Effect of HOCl on Staphylococcus aureus
The subjects studied were 22 pediatric patients newly diagnosed with atopic dermatitis (AD);
11
were treated with acid electrolytic water (AEW), which has a strong bactericidal activity
(AEW
group), and the other 11 with tap water (placebo group).
AEW or tap water, 1 ml/cm2 (body surface area), was sprayed on their skin lesions with a
spray
gun each twice a day for a week.
There were no significant differences between the two groups in regard to sex, age, serum
IgE,
peripheral eosinophil counts, grading scores of AD, and duration of AD.
