Pyoderma gangrenosum complicating ulcerative colitis: successful treatment with
methylprednisolone pulse therapy and dapsone.
Galun E, Flugelman MY, Rachmilewitz D.
A 36-yr-old patient suffering from chronic ulcerative colitis complicated by
severe pyoderma gangrenosum of the leg is presented. Pyoderma gangrenosum rapidly
progressed and failed to respond to a combined treatment of bed rest, prednisone,
sulfasalazine, povidone-iodine, compresses, and debridement. Pyoderma gangrenosum
responded and disappeared with no recurrence during the following months after
the combined treatment of methylprednisolone, dapsone, and zinc sulfate.
