ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Superficial bacterial infection is among the most common reasons for dermatologic consult. Numerous published articles suggest that the dried leaf of malunggay exhibits antibacterial property.OBJECTIVES:
To compare the effectiveness and safety of 15% malunggay ointment with 2% mupirocin ointment in treating localized pyoderma.METHODS:
Sixty-three patients with localized pyoderma (?10% of total body surface area) were enrolled in this randomized, double-blind study to apply either 15% malunggay or 2% mupirocin ointment twice daily for 14 days. Clinical evaluation using the Global Assessment Score (GAS) for pruritus, pain, erythema, vesiculation, moistness and crusting were conducted at baseline and days 3, 7 and 14 of clinic visit.RESULTS:
Both malunggay and mupirocin groups showed significant decreases in GAS from baseline to days 3, 7 and 14 of treatment (p=0.000, Repeated measures, ANOVA). By days 7 and 14, median GAS of malunggay ointment was higher than mupirocin (1 vs. 0, pCONCLUSION:
Patients in the mupirocin treatment arm had significantly lower global assessment scores and higher cure rates compared to those in the malunggay treatment arm.
