Description

Sucrose/povidone-iodine ointment (U-PASTA kowa) was used to treat 53 patients with pressure sores and skin ulcers, and its bacteriological effect on methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) or other microorganisms was evaluated as well as its clinical efficacy.<BR>This ointment was effective against MRSA in 62.5% of the patients with pressure sores and 81.8% of those with skin ulcers. It was active against organisms other than MRSA in 76.5% and 66.7%, respectively. There was “moderate” or better clinical improvement after 8 weeks in 38.1%(“slight” or better improvement in 85.6%) of the patients with pressure sores and in 71.4%(92.9%) of those with skin ulcers. Microbial substitution occurred in only 5% of patients and side effects developed in 3 patients (5.7%). From these findings, U-PASTAkowa was judged to be both safe and effective for the treatment of pressure sores and skin ulcers, including lesions with MRSA infection.
