Abstract

Klorokuin dan hidroksiklorokuin kerap digunakan sebagai tatalaksana berbagai penyakit autoimun, infeksi malaria, dan kini menjadi salah satu obat penanggulangan darurat Coronavirus Disease-19 (COVID-19). Kedua obat ini berpotensi sebagai antiinflamasi dan antivirus. Namun penggunaannya sering menimbulkan berbagai efek samping seperti pada jantung, saraf, saluran pencernaan, dan juga mata. Efek samping pada mata dapat berupa toksisitas retina yang dapat berakhir menjadi retinopati ireversibel. Guna menghindari cacat permanen, diperlukan pencegahan yang tepat dengan mengenali faktor risiko dan skrining, serta pemantauan ketat penggunaan obat.Chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine are often used as a treatment for autoimmune disease, malaria infection, and now become an emergency drug for Coronavirus Disease-19 (COVID-19). Both are potential anti-inflammatory and antiviral agents. However, potential various side effects to the heart, nerves, gastrointestinal tract, and also eyes must be considered. Side effects on the eyes are retinal toxicity which can end up as irreversible retinopathy. Proper prevention is needed by recognizing risk factors and screening, as well as strict monitoring of drug use.

Abstract

Background: Acne vulgaris is an inflammatory condition of the pilosebaceous glands caused by various factors including excessive excretion of sebaceous glands. Excess sebum can be reduced using oil blotting paper (OBP), a thin paper with microspores that absorb the oil on the face. This study was conducted to determine the association between OBP application and sebum excretion according to the Oily Skin Self- Assessment Scale (OSSAS) questionnaire and acne severity according to the Global Acne Grading System (GAGS) questionnaire. Methods: This experimental study was conducted in 2017 among 60 students aged 17–22 years at the Faculty of Medicine, Atma Jaya Catholic University of Indonesia, recruited by purposive sampling. Data on sebum excretion and the degree of AV severity before and after intervention were analyzed using the chi- square test with a significant level of p < 0.05. Results: Before intervention, 11 (18.3%) students had dry skin, 23 (38.3%) had slightly dry skin, 17 (28.4%) had slightly oily skin, and 9 (15%) had oily skin. The prevalence of AV was 100%, with 48 (80%) students having mild severity and the remaining having moderate severity. There was no effect of using OBP on sebum excretion (p = 0.211); however, an improvement was noted on GAGS raw data score (p < 0.001). Conclusion: AV is an inflammatory disease of the pilosebaceous glands, and one of the etiologies is excessive sebum excretion, which can be reduced using OBP. This study demonstrated that OBP application did not reduce sebum excretion statistically but could improve the severity of AV.
