Abstract

Abstract Background: Leprosy is a chronic infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium leprae (M. leprae). Distribution of leprosy cases in the world in 2015 was highest in the Southeast Asia region, with 156,118 cases. The increase in new cases and the high prevalence of leprosy requires action to break the chain of transmission. Household contact groups are easy to identify by the research group, because the group has good reasons for examining or getting chemoprophylaxis. Objectives: Our objective was to compare Phenolic Glycolipid 1 (PGL-1) antibody levels in household contacts of pausibasilary (PB) and multibacilary (MB) patients. Methods: This study was a analytic observational study with a cross-sectional design. ELISA examination will be conducted at the Leprosy Laboratory of the Institute of Tropical Diseases, Airlangga University, Surabaya. The study was conducted from 3 December 2019 to 31 January 2020, with a total sample of 60 samples. Resuls: PGL-1 antibodies in MB leprosy household contact were greater than PGL-1 antibodies in PB leprosy household contact, and the results showed statistically significant (p = 0.011). Conclusions: There are differences in the levels of PGL-1 antibodies between household contact PB leprosy patients and MB. The household contact PGL-1 antibody levels in MB leprosy are greater than PB leprosy.

Abstract

The Human epithelium, including the epidermis produces antimicrobial peptide (AMP)as part of innate immunity. Cathelicidin and human β-defensins are the most AMPfound on the skin. This antimicrobial peptide has a role in the response of the naturalimmune system by becoming the front line of the defense system against infection. Thediscussion of this literature review will focus on cathelicidin and human β-defensin-1which are the main AMPs that affect atopic dermatitis and psoriasis. Antimicrobialpeptides are excessively produced in lesional psoriatic scales or rosacea in contrast tothe atopic skin that shows lower AMP levels when compared with psoriasis. Despitethe impaired skin barrier which facilitates potentially pathogenic microbes to colonizethe epidermis, patients with psoriasis surprisingly present a low frequency of skininfections, whereas patients with atopic dermatitis are predominantly susceptible toparticular cutaneous bacterial, fungal and viral infections. One possible explanation ofthe fact is the difference in the expression of AMPs. DA patients have fewer AMPexpression characteristics, especially cathelicidins LL-37 and HBD-2. Research onantimicrobial use can help reduce pathogen colonization so that clinical improvementof AD occurs. In the case of psoriasis, AMP expression increases, especially LL-37 andHBD-2, showing synergistic antimicrobial activity that is effective in eradicatingmicrobial colonization, so there is no strong evidence to support antibiotic use intreating psoriasis or in preventing disease.
