Abstract

Background: Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a multifactorial chronic, frequently recurrent, inflammatory skin condition. The development of IgE-mediated food allergies and food sensitivity are both associated with atopic dermatitis. Cow’s milk allergy (CMA) caused the most common hypersensitivity reaction during childhood; however,  the prevalence in adults is around 0.5%. Patients with AD use the Skin Prick Test (SPT) to evaluate the specific sensitization process. Purpose: This study aimed to assess cow's milk allergy among adult AD patients using local allergen extract SPT, standard SPT, and specific IgE (sIgE), as well as evaluating the conformity and relevance of the test results. Methods: Using consecutive sampling technique, the study was conducted twice on 45 adult AD patients with a one-week interval between administrations. Result: Local cow's milk SPT showed 4 positive results, and standard SPT showed 5. No sIgE test was positive. Local SPT was negative for 86.67% of individuals without a history of suspected cow's milk allergies. Standard SPT results were positive for 2.22% of individuals with a history of suspected cow's milk allergies and negative for 86.67% of those without. The relevance between local and standard SPT was shown to be substantial (k = 0.384, p = 0.000). Conclusion: The result of the local cow’s milk SPT and the patient’s history had good conformity, and the relevance with standard SPT was significant in diagnosing cow’s milk allergy among AD patients.

Abstract

Erythroderma or generalized exfoliating dermatitis is an inflammatory disease characterized by erythema and thickened scales. A woman, 34 years old, was consulted with complaints of red spots accompanied by blisters and peeling skin almost all over her body for 4 days. Complaints are accompanied by itching and burning sensations. The patient had experienced complaints like this 5 months ago and had been treated at three different hospitals. Physical examination found in the facial region, thorax, superior and inferior right and left extremities, erythematous patches with diffuse borders, thick scales, erosions, and a generalized distribution. The patient's fingernails were found to have a change in shape (pitting nails). Examination of the ANA profile was negative, IgE atopy did not show an allergic reaction to a specific allergen, and histopathological examination was within normal limits. The patient was diagnosed with erythroderma based on psoriasis vulgaris. Treatment includes injection of methylprednisolone, cetirizine 10 mg tablets, and wound care with wet gauze and topical cream. After giving therapy, the patient's clinical improvement. Erythroderma occurs because of an underlying condition and cannot be prevented by itself. Erythroderma because of an underlying inflammatory skin condition usually resolves with treatment but can recur at any time. Overall, the prognosis for erythroderma depends on the underlying cause and is generally good if the underlying disease can be treated effectively.

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Probiotics may modify the gut microbiome and have been proven to improve psoriasis vulgaris. Lactiplantibacillus plantarum IS-10506 is a probiotic strain of Indonesian origin. It offers a safe and effective probiotic for psoriasis patients in Indonesia. This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of L. plantarum IS-10506 on clinical and immunology markers in psoriasis vulgaris.METHODS: This randomized, placebo-controlled, and double-blind trial compared L. plantarum IS-10506 (2×1010 CFU/day) and placebo in 49 patients mild-moderate psoriasis vulgaris, which were divided into intervention (n=24) and control groups (n=25). The interventions were given twice daily for 12 weeks. Both groups received topical corticosteroid and emollient as standard treatment. Psoriasis area and severity index (PASI), dermatology life quality index (DLQI), interleukin (IL)-10, IL-17, and forkhead box protein (Foxp3) were then assessed.RESULTS: Mean PASI score for the the subjects in probiotic group was significantly reduced compared to placebo at week-6 (p=0.024), and was sustained until week-12 (p=0.049). At week-12, DLQI scores in the probiotic group were lower than placebo (7.57±5.77 vs. 7.79±5.48). IL-17 level was significantly decreased (p=0.013), while the IL-10 and Foxp3 were significantly increased (p≤0.001 and p=0.048, respectively) in probiotic group. Six months after the completion of study, subjects in probiotic group had a lower probability of flares (52.2%) compared to placebo (79.2%). Two subjects receiving probiotics and one receiving placebo noticed changes in defecation frequency, while another subject in the placebo group complained of mild nausea.CONCLUSION: L. plantarum IS-10506 might effectively improve clinical outcomes and immune biomarkers in psoriasis vulgaris patients, potentially acting as an adjuvant therapy.KEYWORDS: psoriasis, probiotic, clinical severity, immune marker, human and health
