Condition(s) targeted: Cellulitis

Intervention: Daptomycin (Drug); Vancomycin (Drug)

Phase: Phase 4

Status: Completed

Sponsored by: Hospital Universitario Evangelico de Curitiba

Summary

Primary: To determine the influence of daptomycin on inflammatory cytokine (IL-1, TNF and IL-6) for the treatment of complicated cellulitis/erysipela compared with alternative treatment (vancomycin or oxacillin). Secondary: To evaluate the clinical outcome of both groups according to levels of the cytokines evaluated.
