Abstract

Background: Superficial dermatomycosis is one of the most prevalent skin diseases worldwide. The diagnosis of  superficial dermatomycosis is established clinically, and supported by several examinations, such as microscopic examination, fungal culture, and Wood's lamp examination for certain species. Purpose: This study is to evaluate the improvement of the knowledge of general practitioners and medical analysts after education and workshop. Methods: This cross-sectional observational study involved 70 subjects, consisting of 35 general practitioners and 35 medical analysts from 35 public health centers in Bojonegoro who were willing to participate in this study. The level of knowledge was assessed before and after the health education on laboratory examination for the diagnosis of superficial dermatomycosis. Result: There was a significant difference in mean scores between the pre-test and post-test after health education (p = <0.001). The mean knowledge score of the pre-test before intervention among general practitioners was 36.57 ± 19.088, which increased to 68.00 ± 13.240, and the mean knowledge score before intervention among analysts was 27.14 ± 13.842, which increased to 62.00 ± 12.078 after health education intervention. Conclusion: Following health education, there was an improvement in the healthcare workers's knowledge of laboratory examinations for the diagnosis of superficial dermatomycosis

Abstract

Background: World Health Organization (WHO) reported that there are 6 million new cases of syphilis worldwide per year. The incidence of syphilis in Indonesia has increased over the past few years, particularly among men who have sex with men (MSM). Purpose: To report a case of secondary syphilis with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) coinfection in MSM, thereby increasing understanding of high-risk sexual behavior among MSM. Case: A 26-year-old man with a chief complaint of rashes on both palms, soles of the feet, and face. The rashes spread with no itching, heat, or pain, which occurred two weeks ago. The patient was diagnosed with HIV in 2019. Physical examination found multiple violaceus macules with clear boundaries, 0.5–1 cm in size, covered with scales. Venereal Disease Research Laboratory (VDRL) serology titer was 1:16 and Treponema Pallidum Haemagglutination Assay (TPHA) was 1:20.480. The recent CD4 count was 440 with an undetectable HIV RNA viral load. Benzathine penicillin G 2.4 million units was given intramuscularly 3 times at 1-week intervals. The patient experienced clinical improvement and decreased VDRL and TPHA titers. Discussion: Syphilis patients with or without HIV would have similar clinical symptoms. However, syphilis patients with HIV tend to have more extensive lesions. The treatment option with three doses of benzathine penicillin G is still very effective in cases of syphilis with HIV. Conclusion: Syphilis has a higher incidence in MSM patients with extensive clinical manifestations of skin lesions. It can be observed in syphilis patients with HIV; therefore, close monitoring is needed.
