Abstract

Background: Condylomata acuminata (CA) is a prevalent sexually transmitted infection (STI). Research into the risk factors and characteristics associated with CA is crucial for developing effective prevention strategies. This study aimed to determine the prevalence and characteristics of CA patients at Prof. Dr. I.G.N.G. Ngoerah General Hospital in Denpasar, Bali, Indonesia. Methods: A retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted using medical records of CA patients attending the STI and Dermatology Clinic at Prof. Dr. I.G.N.G. Ngoerah General Hospital, Denpasar, from January 2021 to December 2023. Data collected included patient visit status, age, gender, occupation, education, concomitant STIs, sexual orientation, marital status, and use of protective measures. Data were processed descriptively. Results: Of 284 CA patients, 69.7% were male and 30.3% were female. The mean age was 28.99 ± 11.38 years. Married individuals constituted 41.5% of cases. Private employees were the predominant occupation (34.2%). Fifty percent of patients had no concomitant STIs, while HIV was present in 37.7% of the total sample (75.4% of those with any concomitant STI). A significant proportion (49%) reported not using protective measures during sexual intercourse. Conclusion: The prevalence of CA at Prof. Dr. I.G.N.G. Ngoerah General Hospital, Denpasar, was 40 per 1000 visits during the study period. CA was predominantly observed in adult males who were married, heterosexual, had completed high school, worked as private employees, and did not use protective measures during sexual intercourse. These findings underscore the need for targeted public health interventions.

Abstract

Background: Generalized pustular psoriasis (GPP) is a severe, IL-36-driven autoinflammatory dermatosis, distinct from psoriasis vulgaris. Chronic periodontitis (CP) is a dysbiotic inflammatory disease sharing pathogenic pathways (IL-1, IL-17). An "oral-skin axis" has been hypothesized, but definitive clinical evidence of CP driving a GPP flare is scarce. Case presentation: We present a 37-year-old male with a history of plaque psoriasis who developed a severe, refractory GPP flare (GPPASI 35.8) with high-grade fever (38.9°C), profound neutrophilic leukocytosis (22.5 x 10³/µL), and markedly elevated CRP (150 mg/L). The flare was resistant to maintenance methotrexate. Workup revealed severe CP with multiple periapical abscesses, culture from which grew Porphyromonas gingivalis and Fusobacterium nucleatum. The patient underwent a comprehensive dental intervention, including emergency extractions and full-mouth debridement, with concurrent peri-operative Amoxicillin-Clavulanate therapy. This combined intervention led to a rapid resolution of fever, neutrophilia, and cutaneous pustulation within 72 hours, without any escalation of systemic immunomodulators. He achieved complete remission (GPPASI 1.0) at 3-month follow-up. Conclusion: This case provides a strong temporal association supporting the oral-skin axis, highlighting severe periodontitis as a potent trigger and amplifier for GPP. The rapid resolution following a combined surgical and antibiotic intervention suggests that targeting the oral inflammatory and microbial reservoir is a critical, actionable strategy. We strongly recommend consideration of a comprehensive dental/oral screening in patients with refractory GPP.
