Abstract

Background: Herpes zoster, or shingles, is a skin or mucous infection caused by the reactivation of varicella-zoster virus (VZV). Seasonal pattern of herpes zoster incidence was reported in some countries, indicating that emergence of this disease was caused by the reactivation of latent Varicella-Zoster Virus (VZV) rather than new exposures to VZV. On the other hand, the VZV primary infection difference between tropical and temperate zones may have implications for virus reactivation as herpes zoster. The aim of this study was  to identify the incidence of herpes zoster in Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital Bandung, West Java related to the change of rainfall, air temperature and humidity from 2009 to 2011.Methods: A descriptive retrospective study was carried out to 341 medical records of herpes zoster patients from Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital Bandung periode 2009 to 2011. Data on climate factors, i.e. rainfall, air temperature, and relative humidity, were obtained from the Indonesian Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysical Agency. The collected data were presented using tables and figures.Result: The highest number of herpes zoster cases occured during the period when the highest annually total rainfall and annually mean relative humidity occurred.Conclusions: The finding of this study shows that herpes zoster cases have the same pattern with the rainfall and relative humidity. These findings can inform better prevention of herpes zoster. However, further research is needed to get more comprehensive understanding on this relationship. DOI: 10.15850/amj.v2n3.591

Background: Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin disease characterized by alterations in epidermal growth and differentiation. Its primary cause remains unknown, and its clinical and histopathological characteristics sometimes change from time to time. The study aimed to reveal the clinical and histopathological characteristics among psoriasis patients in Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital Bandung.Methods: This study involved 162 medical records of psoriasis patients who visited the Department of Dermato-Venereology and 40 medical records of psoriasis patients who visited the Department of Pathological Anatomy of Dr. Hasan Sadikin Hospital, from 2009 to 2013. Medical record data were collected to describe the patient’s clinical and histopathological characteristics of psoriasis. The collected data were analyzed by frequency distribution.Results: From the clinical medical records, the characteristics found among the psoriasis patients were: 14 (8.6%) having familial history, 160 (98.8%) having reddish plaque, 155 (95.7%) having silvery scale, 40 (24.7%) having pustules, 6 (3.7%) having positive Auspitz sign, 48 (29.6%) having nail involvement, and 20 (12.4%) having tongue involvement. In addition, from the histopathological medical records, the characteristics of epidermis among the psoriasis patients found were: 36 (90%) having hyperkeratosis with parakeratosis, 39 (98%) having rete ridge elongation and/or acanthosis, 35 (88%) having Munro’s microabcess and/or micropustules of Kogoj, 15 (38%) having thin stratum granulosum, and 30 (75%) having blood vessels dilatation.Conclusions: In psoriasis, the most common clinical characteristics are reddish plaque while the most common histopathological characteristics are elongation of the rete ridges and/or acanthosis.
