Abstract

Josamycin belongs to the new generation of macrolide antibiotics. Josamycin treatment was applied to various dermatological diseases (acne, pyoderma) and sexually transmitted bacteriological infections. During the examinations in ambulance treatment, 26 patients out of a total of 55 became completely healthy, 27 got better and in case of 2 persons, their conditions did not change. 4 of the sick people reported of side effects. According to the author, josamycin could be a favourable choice in certain dermatological pathographies and sexually transmitted infections because of its effectiveness and good tolerance.
