Use of cephalexin plus trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole vs cephalexin alone for treatment of uncomplicated cellulitis.
TO THE EDITOR—We read with much interest the article by Pallin et al [1], which presents the data from the double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial that compared the clinical effectiveness of trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole plus cephalexin vs cephalexin alone in treatment of cellulitis without abscess in the outpatient setting where community-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococ...
متن کاملEffect of Cephalexin Plus Trimethoprim-Sulfamethoxazole vs Cephalexin Alone on Clinical Cure of Uncomplicated Cellulitis: A Randomized Clinical Trial.
Importance Emergency department visits for skin infections in the United States have increased with the emergence of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). For cellulitis without purulent drainage, β-hemolytic streptococci are presumed to be the predominant pathogens. It is unknown if antimicrobial regimens possessing in vitro MRSA activity provide improved outcomes compared with t...
متن کاملClinical trial: comparative effectiveness of cephalexin plus trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole versus cephalexin alone for treatment of uncomplicated cellulitis: a randomized controlled trial.
BACKGROUND Community-associated methicillin-resistant S. aureus (CA-MRSA) is the most common organism isolated from purulent skin infections. Antibiotics are usually not beneficial for skin abscess, and national guidelines do not recommend CA-MRSA coverage for cellulitis, except purulent cellulitis, which is uncommon. Despite this, antibiotics targeting CA-MRSA are prescribed commonly and incre...
متن کاملSonochemical degradation of the antibiotic cephalexin in aqueous solution
The degradation of cephalexin in aqueous solution under ultrasound irradiation was investigated. Biodegradability of the solution was evaluated by the BOD5/COD ratio, which was raised from zero to 0.36 after ultrasound treatment, indicating that the ultrasound irradiation process is a successful pre-treatment step to improve the biodegradability of cephalexin solution. The influences of ultraso...
