Abstract

Summary In this clinical study documented by serial color photographs, neither erythromycin, 400 mg. administered orally every six hours, nor tetracycline, 250 mg. given orally every six hours for periods of three to seven days, significantly affected wound healing. However, nitrofurazone applied topically had a demonstrably beneficial effect.
