Abstract
Dextran polymer particles (dextranomer; Debrisan) was used in the treatment of 25 patients with non-venereal penile ulcers. In 14 cases the ulcers were caused by herpes infection, 3 patients had dequalinum-induced necrosis and in 8 cases the etiology of the ulceration was unknown. The ulcers healed in most cases during the first week of treatment, and in all cases within 4 weeks. An almost immediate relief of pain was reported by most of the patients.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
