Abstract
Skin infections represent a significant burden of infection diseases. Complicated skin infections characteristically involve deeper skin structures or coexist in patients with immune suppression, infected burns, ulcer wounds and diabetic foot infection. These infections are likely to be poly- microbial. There is a world midst of an immerging crisis of antibiotic resistance for microbial pathogens. Therefore it seems necessary to find out other alternative safe and efficient methods for the treatment microbial infection diseases.
In this work a new noninvasive technique, using extremely low frequency (ELF) square electric pulses for the treatment of bacterial infected skin diseases. The frequency and duration time of exposure of these pulses were chosen depending on the resonance inhibiting frequency for the growth of the infecting bacteria according to previous reported in vitro and in vivo studies. The trial was expanded to diabetic foot treatment through clinical trial project with the Egyptian Ministry of Health and supported by the Egyptian Ministry of Defense. The trial was done at Almaza Military Hospital in Cairo , Egypt.
In this method the subject is exposed to the ELF-EM field of strength 2.0 V/CM generated between two parallel copper plate electrodes connected to the pulse generator. The distance between the two electrodes is 150 cm. The exposure time and number of sits depend on the type/s of the infecting micro organism and the treated case condition. The clinical trial covered 100 patients.
Clinical investigations indicated no growth for bacteria and accelerates healing of the infected area after exposure for all ELF-EM treated cases.
