It is difficult to manage, and there are no guidelines for treatment. This case study describes the management of a patient with PPG while taking corticosteroids and cyclosporine as chronic therapy for systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). CASE: Mrs. T had SLE and a colostomy and developed PPG that was unresponsive to previous treatment. She was successfully treated with a barrier film, a topical corticosteroid, and an alginate dressing. CONCLUSION: The synergistic use of a barrier film, a topical corticosteroid, and an alginate proved to be effective for the management of PPG lesions in SLE. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
