Ten colostomized patients (six males, four females) and six ileostomized patients (three males, three females), presenting moderate (10 cases) or severe (6 cases) peristomal dermatitis, were treated for up to 28 days with a local daily application of amikacin sulphate 5% gel. All cases with moderate dermatitis and two patients with severe dermatitis recovered within 7 days of treatment. Two cases of severe dermatitis recovered in 14 days and the last two cases recovered in 28 days. No signs of intolerance to amikacin gel were shown by the patients. We conclude that amikacin sulphate 5% gel is a useful tool in the topical care of peristomal dermatitis in ostomate patients.
