Abstract

Neopterin is closely associated with activation of the cellular immune system. Neopterin levels differed between controls and patients with Buruli ulcer disease. No differences between patients with or without paradoxical responses were observed. Therefore, neopterin has no value in detecting paradoxical responses among patients with limited Buruli ulcer disease. Neopterin levels were lower in patients receiving clarithromycin. This finding might indicate a slower cellular immune recovery, with possible consequences in future therapy with clarithromycin.

7. Antimicrobial treatment for early, limited Mycobacterium ulceransinfection: a randomised controlled trial

Author

Nienhuis, Willemien A, Stienstra, Ymkje, Thompson, William A, Awuah, Peter C, Abass, K Mohammed, Tuah, Wilson, Awua-Boateng, Nana Yaa, Ampadu, Edwin O, Siegmund, Vera, Schouten, Jan P, Adjei, Ohene, Bretzel, Gisela, and van der Werf, Tjip S

Abstract

Surgical debridement was the standard treatment for Mycobacterium ulceransinfection (Buruli ulcer disease) until WHO issued provisional guidelines in 2004 recommending treatment with antimicrobial drugs (streptomycin and rifampicin) in addition to surgery. These recommendations were based on observational studies and a small pilot study with microbiological endpoints. We investigated the efficacy of two regimens of antimicrobial treatment in early-stage M ulceransinfection.
