Abstract

Chalazion is granulomatous inflammation with lipogranuloma or chronic non-infectious inflammation of the eyelids, in the form of nodules formed by inflammation and obstruction of the Meibomian Tarsal or Zeis glands. This chalazion often occurs in all age groups, but is more common in adults than children, and affects men and women equally. A chalazion usually appears as a painless swelling of the eyelid that has been present for weeks to months, which can cause cosmetic deformity in the patient. The priority management of chalazion to reduce existing complaints is conservative management. Some methods for conservative management in cases of chalazion include warm compresses, cleaning the eyelids with baby shampoo, and massaging the eyelids. If conservative management fails, patients can be treated with pharmacotherapy or surgery

Abstract

Erysipelas is an infection of the nonnecrotic superficial skin accompanied by lymphangitis. This infection will cause a clinical picture in the form of well-defined erythematous plaques. Most cases of erysipelas are caused by bacteria, most often the normal skin flora such as Streptococcus bacteria but erysipelas can also be caused by S. aureus and group C or G Streptococcus. Erysipelas can occur at any age. Erysipelas is closely related to the patient’s physical condition and cellular immune status which underlies or facilitates the occurrence of infections, including chronic systemic diseases suffered by these patients, such as diabetes mellitus, immunocompromised states. The lower extremities are the most common predilection for erysipelas. Most erysipelas patients come for treatment with the main complaint of swelling, redness, and pain experienced by the patient accompanied by other complaints such as burning and itching which are predisposing factors to the occurrence of this infection. The diagnosis of erysipelas is based on anamnesis, physical examination and laboratory tests. The management of erysipelas is the administration of antibiotics and wound care.
