Empiric antimicrobial therapies for furuncle include either TMP-SMX or Doxycycline for moderate furuncles, and either Vancomycin, Daptomycin, Linezolid, Telavancin, or Ceftaroline for severe furuncles.
Medical Therapy
Boil (furuncle)
- Spontaneous healing:
- After a period of itching and mild pain, the boils (furuncles) may heal spontaneously.
- Mild
- Preferred regimen: incision and drainage
- Moderate
- Empiric treatment :TMP-SMX OR Doxycycline
- Culture directed treatment
- MSSA (methicilin susceptible staphylococcus aureus): TMP-SMX
- MRSA (methicilin resistant staphylococcus aureus): Dicloxacillin OR Cephalexin
- Severe
- Empiric treatment :Vancomycin OR Daptomycin OR Linezolid OR Televancin OR Ceftaroline
- Culture directed treatment
- MSSA (methicilin susceptible staphylococcus aureus): Nafcillin OR Cefazolin OR Clindamycin
- MRSA (methicilin resistant staphylococcus aureus): Vancomycin OR Daptomycin OR Linezolid OR Televancin OR Ceftaroline
