Persistierende Schwellung nach Spülung eines Abszesses mit Octenisept®

Abstract: We report the case of a long-lasting cutaneous side effect after inappropriate use of Octenisept® solution (containing octenidine and phenoxyethanol). Following lavage of an abscess in the inguinal region, a painful erythematous induration mimicking cellulitis persisted for several months. Manual lymphatic drainage considerably improved the symptoms. Octenisept® shows considerable tissue toxicity in vivo including - but not restricted to - blood vessel damage. Deterioration of endothelial cells followed by oed… Show more

“…Octenisept ® shows considerable tissue toxicity in vivo, including -but not restricted toblood vessel damage. Deterioration of endothelial cells followed by oedema and continued tissue damage can be seen histologically [21]. Some studies have also focused on the cytotoxicity of antiseptics on human chondrocytes.…”

“…In the use of antiseptic solutions, the characteristics of the individual substances, the type of wound (wound cavities, protein error) as well as the individual risk profile (allergies) of the patient should be taken into consideration [49,51,52].…”

“…Auch für Polyvidonjod konnte in einer kontrollierten Studie keine histologisch nachweisbare Gewebetoxizität gezeigt werden [50]. Umgekehrt verhält es sich mit Octenidinlösungen, welche mit 1,73-2,11 relativ hohe BI-Werte aufweisen, über deren unerwünschte Arzneimittelwirkungen mit Ödembildung und Gewebsnekrosen bei Anwendung unter Druck oder Verbleib in Wundhöhlen bereits wiederholt in "Rote-Hand-Briefen" informiert wurde [49,51]. Polyhexanidlösungen gelten bezüglich ihrer Gewebetoxizität und ihrer Kontaktsensibilisierung als risikoarm [44,52,53].…”
