-suppressive activity.
对9例瘤型麻风患者评估了夫西地酸的抗麻风活性。患者接受夫西地酸治疗,剂量为每日500毫克,持续12周;或每日750毫克,持续4周,随后每日500毫克,持续8周。所有患者均出现了与时间相关的临床改善,同时细菌形态学指数、放射呼吸测定活性、PCR信号以及血清酚糖脂I均降低。夫西地酸似乎是一种弱杀菌性抗麻风药,在对其麻风反应抑制活性进行评估之前,可能在麻风病的联合化疗中发挥作用。
