Background: The COVID-19 pandemic, caused by SARS-CoV-2 infection, has had multiple impacts on human health, including its potential influence on the manifestation and severity of skin diseases such as superficial mycoses. This study aims to analyze the relationship between SARS-CoV-2 infection and the clinical characteristics of superficial mycosis in patients at Dr. M. Djamil General Hospital, Padang, Indonesia. Methods: This analytical observational study included 150 patients with laboratory-confirmed superficial mycoses. Demographic data, medical history, SARS-CoV-2 infection status (based on RT-PCR results), and clinical characteristics of superficial mycoses were collected and analyzed using SPSS software. Results: Of the 150 patients studied, 75 patients had a history of SARS-CoV-2 infection. No significant differences were found in the distribution of gender, age, and location of superficial mycosis infections between the groups of patients with and without SARS-CoV-2 infection. However, patients with a history of SARS-CoV-2 infection tended to have a higher severity of superficial mycosis (p < 0.05). In addition, there was a significant difference in the type of agent causing superficial mycosis between the two groups (p < 0.01). Conclusion: SARS-CoV-2 infection may influence the clinical manifestations of superficial mycoses, especially in terms of disease severity. These findings support the importance of monitoring and management of superficial mycoses in patients with a history of SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Background: Leprosy, primarily caused by Mycobacterium leprae, is a chronic infectious disease that mainly affects the skin and peripheral nerves. Type 2 leprosy reaction (ENL) is an immune complex-mediated complication characterized by inflammation of the skin, nerves, and other organs. A less common manifestation of ENL is necrotizing ENL, which presents with extensive skin necrosis and ulceration. This case report describes a rare presentation of necrotizing ENL with extensive ulceration in a young woman with borderline lepromatous leprosy. Case presentation: A 20-year-old female presented with multiple, progressively enlarging, painless ulcers on her right leg and painful reddish nodules on her left arm and left leg. She had a history of borderline lepromatous leprosy. Dermatological examination revealed madarosis, infiltration, nodules, hyperpigmentation macules, ulcers, and blackish crusts. Sensory testing showed hypoesthesia in the abdomen and back, and anesthesia in both lower arms and legs. Histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of necrotizing ENL. Conclusion: Necrotizing ENL is a rare and severe complication of leprosy. This case highlights the importance of early diagnosis and appropriate management with multi-drug therapy and corticosteroids to prevent significant morbidity and disability.

Onychodystrophy On Twenty Nails Caused By Candida Parapsilosis and Staphylococcus Aureus: A Case Report Ariani, Tutty
Health and Medical Journal Vol 4, No 2 (2022): HEME May 2022
Publisher : Universitas Baiturrahmah

Introduction: Onychodystrophy can caused by variety of underlying diseases such as fungal and nonfungal infections, various noninfectious inflammatory dermatologic diseases of the nail unit and tumors. To establish the underlying disease leading to nail dystrophy as a first step one should differentiate between infectious and noninfectious disorders by obtaining nail material for microscopic examination and culture. Case Report: A case of onychodystrophy on twenty nail in 43 years old housewife woman was reported. The chief complaint was all of her fingernails and toenails were brittle, the color became yellow brown blackish since 6 month ago and sometimes excreted smell discharge. There were onychodystrophy, onycholysis, subungual hyperkeratosis and yellow brown blackish discolorization of all fingernails and toenail on physical examination. There were longitudinal striae, aurora borealis pattern, jagged margin of proximal edge on dermoscopic examination. Microscopic examination of nail clipping and scrapping of fingernails with 20 % potassium hydroxide was negative. The culture of fungi showed Candida Parapsilosis. Culture of bacteria was Staphylococcus aureus. PAS stain from nail clipping resulted was Candida Spp. Patient treated with oral pulse antifungal itraconazole 2x200 mg/day combination with ciprofloxacin 2x500 mg twice a day and ketokonazol cream twice a day. Conclusion: Onychodystrophy can caused by onychomycosis aggravated by bacterial infection. Diagnosis of onychomycosis candida was made base on diagnosis, physical examination, microscopic, culture and histopatology. Predisposition factor in this patient was chronic exposure with water. There is improvement clinical appearance after therapy with antifungal and antibiotic

Background: HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) is a virus that attacks the bodyâ€™s immune system that can cause immunodeficiency. Immunodeficiency results in increased susceptibility to fungal infections. The other opportunistic infection, condyloma acuminate is prevalent in groups at high risk for HIV acquisition and in HIV-infected individuals. Case: There were ring-shaped reddish patches with scaly and itchy on the right back since 3 weeks ago. Patients often scratch it especially when sweating and hot weather. The itchy reddish patches with scaly were increased in number and size on the right back then spreading over the edge to form ring-like patches. Patient complained ring-shaped reddish patches getting more red, scaly, itchy, and wider. 6 months ago, there was a lump that sometime felt itchy in below part of vulva. Patient in reproductive age and not married yet, but sexually active. Patient had a sexual relation with male who HIV 2 years ago. Patient also suffered HIV and got ARV since 6 month ago. There was no protection (condom) during the sexual intercourse. Dermatologic state in right back with efflorescence is plaque erythema with annular concentric ring forms, scale, and blackish crust. Venereologycal state show vegetation in vulva with size 0,2 - 1,5 x 1 x 0,5 cm with verrucous surface. Acetowhite test is positive result. KOH 10% of skin scrapping show fungal element and fungal culture result is tricophyton rubrum. Patient was diagnosed tinea corporis (TC) and condyloma acuminata (CA) genital griseovulfin 900 mg, cetirizin 10 mg, ketokonazol 2% cream twice a day, tricholoroacetat 90% and showed good improvement.Discussion: Diagnosis tinea corporis and CA genital based on clinical findings and mycological examination. Early diagnosis and proper treatment are important in HIV patients in order to prevent severe infection. After 4 weeks treatment, show improvement on TC however CA lesion no reduced.

Leprosy, caused by Mycobacterium leprae, in 2016, Indonesia reported 16,826 new leprosy cases, with a prevalence rate of 0.71 per 10,000 individuals and a new case detection rate of 6.5 per 10,000 individuals. This study describes the result of a quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) in the nasal mucosa smear of a leprosy patient at the Dermatology and Venereology Polyclinic of Dr. M. Djamil Padang Hospital. This study adopts an observational approach with a width cut design, specifically employing a cross-sectional study methodology on leprosy patient at the Dermatology and Venereology Polyclinic of Dr. M. Djamil Padang Hospital, Indonesia between February 2023 until February 2024. The qRT-PCR quantity value of nasal mucous discharge is analyzed by a real-time PCR machine. The provided data presents characteristics of a sample population (N = 36) with leprosy. The majority of the leprosy-affected individuals in this study are between 8 and 68 years old, with a median age of 34. According to the World Health Organization (WHO) classification indicates that 83.33% of cases are multibacillary (MB). A combination RLEP/ qRT-PCR assay was developed to enable laboratory-based care and follow-up of leprosy patients attending our outpatient polyclinic in M. Djamil, Padang. The assay offers a sensitive and precise method for assessing the bacterial load and viability of M. leprae from nasal swab samples. It can be used for treatment response monitoring and early diagnosis.
