Study on rifamycin combined with vacuum-assisted closure for promoting wound healing of ulcerative lymphoid tuberculosis / 重庆医学

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the effect of rifamycin combined vacuum-assisted closure for promoting the wound healing of ulcerative lymphoid tuberculosis .Methods 78 cases of ulcerative lymphoid tuberculosis were randomly divided into the observa-tion group and the control group .The observation group was given rifamycin combined vacuum-assisted closure for treating the wound surface ,while the control group was given rifamycin for dressing change .The area of wound surface was measured before treatment and on 0 ,10 ,20 ,25 ,30 d after treatment .Then the shrinkage rate of wound surface area was calculated .Results During intervention period ,the shrinkage rates of wound surface area at the given time points in the observation group were higher than those in the control group ,the difference showing statistical significance (P<0 .01) .The wound surface in the observation group reached the healing standard on 30 d .Conclusion Rifamycin combined with vacuum-assisted closure can significantly promote the wound healing of ulcerative lymphoid tuberculosis .
