Abstract

Objective: To evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of topical tacrolimus ointment combined with oral Five Vitamins and Lysine granules in the treatment of pediatric vitiligo. Methods: Eighty children with vitiligo admitted to the Children′s Hospital Affiliated to Zhengzhou University from June 2022 to June 2024 were selected and randomly divided into the control group and the observation group using the random number table method, with 40 cases in each group. The control group was treated with 0.03% tacrolimus ointment alone, while the observation group received additional oral Five Vitamins and Lysine granules on the basis of the control group. The clinical efficacy, incidence of adverse reactions, Vitiligo Area Scoring Index (VASI), humoral immune indicators (IgG, IgA, IgM), cellular immune indicators (CD3+,CD4+,CD8+), inflammatory factor levels (IL-17, TNF-α), and Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) were compared between the two groups before and after treatment. Results: The total effective rate was higher and the VASI score was lower in the observation group compared to the control group (P<0.05). After treatment, the observation group showed higher levels of CD3+ and CD4+, and lower levels of CD8+, IgG, IgA, IgM, IL-17, and TNF-α compared to the control group (P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of adverse reactions between the two groups (P>0.05). Improvement in DLQI score was also greater in the observation group (P<0.05). Conclusion: The combination of tacrolimus and Five Vitamins and Lysine granules demonstrates significant efficacy in the treatment of pediatric vitiligo, effectively promoting repigmentation, regulating immune function, reducing inflammatory response, and has farorable safety profile.
