UNASSIGNED: The aim of this study was to assess the effectiveness of MAI in treatment of MC and to compare its response with topical KOH application.
UNASSIGNED: This was an open-labeled longitudinal therapeutic outcome study carried out at a tertiary care center over a period of 1 year.
UNASSIGNED: Hundred consenting MC patients attending the department of dermatology were randomized into Group A and Group B. Group A patients were subjected to MAI and Group B to topical application of 10% KOH.
UNASSIGNED: The continuous variables are presented as mean ± standard deviation (SD). The difference between the mean score was analyzed using Student\'s t test for independent variable and paired t test for paired results.
UNASSIGNED: At the end of 16 weeks, 91.48% showed complete clearance by MAI compared to 81.64% with topical 10% KOH solution. There was a significant reduction of mean score of lesions in patients treated by MAI compared to patients treated with KOH.
UNASSIGNED: MAI therapy provides a promising, easy, cost-effective, daycare option for MC infections.
■本研究的目的是评估MAI治疗MC的有效性,并比较其与局部KOH应用的反应。
■这是一项在三级护理中心进行的为期1年的开放标记的纵向治疗结果研究。
■将参加皮肤科的一百名同意的MC患者随机分为A组和B组。A组患者接受MAI治疗,B组患者局部应用10%KOH。
■连续变量表示为平均值±标准偏差(SD)。使用Student'st检验对自变量进行分析,并使用配对t检验对配对结果进行分析。
■在16周结束时,通过MAI,91.48%显示完全清除率,与局部10%KOH溶液的81.64%相比。与用KOH治疗的患者相比,用MAI治疗的患者的平均病变评分显着降低。
■MAI疗法提供了一种有希望的,easy,成本效益高,MC感染的日托选择。
