There has been an increase in the number of dermatology patients suffering from several concomitant skin diseasesof different etiology for the past decade. A special term - dermatoses of mixed etiology (DME) - was suggested todescribe this group of diseases. According to the authors, long-term uninterrupted treatment with one-component topicaldrugs or unreasonable administration of three-component combination agents is the most frequent reason for DME.The authors describe their positive experience of administering Travocort as a part of DME treatment. The effect of thedrug was observed as early as on the second day of its administration: there was an active regression of hyperemia,edemas and skin oozing lesions in the foci. Itching and stinging disappeared almost completely, which also alleviatedthe patients condition. On Days 3-4, no formation of new vesicles was observed, there were no oozing lesions, anderosion cuticularization began on an active basis. Therefore, Travocort is a highly efficient drug for treatment of infectiousdermatoses complicated with eczematization as well as chronic inflammatory diseases exacerbated by a concomitantfungous and bacterial infection.
