Abstract

Psoriasis is a chronic, immune-mediated disorder that results from a polygenic predisposition. Nitric oxide (NO) has been considered as important factors in the pathogenesis of psoriasis. This study aims to determine the correlation of serum NO levels with the type and severity of psoriasis. This cross-sectional study was conducted from May to September 2018. Difference in the average of serum NO levels in psoriasis patients with control groups is analyzed using t-test. The Spearman correlation test was used to see the correlation of serum NO levels with type and severity of psoriasis measured by Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) score. There was significant difference between serum NO level in the control group compared to the group of psoriasis patients (p=0.037). Patient with generalized pustular psoriasis has the highest mean of NO level (59.07 µmol/L). There was no significant correlation between serum NO level with type (r=0.008, p=0.9710 and severity (r=0.157, p=0.486) of psoriasis. Nitric oxide levels are elevated in psoriasis patients, which indicate that oxidative stress plays an important role in the etiopathogenesis of psoriasis.

Abstract

Marjolin’s ulcer is a malignant complication of chronic ulcer. Changes in ulcer lesions to malignancy can be caused by chronic irritation, infection, decreased vascular variation, and increased expression of proto-oncogene. The most common histopathological form of Marjolin's ulcer is squamous cell carcinoma. A 55-year-old man, complaining of a protruding wound on his left hand that has not healed since three years ago. The patient was diagnosed with leprosy 30 years ago with a history of incomplete treatment. On physical examination, the left palmar region showed solitary ulcer, ±10x8x1.5 cm in size, nodular surface, reddish, hard consistency, with bulging and irregular edge. Slit-skin smear (SSS) examination with Ziehl-Neelsen staining found abundant acid-fast bacilli. Histopathological examination of the ulcer edge shows appearance of epithelial tumor, with differentiated epidermal cells invading the dermis, tumor cells arranged focally and concentrically with a mass of keratin appeared as horn pearl cells. Fite-Faraco staining found abundant M. leprae acid-fast bacilli. Based on the patient’s medical history and clinical examination, patient was diagnosed with Marjolin's ulcer in multibacillary (MB) leprosy. Patient was treated with MB multidrug therapy for 12 months and below-wrist amputation.

Abstract

Background: Molluscum contagiosum is an infectious disease of the skin caused by poxvirus. The virus may be transmitted through direct skin and mucous membrane contact, including sexual contact, and through contaminated fomites. The prevalence of sexually transmitted molluscum contagiosum has increased in recent years. This disease causes anxiety and discomfort for the patients. Diagnosis of molluscum contagiosum is made based on history taking, physical examination, dermoscopic examination, and histopathological examination. Proper diagnosis and management can help to reduce risk of recurrence. Case: A 26-year-old woman with main complaint of developing shiny white rashes on her thighs and buttocks since 3 months ago. The nodules felt itchy yet painless. At first, only 4 papules appeared on the buttocks. In the last month, the nodules multiplied and spread to the thighs. The patient had tried to squeeze the nodule and rice-like white mass came out. The patient had history of unprotected sexual intercourse. Dermatological examination on the right and left femoral regions and the gluteus, found that there were discrete, multiple shiny white pearl-like papules of 0.1-0.5 cm in size, smooth surface, well-defined, dome-shaped, umbilicated with caseous plug. Dermoscopic examination showed a white to yellow polylobular appearance with crown vessel. Histopathological examination showed an appearance of intracytoplasmic eosinophil inclusion bodies (molluscum bodies). Discussion: Clinical findings such as discrete multiple, pearl-colored, umbilicated dome-shaped papules, are characteristic features of molluscum contagiosum. Dermoscopic examination results and histopathological images also support the diagnosis of molluscum contagiosum. Treatment was carried out using curettage on the lesions and prescription of oral cimetidine 2x800 mg for 2 months. No recurrence was found after 5 months of follow-up

Background: Candidiasis is caused by Candida sp. infection, mainly Candida albicans. The skin, mucous membranes, nails, and digestive tract are organs that can be affected by this infection. The risk of infection is higher in immunocompromised individuals. Objective: To determine the profile of candidiasis patients in Dr. Moewardi Hospital Surakarta between January 2016-December 2019. Method: This is a retrospective, descriptive study that evaluate the distribution of sex, age, primary diagnosis, comorbidities, and candidiasis type among candidiasis patients in RSUD Dr. Moewardi. Results: During study period, there were 177 candidiasis patients (147 outpatients and 30 inpatients). Pseudohyphae was seen in all inpatients’ KOH test. Majority of the patients are women (77,97%), age distribution varies between outpatients and inpatients. Cutaneous candidiasis was found in 53,74% outpatients and 66,67% inpatients.

Abstract

Chromoblastomycosis is a deep fungal infection of the skin and subcutaneous tissue caused by pigmented or dematiaceous fungi. This disease is endemic in tropical and subtropical regions such as Asia, Africa, and Latin America. Chromoblastomycosis is more common in adult men who work in agricultural areas, work as gardeners, or as carpenters. The diagnosis of chromoblastomycosis is confirmed by the finding of muriform cells or medlar bodies obtained from skin scrapings, microscopic culture, or tissue histopathological examination. The clinical feature varies, the initial lesion is a papule that spreads slowly over several months or years, and then this lesion will form a plaque with atrophic center. Many patients go undiagnosed at the early stage of the disease because this stage is rarely seen. Treatment of chromoblastomycosis includes surgery for the initial lesion and pharmacological therapy using antifungal agent such as itraconazole, the most commonly used drug for the treatment of chromoblastomycosis. The prognosis for chromoblastomycosis is poor, except on new lesions.
