Abstract:
BACKGROUND:Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is considered an important and innovative treatment for healing skin wounds. Skin ulcers with sinus tract formation are rare and difficult to treat in the field of dermatology. Herein, we utilized optical fibers as a light source to penetrate the sinus tract and applied PDT to treat the sinus tract. OBJECTIVES:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of 5-aminolevulinic acid photodynamic therapy (ALA-PDT) and provide insight into the use of ALA-PDT in the treatment of skin ulcers with sinus tracts. METHODS:Seven patients with skin ulcers with sinus tract formation who were previously unsuccessfully treated with systemic antibiotics, debridement and dressing changes were examined. In the present study, these patients also received ALA-PDT treatment (the ulcers were irradiated with a red LED, and the sinus tracts were irradiated with semiconductor laser optical fibers), which was locally administered every 10 days with a total of 1-5 sessions. RESULTS:Six patients enrolled in the study were fully cured after receiving combination therapy with ALA-PDT and antibiotics for three months. The sinus tract of one patient was cured and the ulcer area of this patient was reduced. All patients experienced varying degrees of redness and pain during treatment but no severe discomfort, and all patients were satisfied with the outcome of the treatment. CONCLUSION:Local ALA-PDT combined with antibiotics could be a safe and effective treatment approach for skin ulcers with sinus tract formation.
