Abstract
Five days' treatment with topical mupirocin, applied twice daily, in 36 patients with moderately severe primary and secondary skin infections, resulted in resolution/much improvement of skin lesions in 75.0% of patients and bacterial eradication in 83.9% of cases. Penicillin-resistant and penicillin-sensitive staphylococci were most commonly implicated. No adverse effects were reported in any of the patients treated. Physicians' assessment of cure/improvement was recorded in 91.7% of patients.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
