Background
Introduction
The endemic:
affecting infants and
children of low social
economic conditions in
developing countries
Atopic dermatitis ;
related PA which is
associated with
postinflammatory
hypopigmentation
It
is characterized PA
Hypopigmented,
Irregular plaques
with well- to illdefined borders,
Covered
occasionally by
fine scales; it
affects mainly
face, limbs, and
sometimes thorax.
Treatment:
0.0003% calcitriol

Methods
The investigation was an 8-week,
randomized, double-blind, split-face
placebo-controlled trial.
The study was conducted at the
Dermatology department of the Hospital
Central of San Luis Potos, Mexico
Twenty-eight children aged 317 years
with
56
symmetrical
lesions
and
phototype IV-V,
- 0.0003% calcitrioL
- 0.1% tacrolimus or
- placebo (petrolatum
patients
were
randomly
assigned in a
double-blind
manner to

1:
Mean percentage change in the depigmented area of PA
target lesions during the study for calcitriol (n = 19),
tacrolimus (n = 18), and placebo (n = 19). At 8 weeks, there
were differences among groups (one-way ANOVA, P <
0.001), but no difference was noted between calcitriol and
tacrolimus (t test, P = 0.9).
Results
Tacrolimus
and
calcitriol
ointments
induced a mean improvement of 68%,
compared to 44% of placebo.
We found an elevated TEWL in PA lesions.
In the treated plaques, the reduction of
the affected area was associated with
improvement of pigmentation and TEWL

2:
Physicians assessment of response at PA target lesions at
the end of treatment (week 8). Calcitriol and tacrolimus
efficacy was rated equally for good and excellent response (P
= 0.6, and P = 0.8, 2 test). Placebo response was
significantly lower compared to both drugs in the former
categories (P < 0.001, 2 test).
