舰船员慢性荨麻疹与马拉色菌相关性研究

Study of the association of Malassezia furfur with chronic urticaria among the ship crews

目的研究舰船员慢性荨麻疹发病与马拉色菌的关系.方法对126例舰船员慢性荨麻疹患者及45例健康者进行真菌学比较研究.将马拉色菌阳性的82例慢性荨麻疹患者分为A、B两组,A组单用抗组胺药,B组用抗组胺药联合2%酮康唑洗剂治疗.结果舰船员慢性荨麻疹患者皮肤马拉色菌带菌率高于正常对照组(P<0.01),两治疗观察组于治疗结束时,疗效无显著性差异(P<0.05);治疗结束6～8周后,B组疗效高于A组,有显著性差异(P<0.01),且B组真菌学检查马拉色菌转阴率高于A组(P<0.01).结论舰船员慢性荨麻疹与皮肤马拉色菌有一定相关性,联合抗真菌治疗能提高其远期疗效.

Objective To investigate the association of Malassezia furfur with chronic urticaria in the crew members of ships. Methods A comparative mycological study of 126 crew members of ships with chronic urticaria and 45 normal control subjects was carried out. The 82 urticaria patients identified as positive for Malassezia furfur were divided into groups A and B to receive treatment with antihistaminics (group A) and antihistaminics combined with 2% ketoconazole shampoo(group A). Results The carrier rates of Malassezia furfur were significantly higher in urticaria patients than in the normal control subjects (P<0.01), but in view of the case ratios of the final cure or improvement, no significant difference was observed between the two groups by the end of the treatment courses (P>0.05). But 6 to 8 weeks from the end of the treatment course, better therapeutic effect was noted in group B (P<0.01), with higher rate of negative Malassezia furfur findings (P<0.01). Conclusion Malassezia furfur may play an important role in the prevalence of chronic urticaria among the crew members, and anti-fungal treatment may produce better long-term therapeutic effect.
