Abstract

Tinea favosa is an inflammatory infection of the skin, most often found on the scalp, caused by Trichophyton schoenleinii It is rarely reported and is more commonly found on immunocompromised patient, poor hygiene and nutrition, dense population, poverty, with limited access to healthcare. Transmission can occur directly from family members or close friends or indirectly through strands of infected hair or desquamation of affected epithelial. In this article, we reported a case of tinea favosa on a 7-year-old boy with itchy thick scale and mousy odor that occurred 2 months prior to medication. The patient responded well to oral antifungal (Griseofulvin) and antibiotic (amoxicillin) as well as topical treatment (fusidic acid cream, miconazole cream, and ketoconazole shampoo) after 6 weeks of treatment showing no dermatophyte growth on scalp scraping culture. Education of proper hygiene as well as reducing humidity on scalp area and improving the nutrition status are the main strategies to prevent the recurrence of this disease.

Abstract

Herpes zoster (HZ) is an acute skin infection caused by reactivation of the varicella-zoster virus (VZV), characterized by unilateral radicular pain and clustered vesicles following a dermatomal pattern. Although more commonly seen in older adults and immunocompromised individuals, HZ can also occur in immunocompetent children who have received complete varicella immunization, although this is rare. This report aims to describe a case of HZ in an immunocompetent child without a prior history of varicella infection and to raise clinical awareness of the possibility of HZ in low-risk pediatric populations. The method used is a case report with a descriptive clinical approach, including symptom evaluation, physical examination, and treatment with antiviral and supportive therapies. The findings indicate that HZ can be clinically diagnosed even in children considered low-risk. In conclusion, HZ should remain a differential diagnosis in children presenting with characteristic vesicular lesions, to ensure prompt recognition and appropriate management.

Abstract

Infantile seborrheic dermatitis is a common chronic inflammatory skin disorder that causes erythema and scaling on the scalp, face, and skin folds. Malnutrition in newborns can affect skin integrity and immunological responses, worsening seborrheic dermatitis symptoms. The Seborrhoeic Dermatitis Area Severity Index (SDASI) evaluates disease severity based on the size and intensity of lesions. This case report aims to describes infantile seborrheic dermatitis in a malnourished newborn who improved significantly clinically after topical medication, as measured by the SDASI. A one-month-old boy child presented with thick, yellowish scales and erythema on the head and right temporo-occipital area that had appeared one week before hospital admission.The patient was diagnosed with infantile seborrheic dermatitis and severe malnutrition (weight-for-age z-score < -3 SD per WHO growth criteria). The first SDASI score was 4. The pediatric department provided nutritional rehabilitation, while the dermatology department provided a topical corticosteroid (desoximetasone 0.25%) and emollients. During the second week of clinical exams, the SDASI score dropped to 0.2. This example demonstrates that combining nutritional support with topical therapy can lead to significant clinical improvement in infantile seborrheic dermatitis, as seen by a significant drop in SDASI score. SDASI is a valuable objective metric for monitoring sickness progression and therapy response in comparable scenarios.

Abstract

Background: Seborrheic Dermatitis (SD) is a chronic and recurrent inflammatory skin disease that commonly affects adolescents and adults, with a relatively high prevalence, particularly among immunocompromised individuals. SD has a multifactorial pathophysiology, involving Malassezia spp.,  skin surface lipids, and immunological dysregulation. This condition can significantly impact patients'quality of life due to frequent relapses, causing symptoms such as itching and redness. Therefore, prompt treatment with various available topical therapies is crucial. Objectives: This study aims to assess the level of knowledge about SD among medical students at the Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Sumatera Utara, from the class of 2021 – 2023. Methods: This is a descriptive study using a cross-sectional design, employing a questionnaire distributed via Google Forms and QR codes to students from the specified batches. The sampling technique used was simple random sampling. Results: The results showed that most students had a moderate level of knowledge about SD (50%). A total of 150 respondents (57.7%) had a sufficient understanding of SD treatment options. The majority of respondents were female students, with 176 responses. The age group of 17 to 20 years dominated the sample, accounting for approximately 46.2%. The highest number of respondents came from the 2021 cohort (67.3%). Conclusion: This study concludes that medical students at Universitas Sumatera Utara have a moderate level of knowledge regarding SD and its treatment options. These findings highlight the importance of further education and awareness to enhance students' understanding of the condition. Keyword: level of knowledge, seborrheic dermatitis, treatment selection Latar Belakang: Dermatitis seboroik (DS) adalah penyakit inflamasi kulit kronis dan rekuren yang sering terjadi pada remaja dan dewasa, dengan prevalensi yang cukup tinggi, terutama pada individu dengan kondisi imunokompromais. DS memiliki patofisiologi multifaktorial, yang meliputi Malassezia spp., lipid permukaan kulit, dan disregulasi imunologis. Penyakit ini dapat memengaruhi kualitas hidup penderitanya karena gejala yang sering kambuh, seperti gatal dan kemerahan. Oleh karena itu, pengobatan segera dengan berbagai pilihan terapi topikal yang tersedia sangat penting. Tujuan: Studi ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui gambaran tingkat pengetahuan tentang DS pada mahasiswa Fakultas Kedokteran Universitas Sumatera Utara angkatan 2021-2023. Metode: Penelitian ini bersifat deskriptif dengan desain potong lintang (cross-sectional), menggunakan kuesioner yang disebarkan melalui Google Form dan QR Code kepada mahasiswa/i Fakultas Kedokteran Universitas Sumatera Utara angkatan 2021-2023. Teknik pengambilan sampel menggunakan metode simple random sampling. Hasil: Hasil menunjukkan bahwa sebagian besar mahasiswa memiliki tingkat pengetahuan yang cukup mengenai DS (50%). Sebanyak 150 responden (57,7%) memiliki tingkat pengetahuan yang cukup terkait pemilihan pengobatan DS. Mayoritas responden adalah mahasiswi perempuan, dengan 176 respons. Kelompok usia 17 hingga 20 tahun mendominasi dengan persentase sekitar 46,2%. Responden terbanyak berasal dari angkatan 2021 (67,3%). Kesimpulan: Studi ini menyimpulkan bahwa mahasiswa Fakultas Kedokteran Universitas Sumatera Utara memiliki tingkat pengetahuan yang cukup mengenai DS dan pilihan pengobatannya. Temuan ini menekankan pentingnya peningkatan edukasi dan kesadaran untuk memperdalam pemahaman mahasiswa tentang kondisi ini. Keyword: dermatitis seboroik, pemilihan pengobatan, tingkat pengetahuan
