Summary.— Sodium fusidate ointment has been used in the treatment of erythrasma in a mental hospital. In comparison with a benzoic acid (Whitfield's) ointment it proved as effective in clearing fluorescent lesions (90%‚cure’) and more effective in clearing the associated Corynebacterium minutissimum. It was, however, less effective in removing scaling.
