Resumen de Oral Minocycline in Treatment of Cutaneous Sarcoidosis
Talora Steen, Joseph C. English
Currently, therapeutic techniques used to treat cutaneous sarcoidosis rely on limited data from evidenced-based research.1- 2 Bachelez et al3 conducted a prospective study in which 10 of 12 patients showed improvement after minocycline therapy, and Antonovich and Callen4 reported the case of 1 woman who was successfully treated with doxycycline. On the basis of these encouraging reports, our clinic began to use minocycline, a commonly used anti-inflammatory acne therapy that does not require laboratory monitoring, as a first-line treatment for cutaneous sarcoidosis. The present retrospective study sought to evaluate our experience with minocycline treatment and to compare its effectiveness across sex and race.
