Method and kit for topical treatment of a skin infection, in particular of superficial skin infections, caused by. The method comprises the steps of applying a photosensitizer to at least a part of the skin affected by the infection, and subjecting said part of the skin to first photons with a majority energy between 2.8 eV and 3.5 eV at a first energy level; and second photons with a majority energy between 1.24 eV and 1.65 eV at a second energy level, the ratio between the first and the second energy levels being in the range from about 10:1 to 2:1. By the method efficient treatment ofinfections can be achieved without the administration of topical antibiotics.

Method and kit for treating skin infections

Method of treating biological surfaces with electromagnetic radiation in the form of light of two different energy levels, a first light with photons having a majority energy in the range from 3.5 eV to 2.8 eV and a second light with photons having a majority energy in the range from 1.24 eV to 2.48 eV. The photons of the first light and the second light are simultaneously directed against the biological surface. The invention also contemplates the use of sensitizers in topical treatments of infections using the method. The treatment will achieve good tissue penetration. It makes it possible to give antibacterial treatment to different areas of pathogen at the same time as two or more different energy photons can target molecules in different areas.

Method of treatment of biological surfaces

Antibiotic for use in a method comprising systemically administering a photosensitive antibiotic to a subject having a microbial infection in a target tissue to provide a blood plasma concentration of the antibiotic in the subject; allowing the plasma or tissue concentration of the antibiotic increase to a predetermined level; and subjecting the target tissue to photodynamic therapy in order to increase the antimicrobial action of the antibiotic in the target tissue. With light activation the efficacy of the photosensitizer antibiotic can be enhanced, the spectrum of the microbial effect broadened and even an antiviral effect can be obtained. Generally, the present invention can be exploited when there is a need for enhancement of the local antimicrobial effect of antibiotics.
