The аim of research – the clinical results of complex therapy in patients with acne vulgaris- residents of the iodine deficiency region should be determined and analyzed consideringthe state of their pituitary-thyroid system, intestinal microbiota and immunologicalparameters.Material and methods. The study involved 109 patients with moderate to severe acnevulgaris, who are the residents of Chernivtsi region - a region with natural iodinedeficiency. Examination of the patients revealed changes in the pituitary-thyroid system,immunological parameters and intestinal biocenosis, which corresponded to the severityof dermatosis. During treatment, patients were divided into 3 groups: I comparative - 36people who received conventional acne therapies and medicines to normalize thyroidhomeostasis; group II comparative - 36 patients who were additionally prescribedprobiotics, and ІІІ (main) - 37 persons who received complex treatment with the additionaladministration of probiotics and immunotropic drug. The effectiveness of treatment ofpatients was evaluated by their earliest and long-term clinical results using statisticalanalysis methods.Results. It has been established that complex therapy of patients with moderate and severeacne vulgaris - residents of the iodine deficiency region with the administration alongsidewith the conventional acne therapy of medicines that normalize detected changes in thepituitary-thyroid system, immunotropic drug glucosaminylmuramyl dipeptide (licopid))and probiotic (lacium) reliably reduces (p <0.01) in comparison with conventional acnetherapy or conventional acne therapy with additional probiotics administration the termsof regress of acute inflammatory elements of acne with the achievement of the state ofclinical remission of dermatosis, (respectively: by 1,54 and 1,41 times). The frequency ofexacerbations acne process of patients with moderate and severe acne vulgaris duringthe year were also reduced (respectively: 1.59 and 1.26 times) relatively to patients in thecomparison groups.Conclusion. The complex therapy of patients with moderate to severe acne - residentsof the iodine deficiency region with administration of medicines to normalize thyroidhomeostasis, immunotropic drug glucosaminylmuramyl dipeptide (licopid) and probiotic(lacium) reliable improves the earliest and long-term clinical results of their treatment incomparison with conventional treatment or treatment using only the probiotic additionalprescription.
