Abstract

The important role of aeroallergens and food allergens as the most common environmental allergens in exacerbationof atopic dermatitis (AD) iswell known. Sensitization is an essential processwhich correlateswith clinicalmanifestationof AD. The study of AD in Indonesia, especially in Yogyakarta, has not been reported, yet. The aim of study is toevaluate the association between sensitization of environmental allergens with clinical severity of AD in children andyoung adult at Dr. Sardjito General Hospital, Yogyakarta. An analytic observational cross sectional study wasperformed on 33 children and young adult with AD. The severity of disease was determined by SCORing AtopicDermatitis (SCORAD). Assessment of sensitization was performed using specific IgE serum, atopy patch test, andprick test. Data were analyzed using chi-square or Fisher exact test and prevalence ratio (PR) with significancevalue of p<0.05 and 95%confidence interval (CI). The results showed that specific IgE positivity was associatedwith severity of AD. Percentage of specific IgE positivity to house dust mite was significantly higher in subject withmoderate/severe AD compared to those of mild AD (p=0.049; PR 1.13; 95% CI 1.01-1.59). The result was alsosimilar for cat dander (p=0.041; PR 1.1; 95%CI 1.09-4.98), cow’s milk (p=0.038; PR 1.21; 95% CI 1.02-2.2),and egg white (p=0.027; PR 1.23; 95% CI 1.15-2.97). Whereas specific IgE positivity to fish allergen was notstatistically different in subject with moderate/severe AD compared to those with mild AD (p=0.061; PR 0.8; 95%CI 0.76-2.8). According to atopy patch test and prick test result, no association was found between allergensensitization and severity of AD. If allmethodswere combined to increase the sensitivity of sensitizationmeasurement,then the association was found for all allergens. It could be concluded that environmental allergens sensitization isassociated with severity of AD in children and young adult at Dr. Sardjito General Hospital, Yogyakarta.Key words: atopic dermatitis-disease severity-sensitization-aeroallergen-food allergen

Abstract

Abstrak Latar Belakang: Psoriasis merupakan gangguan inflamasi sistemik kronis dan rekuren yang mempengaruhi 2-3% populasi. Patogenesis psoriasis melibatkan neutrofil, limfosit, trombosit, sitokin dan kemokin. Penentuan derajat keparahan psoriasis tipe plak yang sering digunakan adalah Psoriasis Area Severity Index (PASI) memiliki kelemahan yaitu subyektivitas antar pemeriksa. Rasio neutrofil limfosit (N/L) dan rasio trombosit limfosit (T/L) adalah penanda sederhana respon inflamasi sistemik yang mudah diukur dan murah sebagai bagian dari pemeriksaan darah rutin dan umum digunakan dalam penyakit inflamasi kronis. Tujuan: mengetahui perbedaan dan hubungan antara rasio N/L dan rasio T/L dengan derajat keparahan psoriasis tipe plak berdasarkan PASI. Metode: Penelitian menggunakan rancangan potong lintang dengan subyek telah memenuhi kriteria inklusi dan eksklusi. Analisis komparatif dan korelatif digunakan untuk menilai perbedaan dan hubungan kedua rasio dengan skor PASI. Hasil: Jumlah subyek penelitian 48 orang dibagi menjadi 3 kelompok psoriasis (derajat ringan, sedang dan berat). Terdapat perbedaan antara rasio N/L dan rasio T/L dengan derajat keparahan psoriasis tipe plak (p<0,05). Terdapat hubungan antara rasio N/L dan rasio T/L dengan derajat keparahan psoriasis tipe plak berdasarkan PASI (p<0,05 dan r: 0,550, r: 0,314). Kesimpulan: terdapat perbedaan dan hubungan antara rasio N/L dan rasio T/L dengan derajat keparahan psoriasis tipe plak berdasarkan PASI. Kata Kunci: rasio neutrofil limfosit, rasio trombosit limfosit, psoriasis tipe plak, psoriasis area severity index (PASI)

Abstract

Background: This paper reports a segmental Stiff Skin Syndrome (SSS) case in a four-year-old girl.  SSS is a rare disease characterized by skin hardening and joint stiffness due to a mutation of the fibrillin-1 (FBN-1) gene encoding the fibrillin protein. The effective therapies for this disease are limited. Case Report: The patient presented with hardened skin and a limping gait.  Clinically, there were hard, hyperpigmented patches with hypertrichosis on the skin of the left femur and left gluteal. The left coxae and left genu joint were in fixed flexion, causing a limping gait. The SSS histology revealed thickened collagen fibers, trapping adipocytes between them, but no inflammatory cells.  The UV-A phototherapy and physiotherapy session resulted in a modest improvement. Discussion: This case's segmental SSS diagnosis was based on clinical and histological findings. Establishing a diagnosis of SSS is a challenge for clinicians because it can resemble other skin disorders, particularly sclerosing diseases. The recommended management for SSS remains limited. In this case, after the UV-A phototherapy and physiotherapy, complaints of hardened skin were said to soften.
