4.Standardization of erythromycine gel product
Pharmaceutical Journal 2004;44(6):23-26
Gel erythromycin 4% (type 10g) was compounded in 3 lot at Pharmacy Department of the School of Medicine and Pharmacy Can Tho. The method: Carring out test on 3 lot of product aim to build the criteria, each lot was tested minimum 3 times for criteria including apperance, vicosity, pH, particulate matter, weight uniformity, identification and assay. The result: The draft of test criteria for gel erythromycin was buitt to contribute introduce this subject into phamacopoeia. Additionaly, quantitative determination of erythromycin in the gel product was carried out by microbiological method

Aims:
Staphylococcus aureus is an important opportunistic human pathogen. The emergence of macrolide and vancomycin resistant S. aureus is of great concern for treatment of S. aureus infections. The current study aimed to investigate the pattern of antibiotic resistance in S. aureus clinical isolates recovered from El Boos Students’ hospital in Cairo, Egypt.
Methodology and results:
Sixty unduplicated S. aureus isolates were recovered from El Boos Students’ hospital in Cairo, Egypt for 11 months period. The antibiotic susceptibility test revealed that all isolates were resistant to eleven antibiotics, but only 49 S. aureus isolates were resistant to cefoxitin. The minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) of both erythromycin and vancomycin were determined by broth microdilution method. Two methicillin resistant S. aureus (MRSA) isolates showing tolerance to both erythromycin and vancomycin at high concentration were selected for further characterization. One isolate was recovered from eye infection and had MIC at 256 µg/mL of both erythromycin and vancomycin. While another isolate was recovered from throat infection and had MIC of erythromycin and vancomycin up till 512 µg/mL. The presence of resistance genes (ermA, ermB, ermC, mef, msrA, vanA and vanB) were confirmed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Both MRSA isolates carried all tested resistance genes.
Conclusion, significance and impact of study
This study highlights the concern of presence of multidrug-resistant S. aureus which showed resistance to high concentrations of erythromycin, vancomycin and carried ermA, ermB, ermC, mef, msrA, vanA and vanB genes, therefore imposes risk of failure to treat such infections.

BACKGROUND: The Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) recommends testing for inducible clindamycin resistance in clindamycin non-resistant and erythromycin resistant (CNR-ER) staphylococci by using a D-zone test. Recently, the VITEK2 system was developed to detect inducible clindamycin resistance in staphylococci. We evaluated the performance of the VITEK2 system by comparing it with a D-zone test. METHODS: In detecting inducible clindamycin resistance, a total of 142 clinical isolates of staphylococci were tested by using the VITEK2 Antimicrobial Susceptibility Test (AST)-P601 card (bioMerieux, Marcy l'Etoile, France) and the D-zone test. Of the 142 isolates of staphylococci tested, 114 were CNR-ER staphylococci [40 coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS), 74 Staphylococcus aureus] and 28 were staphylococci, either resistant or susceptible to clindamycin and erythromycin (1 CoNS and 27 S. aureus). RESULTS: Of the 114 CNR-ER staphylococci, 98.6% (73/74) of S. aureus and 32.5% (13/40) of CoNS were inducible clindamycin resistant according to the Dzone test. Overall sensitivity and specificity of the VITEK2 system were 98.8% (85/86) and 98.2% (55/56) respectively, and the agreement between the VITEK2 system and the D-zone test was 98.6% (140/142). CONCLUSION: The VITEK2 system shows high concordance with a D-zone test. The inducible clindamycin resistance in staphylococci can be detected easily and conveniently by the VITEK2 system.

Childhood granulomatous periorificial dermatitis is a granulomatous disease that's characterized by monomorphous, small papular eruptions around the mouth, nose and eyes. The condition is benign and self-limiting and it is not associated with systemic involvement. We recently encountered a 7-year-old Korean boy with multiple, discrete, monomorphic, papular eruptions of 4-week duration on the perioral, periocular and perinasal areas. Histopathological examination revealed an upper dermal and perifollicular granulomatous infiltrate. He was treated with oral erythromycin and the condition resolved without leaving any scar.

Erythrasma is a chronic, superficial bacterial skin infection involving the body folds and toewebs, and sametimes it may be generalized. The causative organism of this disease is Corynebacterium minutissimum. But, in Korea, there are few reported case about this common condition. We experienced a case of erythrasma on 39-year-old male who have had well defined, brownish fine scaly patches on both crural areas for 15 years. We had treated this patient with topical antifungal agent for 1 month under impression of tinea cruris, But skin lesion was not improved. So, we reexamined the lesion and diagnosed it as genitocrural form of erythrasma with it's clinical appearance, red fluorescence under Wood's light. And we treated it with oral erythromycin.

Gastroparesis is rare in children and is defined as delayed emptying of gastric contents into the duodenum without mechanical obstruction. We experienced a case of gastroparesis in a 7-year-old boy after a viral illness. He was admitted because of excessive abdominal bloating and diffuse abdominal pain, and was diagnosed by clinical manifestations and measurement of the gastric emtpyting time. He recovered after dietary management and with commbined medication of erythromycin and domperidone in 50 days of illness.
