Acne vulgaris is a chronic inflammatory disease that affects the pilosebaceous unit. This disease occurs on the skin of the face, body, back, and other areas of the body, and can leave scars on the skin which can be temporary or permanent. Recent data shows that the inflammatory process is the initial process in the pathogenesis of acne, several pro-inflammatory cytokines, one of which is interleukin 6 (IL-6), which plays a role in acne vulgaris. Analytical observational study with a cross-sectional approach. The research was carried out from February - November 2023 at the Skin and Venereology Polyclinic, RSUP Prof. Dr. I.G.N.G. Ngoerah Denpasar and the Clinical Pathology Laboratory of Prof IGNG Ngoerah Hospital. The sample consisted of 47 samples of patients with acne and 20 samples without acne aged 8 - 45 years who were selected through consecutive sampling according to inclusion and exclusion criteria. A sample of 3 milliliters of venous blood is taken which will then be checked for IL-6 with an ELISA kit. Data analysis with SPSS version 24 and p value <0.05 is significant. The mean IL-6 serum levels in the acne group was 110.2 ± 88.3 pg/ml while in the non-acne group it was 26.7 ± 23.7 pg/ml. There was a significant difference in the category of IL-6 levels in the acne and non-acne groups (95% CI 55.1 - 155.3, p<0.001). The correlation analysis of IL-6 levels with the severity of acne was strongly positive (r=0.951, p<0.001).

Background: Scabies, a parasitic infestation by Sarcoptes scabiei var. hominis, is a global health challenge with significant morbidity, particularly in tropical climates. While often studied in community settings, the profile of adult patients presenting to tertiary care facilities remains under-documented. This study aimed to delineate the clinical-demographic characteristics of adult scabies patients at a major referral hospital in Bali, Indonesia, to better understand this specific patient study. Methods: A retrospective, descriptive study was conducted utilizing electronic medical records from the Dermatology and Venereology outpatient clinic at Prof. Dr. I.G.N.G. Ngoerah General Hospital from January 2021 to December 2023. Following a total sampling method based on strict inclusion and exclusion criteria, data from 38 adult patients with a clinical diagnosis of scabies were extracted. The analysis focused on descriptive statistics to summarize patient demographics, contact history, and prescribed therapeutic regimens. Results: The study of 38 patients had a mean age of 34.1 ± 2.5 years. A male predominance was noted (n=22, 57.9%). The highest frequency of cases was in the 40-49 year age bracket (n=9, 23.7%). Most patients had completed senior high school (n=17, 44.7%) and were employed in the private sector (n=20, 52.6%). A family history of scabies was prevalent (n=18, 47.4%). While indirect transmission via shared clothing was rare (reported by only 7.9%), direct contact through bed sharing with at least one other person was common (n=24, 63.2%). The standard therapeutic protocol was combination therapy, with topical 5% Permethrin and oral antihistamines being the most frequent regimen (n=24, 63.2%). Conclusion: Adult scabies patients at this tertiary center are typically middle-aged, educated, working males. Transmission is overwhelmingly linked to intimate household contact, highlighting the inefficiency of fomite-based spread compared to direct skin-to-skin contact. The standard use of combination therapy reflects a proactive clinical approach to managing both the parasitic infestation and the complex immunologic cascade of pruritus. These findings provide a crucial clinical baseline for this specific patient population.

Molluscum contagiosum (MC) is a viral infectious disease caused by the Molluscum Contagiosum Virus (MCV). There are four subtypes of MCV (MCV-1, MCV-2, MCV-3, and MCV-4). The worldwide incidence of MK infection is estimated to be around 2% to 8%, while in the HIV/AIDS population, it is approximately 5% to 18%. To date, there is limited research reporting on the profile of MC patients in Indonesia. This is a descriptive cross-sectional research design. Data were obtained retrospectively and collected from the medical records of patients with molluscum contagiosum who visited the Dermatology and Venereology Polyclinic at Prof. I.G.N.G. Ngoerah General Hospital in Denpasar, Bali, from January 2018 to December 2020. In this study of molluscum contagiosum infection at the Dermatology and Venereology Polyclinic of Sanglah General Hospital in Denpasar, Bali, during the period of January 2018 to December 2020, the majority of participants were aged between 18-44 years (61.1%) and were male (61.1%). Most participants were from Bali (77.8%) and were married (55.6%). Moreover, the majority of participants were sexually active (77.8%) and had a negative HIV status (55.6%). Concerning sexual orientation, most participants identified as heterosexual (83.3%). Regarding the type of therapy received, most participants underwent enucleation (55.5%) and combination therapy (22.2%). Broad public education, especially for parents, regarding molluscum contagiosum should be enhanced to support more effective healthcare efforts encompassing treatment, prevention, and health promotion.

Leprosy infection can cause anemia due to chronic disease (ACD). Multidrug therapy (MDT) for leprosy patients can overcome the infection. This study aims to determine the comparison in the incidence of ACD before and three months after MDT to leprosy patients at Prof. Dr. I G.N.G. Ngoerah Central General Hospital. A cross-sectional analytical observational study was conducted using secondary data from medical records of leprosy patients. A total of 142 samples were taken through total sampling. Data taken included gender, domicile, type of leprosy suffered, incidence of ACD, hemoglobin levels, and erythrocyte index before and three months after completing MDT leprosy therapy. Data analysis was carried out with SPSS version 21 using chi-square and paired t tests (dependent t-test), p value <0.05 means significant. The incidence of ACD was significantly higher before leprosy MDT therapy compared to 3 months after completing leprosy MDT therapy (49.3% vs. 16.2%; p value <0.001) with a prevalence ratio of 3.043 (2.021-4.584) CI95%. The mean hemoglobin levels, MCV, MCH, and MCHC levels 3 months after MDT leprosy therapy were significantly higher than before receiving MDT therapy (13.73 ± 1.47 vs. 12.40 ± 2.06 g/dL; p value <0.001), (88.18±7.22 vs. 84.07±9.55 fl; p value<0.001), (28.32±2.76 vs. 26.72±3.17 pg/cell; p value <0.001), (32.03±1.30 vs. 31.69±1.47%; p value<0.001). The incidence of ACD was significantly higher before MDT compared to 3 months after MDT. Mean hemoglobin, MCV, MCH, and MCHC levels were found to be significantly higher 3 months after MDT compared to before receiving MDT.

Background: Acne vulgaris (AV) is a common chronic skin disease involving blockage and or inflammation of pilosebaceous glands which usually affects teenagers and young adults. Elevated sebaceous gland secretion, Propionibacterium acne colonization and inflammation, high androgen effects, and follicular hyperproliferation are the main pathogenic factors of AV. IGF-1 and insulin were studied to stimulate sebaceous lipogenesis. In the skin, besides inducing lipid production in human sebocytes IGF-1 also induces keratinocyte proliferation in vitro and in vivo. HOMA-IR is an examination to determine insulin activity in the basal state. Objective: To prove that high HOMA-IR value is a risk factor for the occurrence of acne vulgaris. Methods: This study is a case control analytic study by comparing HOMA-IR in subjects with AV (case group) and non AV (control group). AV is diagnosed based on clinical predilection. Insulin testing was carried out by the immulite 2000 device through the immunochemiluminescent method. Results: Mean HOMA-IR of case group is 2.63 ± 0.29 meanwhile in the control group was 1.71 ± 0.26 (p <0.001). Subjects with high HOMA-IR had 4.8 times higher risk to experience AV compared to patients with normal HOMA-IR values (p <0.001; 95% CI 2.765-8.332). Conclusion: HOMA-IR values in acne patients were higher than controls. A high HOMA-IR value is an AV risk factor.

Background: There are several theories that suggest melanocyte death in vitiligo, one example is oxidative stress theory. Oxidative stress primarily manifested by lipid peroxidation ultimately produce malondialdehyde. Malondialdehyde is a stable marker to assess an oxidative stress event. The correlation between serum malondialdehyde levels and vitiligo severity and activity remained controversial in previous studies. Objective: This study aimed to verify whether or not the serum MDA levels are positively correlated with vitiligo severity and activity. Methods: This study was an analytical cross-sectional study. which involved 64 subjects with vitiligo and 20 subjects without vitiligo. Serum MDA levels were measured to mark an oxidative stress event, whereas the severity and activity of vitiligo were clinically assessed with vitiligo area severity index (VASI) and vitiligo disease activity (VIDA) scoring system. Results: Total 64 subjects with vitiligo and 20 subjects without vitiligo participated in this study. Serum MDA mean levels of vitiligo subjects were significantly higher compared to subjects without vitiligo (p<0.05). Serum MDA levels had a strong positive correlation with VASI score (r=0.761; p<0.01). The strong positive correlation found between serum MDA levels with vitiligo activity assessed by VASI score in vitiligo subjects (r=0.609; p<0.01), and high serum MDA levels increased the risk for developing vitiligo (PR=7.62; 95% CI: 2.49-23.30; p<0.01). Serum MDA levels influenced vitiligo as much as 10.1%, meanwhile the remaining 89.9% were influenced by other variables apart from high serum MDA levels out of this study (R2=0.101; p<0.05). Conclusion: Serum MDA levels were positively correlated with vitiligo severity and activity, and high serum MDA levels increased the risk of developing vitiligo.
