Abstract

Background: Scabies is a neglected tropical disease in which people affected primarily presents with intense pruritus. The disease is often recurrent, especially in people living in close contacts, such as in a community; thus, it negatively impacts their quality of life (QoL).This study analyzes the impact of pruritus in scabies on the QoL of patients living in a public boarding school (PBS) in West Java, Indonesia. Methods: This study is a mixed-method study conducted on 39 subjects. TheQoL was examined using the Indonesian version of the dermatology life quality index (DLQI) questionnaire and in-depth interviews.Results: Most subjects were female, grade 9 students, had a duration of symptoms between six months to one year, had been infected more than twice, and with no family member affected by the same symptoms. We found that sex, duration of symptoms, disease frequency, and affected family members did not significantly affect subjects’ QoL. In-depth interviews revealed that pruritus affected social relationships, quality of learning, and sleeping.Conclusion: Holistic and comprehensive community management is needed to treat and prevent scabies transmission, as its symptoms negatively impact the QoL of students in PBS. Keywords: pruritus, boarding school, QoL, scabies

Abstract

Background: Ulcus vulvae acutum, also known as Lipschütz ulcer, is a rare condition characterized by multiple, painful, and acute genital ulceration in young women without venereal infections, associated with systemic symptoms like malaise, fever, and inguinal lymphadenopathy. Case Illustration: A 24-year-old woman developed multiple and painful vulvar ulcers that recurred for almost a year. The patient was primarily diagnosed and treated as genital herpes in several hospitals with only slight improvement and no complete healing. The patient came to our hospital for examinations to rule out sexually-transmitted infection (STI) (genital herpes, syphilis, HIV, and chancroid) and possibility of Behçet’s. The patient was treated with a combination of 2.5% lidocaine and 2.5% prilocaine creams for 1 week, 2% fusidic acid ointment for 1 week, with no significant progression. Later, the therapy was changed to 0.05% clobetasol propionate ointment for 10 days. Complete healing occurred in about 10 weeks with no scarring. Discussion: Diagnosis of ulcus vulvae acutum in this patient was made by excluding other differential diagnoses. Conclusion: Ulcus vulvae acutum is a difficult diagnosis, and clinician should be aware of this entity especially when encountering young woman without previous sexual experience problem with ulcer. Keywords: ulcus vulvae acutum, genital ulcer, young women
