Abstract

Background: Reticulate acropigmentations of Kitamura (RAPK) is an autosomal dominant inherited disorder characterized by pigmented, angulated, irregular freckle-like lesion with atrophy on the surface, arranged in a reticulate pattern on the dorsa of the hands and feet. It was first described by Kitamura and Akamatsu in Japan in 1943. The usual age of onset is the first and second decades of life. Palms and soles reveal pits and breaks in the epidermal ridge pattern. The histopathological examination show epidermal atrophy, digitate and filiform elongated rete ridges with clumps of heavy melanin pigmentation at their tips. Case: A 59-year-old male presented with asymptomatic and progressive brownish-black discoloration in a reticulate pattern on the dorsal aspect of his hands and feet. The lesions initially appeared when the patient was 45 years old. It was not preceded by any erythema or inflammation. There was no similar case in the family. Laboratory findings were within normal limits. Discussion: Skin biopsy taken from the dorsal of the hand and foot revealed hyperkeratosis, thinning of epithelium, filiform elongation of the rete ridges, increased melanocyte numbers in the basal layer, and lymphocyte infiltration in the dermis. Based on the clinical and histological findings he was diagnosed as RAPK. From some reports, sporadic cases without the involvement of other family members may occur, like our patient. Palms and soles involvement in RAPK is still debated, some considered it as a characteristic sign of this disorder while others refuted it.

Abstract

Burns are often seen in clinics or hospitals. Majority of burns are minor burns, which can be managed in outpatient setting with satisfactory result. The healing outcome depends on physician’s knowledge and competencies in burn pathogenesis and basic principles of burn care. Initial treatment of burns consists of emergency evaluation, assessment of depth and severity of burns and considerations for referral. The principles of minor wound therapy include cooling, cleansing, pain management, and topical therapy. Recently, many topical agents are available and indicated for first to second degree burn. Silver sulfadiazine (SSD) is the standard treatment; however, it has some limitations. Scientific evidences showed that topical antibiotics do not reduce the incidence of local infection, invasive infection, and mortality of infection. Burns heal faster with hydrogel dressings and some other dressings compared to SSD. There are insufficient evidences to support the use of aloe vera, honey, and negative pressure wound therapy in burns. Moist exposed burn ointment (MEBO®) has been demonstrated to have equal efficacy to SSD.

Abstract

Introduction: Juvenile xanthogranuloma (JXG) is an uncommon benign cutaneous fibrohistiocytic, self-healing, class II non-Langerhan’s cell histiocytosis (NLCH). JXG accounts for 80-90% of cases of NLCH. It occurs most commonly on the head and neck of infants and young children and resolves spontaneously. Case: A one year-old boy presented with asymptomatic, multiple yellowish, shiny, and firm nodules with telangiectasia on the surface, measuring around 1 centimeter in diameter, on the face, the trunk, the arms, and lower extremities. The first lesion appeared on the face 8 months prior to consultation then spread gradually to other areas. He was referred from another hospital and was diagnosed as molluscum contagiosum (MC) with differential diagnosis of syringoma. Enucleation had been performed but failed to produce the molluscum bodies. Initial histopathological examination provided the diagnosis of syringoma. The second histopathological examination showed dermal inflammatory cells consisting of eosinophils, lymphocytes, and histiocytes with marked foam cells and giant cells. Eccrine sweat glands were normal. Some lesions decreased in size at subsequent follow-ups; observation was advised until 3-6 years. Discussion: JXG should be suspected in cases with multiple yellowish nodules appearing in the first year of life. MC usually presents with whitish papules, whereas syringoma is more rarely appeared, presenting with yellow-to-brownish papules. Histopathological examination can easily differentiate the suspected diagnoses; however, selection of lesion, timing and complete clinical information was crucial in reaching the final diagnosis. In this case there was a good clinicopathological correlation that the diagnosis of JXG was made with certainty. There was no eye and other organ abnormalities.

Abstract

Introduction: Systemic contact dermatitis (SCD) is a systemic reactivation of a previous allergic contact dermatitis. The initial exposure may usually be topical, followed by oral, intravenous or inhalation exposure leading to a systemic hypersensitivity reaction. A case of a 27 year-old male with SCD due to nickel is reported Case Report: A 27 year-old male presented with recurrent pruritic eruption consist of deep seated vesicles on both palmar and left plantar since 6 months before admission. This complaint began after patient consumed excessive amounts of chocolate, canned food, and beans. The patient worked as a technician in a food factory. History of allergy due to nickel was acknowledged since childhood. The clinical presentation was diffuse deep seated vesicles, and multiple erythematous macules to plaques, with collarette scale. Patch test using the European standard showed a +3 result to nickel. The patient was diagnosed as systemic contact dermatitis due to nickel. The treatments were topical corticosteroid and patient education of avoidance of both contact and systemic exposure to nickel. The patient showed clinical improvement after 2 weeks. Discussion: SCD was diagnosed due to the history of massive consumption of food containing nickel in a patient who had initial sensitization to nickel, with clinical features and the patch test result. Advice to be aware of nickel and its avoidance is important in SCD management.

Abstract

Background: Mycoplasma hominis and Ureaplasma urealyticum are commonly involved in pathogenesis of bacterial vaginosis and non-specific genital infection, while doing vaginal douching also already known as predisposing factor. Methods: To evaluate the prevalence of Mycoplasma hominis and Ureaplasma urealyticum infection in female sex workers and its association with vaginal douching, we conducted a study through 180 female sex workers in East Jakarta, Indonesia. Vaginal fluid samples were collected from these women. It was revealed that most of the women used betel soap, baby soap, tooth paste, or herbal medicine as vaginal douching materials. The association of vaginal douching and prevalence of Mycoplasma hominis and Ureaplasma urealyticum was analyzed using cross sectional statistical methods. Results: There is a high prevalence of Mycoplasma hominis and Ureaplasma urealyticum infection (72%), but there are no association between vaginal douching practice and infection of Mycoplasma hominis and Ureaplasma urealyticum. Conclusions: The high prevalence of Mycoplasma hominis and Ureaplasma urealyticum infection in female sex workers in East Jakarta warrants a routine screening of these infections. Unusual1 materials used for vaginal douching in this study might cause the negative association between high prevalence of these bacteria with vaginal douching.

Abstract

Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a recurrent skin inflammation accompanied by itching. The incidence of AD is increasing worldwide. AD, which persists until elderly or with an onset during elderly, is known as senile AD. It has different prevalence and clinical features from other AD stages. Senile atopic dermatitis affects males more than females, which is different from other stages of AD. Skin manifestation of senile AD is similar with the adult stage of Hanifin-Rajka criteria, but can be atypical. The typical feature of senile AD is eczematous dermatitis around a free-lesion fossa. Other common clinical manifestations are erythroderma and non- specific chronic dermatitis. In the management of senile AD, changes related to aging process should be considered. Management of senile AD is complex, involves combined pharmacological treatment consists of topical and systemic agents, and non pharmacological aspects. Appropriate treatment considering effectiveness and safety will improve the quality of life of patients with senile AD.

Abstract

Disability is one of problems in leprosy or Morbus Hansen (MH), which can cause the patient loose his autonomy and may affect his social relationship with family and community. Disability occurs due to neurological inflammation that can manifest as silent neuritis (which develops without any pain). Silent neuritis can be recognized early with a routine prevention of disability (POD) assessment. A 19-year-old male patient was referred from a District General Hospital with a history of numbness and stiffness of his 4th and 5th fingers of his left hand since 1 month before admittance. The patient was refered by Community Health Center (CHC or PUSKESMAS) after a one year treatment and RFT. During his treatment at the CHC, no assessment of peripheral nerve or POD had ever been performed. The POD assessment at our hospital demonstrated sensory deficit at some points of assessment on both palms and reduced muscle strength of the first and 5th fingers in both hands. Nerve conduction velocity (NCV) performed at the outpatient of Neurology Department, showed multiple mononeuropathy MH with irreversible damage. Nerve damage is still considered reversible when it occurs less than 6 months. In this case, the silent neuritis was not detected early and there was delayed treatment; as showed by NCV which revealed a manifestation of irreversible nerve damage. Routine POD assessment may detect the condition and appropriate treatment may overcome the nerve damage.

Abstract

Vulvar lymphangioma is a rare case and often being misdiagnosed as genital wart. This acquired disorder manifests as dilatation of superficial lymph vessel due to obstruction. It is caused by urogenital infection and most often occurs following surgery and radiotherapy of cervical cancer. The diagnosis is established based on clinical and histopathological features. Treatment aimed to eliminate the cause of obstruction. This article reports two cases of vulvar lymphangioma found in our Hospital. First case was a 43-year-old female with a history of surgery and radiation for cervical cancer 10 years ago presented with vesicular skin lesion in genital area, oozing copious clear fluid since 4 years ago. There are multiple lenticular vesicles containing clear fluid in vulvar area accompanied with bilateral lymphedema of lower extremities. Histopathological features demonstrated dilated superficial lymph vessels. Second case was a 44-year-old female with enlargement of lower abdomen with vesicular lesion containing clear fluid in genital area since 3 years ago. Abdominal USG showed enlarged inguinal lymph node. Histopathological features demonstrated dilated superficial lymph vessels. The treatment for both cases were gradual electrosurgery. In both cases,vulvar dermis’ superficial lymph node dilatation caused the skin lesions. Obstruction of lymph vessel due to radiation and surgery for cervical cancer in the first case and of inguinal lymph node in the second case lead to increased lymphatic pressure in the dermis and later on the dilatations. The treatment in both cases using electrical excision produced good responses; however, we should be attentive on recurrent case.

Abstract

Atypical mycobacterial (AM) infection is caused by Mycobacterium species other than M.tuberculosis. AM skin infection has clinical manifestations that resemble M. tuberculosis infection and deep fungal infection. Laboratory workup is necessary to confirm the diagnosis. An 83-year old female came with a painful lump and swelling on her right lower extremity since three months before admission. Physical examination revealed a plaque consisting, of multiple erythematous and hyperpigmented papules and nodules, diffuse erythematous lesion, and shallow ulcers partially covered with pus and crust. Histopathological features showed tuberculoid granuloma. Direct test and periodic acid-Schiff (PAS) staining of the skin biopsy found no fungal element nor acid-fast bacilli (AFB). Culture and polymerase chain reaction (PCR)of M. tuberculosis were negative. The working diagnosis was atypical mycobacterial infection and treatment with 450 mg rifampicin and 100 mg minocycline daily were administered accordingly. In two months observation following the treatment, the pain was no longer exist, the ulcers were completely healed, and some nodules were in the process of healing Among other Mycobacterium spp, M.marinum is the most common cause of AM infrections. Clinical manifestation of M. marinum infection may present as solitary or multiple nodules on the hands, feet, elbows and knees with sporotrichoid spreading patern. The diagnosis of AM was established based on clinical and laboratory examination. The diagnosis was also confirmed by good clinical response to minocycline and rifampicin.

Abstract

The use of dermoscopy in non-pigmented skin disorders includes dermoscopy as a diagnostic tool for non- pigmented skin tumors, inflammatory diseases (inflammoscopy) and/or infectious disease (entomodermoscopy), lesions on nail fold and as a tool to monitor skin reaction as a response to treatment and/or side effect. The diagnosis becomes easier, faster and less expensive with dermoscopy without the need for invasive procedures. Knowledge on vascular pattern and its architectural arrangement; which is coupled with additional dermoscopic features, can aid clinicians to the diagnosis. Dermatoscopy can also predict, monitor and evaluate therapeutical response and/or side effect of skin disorders. Nonetheless, dermoscopy has its limitations. Many of various non-pigmented disorders have more specific clinical features than dermoscopic ones, for clinicians to rely on to establish a diagnosis.
