Effect of oral doxycycline, azithromycin and isotretinoin on haematological inflammatory markers and interleukin-17A levels in acne vulgaris: a single blinded randomised interventional study

Amidst the existing literature on the effect of isotretinoin on serum interleukin-17 levels in acne patients, the effects of oral antibiotics azithromycin and doxycycline on serum interleukin-17 is scarce. We conducted an investigator blinded randomized interventional study to compare the effect of...

description Amidst the existing literature on the effect of isotretinoin on serum interleukin-17 levels in acne patients, the effects of oral antibiotics azithromycin and doxycycline on serum interleukin-17 is scarce. We conducted an investigator blinded randomized interventional study to compare the effect of doxycycline, azithromycin and isotretinoin on inflammatory markers and Interleukin-17A (IL-17A) levels in acne. Patients were randomized and received the treatment according to treatment arm till 12 weeks. At baseline and 12 weeks/treatment completion, clinical improvement and Red-cell-distribution width (RDW),Neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio(NLR),Platelet-lymphocyte ratio(PLR), Mean-Platelet volume(MPV), Platelet-distribution width(PDW) and Interleukin-17A levels were analysed.

P -value &lt; 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Out of 120 patients, 110 patients completed the study.

All the drugs caused a statistically significant decrease in RDW and IL-17 A levels. Baseline levels of IL-17 A were significantly higher in patients with higher GAGS and post-acne scarring. One of the limitations of our study was that we excluded severe nodulocystic acne patients thereby these results have to be carefully extrapolated.</description><identifier>ISSN: 1432-069X</identifier><identifier>ISSN: 0340-3696</identifier><identifier>EISSN: 1432-069X</identifier><identifier>DOI: 10.1007/s00403-024-03434-x</identifier><identifier>PMID: 39417892</identifier><language>eng</language><publisher>Berlin/Heidelberg: Springer Berlin Heidelberg</publisher><subject><![CDATA[Acne ; Acne Vulgaris - blood ; Acne Vulgaris - drug therapy ; Administration, Oral ; Adolescent ; Adult ; Anti-Bacterial Agents - administration & dosage ; Anti-Bacterial Agents - therapeutic use ; Antibiotics ; Azithromycin ; Azithromycin - administration & dosage ; Azithromycin - therapeutic use ; Biomarkers - blood ; Cytokines ; Dermatologic Agents - administration & dosage ; Dermatologic Agents - therapeutic use ; Dermatology ; Doxycycline ; Doxycycline - administration & dosage ; Doxycycline - therapeutic use ; Female ; Humans ; Inflammation ; Interleukin 17 ; Interleukin-17 - blood ; Isotretinoin - administration & dosage ; Isotretinoin - therapeutic use ; Leukocytes (neutrophilic) ; Lymphocytes ; Male ; Medicine ; Medicine & Public Health ; Original Paper ; Patients ; Platelets ; Single-Blind Method ; Statistical analysis ; Treatment Outcome ; Young Adult]]></subject><ispartof>Archives of dermatological research, 2024-10, Vol.316 (10), p.697, Article 697</ispartof><rights>The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature 2024.
