Abstract

Background: Neurofibromatosis is a genetic disorder that manifests as a tumor surrounding the nerves and several other pathologic presentations. Case: Female, 11 years old, according to history, physical examination and supporting the investigation, was consistent with the diagnostic criteria of type 1 neurofibromatosis (NF-1). The patient also has an intellectual disability. A tumor on the foot region that was functionally disabling was found on the patient, and surgical treatment was performed. Cognitive disorder is the most common neurological complication in individuals with NF-1 and usually presents with a low intelligence quotient (IQ). There is no specific treatment to prevent the development of NF-1. However, early treatment can minimize and prevent further complications. Treatment for the patient involves multiple clinical disciplines. Conclusion: A neurofibromatosis case can be diagnosed clinically alone, since many other systemic involvements require a multi-disciplinary approach.

Abstract

Superficial fungal infections are one of the most common skin infection infections. It is caused by fungal pathogens and is limited to the outer layer of the skin, hair, and nails. Superficial fungal infections include dermatophytosis, superficial candidiasis, and diseases caused by Malassezia spp. Most physicians diagnose and treat superficial fungal infections based solely on clinical appearance. But unfortunately, there are many other infectious and non-infectious diseases with a similar clinical appearance. Dermoscopy is a practical and noninvasive imaging method that allows magnifying clinical surface images that are normally invisible under a magnifying lens. In diagnosing superficial mycosis, dermoscopy was more sensitive and specificity than potassium chloride (KOH) and fungal culture. More understanding is needed about the use of dermoscopy in diagnosing superficial fungal infections in the hope of providing an overview of superficial fungal infections and dermoscopy, as well as dermoscopy features in some superficial fungal infections. This article describes dermoscopic findings in various superficial fungal infections on the skin, hair, and nails.

Abstract

The number of new leprosy cases in the world is surprisingly high, Indonesia is still at the third rank in the term of new leprosy cases over the world. Leprosy control strategies can be successful if early diagnosis and appropriate therapy are carried out. Currently, several serological tests have been developed which can help detecting subclinical leprosy, making the diagnosis,and monitoring therapy. One such serological tests is the anti-Phenolic Glycolipid-1 (PGL-1) serological test. The antibody response to PGl-1 is mainly IgM, the amount of this antibody is correlated to the number of bacteria; so, the titer is higher in lepromatous type compared with tuberculoid type, this causes serological tests still have limitation in diagnosing leprosy, especially in paucibacillary type leprosy.

Abstract

Wound healing is a complex, natural biological, and dynamic process or loss of cellular structures, tissue layers, and replacing damaged tissue. Molecular responses, cellular components, and humoral components are healing process that occurs in hemostasis, including inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. In order to achieve good healing, these four steps must be performed in the right order and at the right time. In recent years, research has shown that simvastatin has pleiotropic properties that have been linked to improved wound healing in experimental animals and humans. However, higher-quality and evidence-based research is needed to determine the duration of treatment, the best method of administration, the correct dose, and to relate the pleiotropic properties of simvastatin to its potential therapeutic.

Abstract

Background: Close contacts may develop subclinical leprosy with no symptoms but with M. leprae in their blood. Zinc is said to help in the prevention of M. leprosy infection. This study aimed to determine the correlation between zinc (Zn) serum levels and IgM anti PGL-1 levels in household contacts of multibacillary type leprosy patients. Methods: This study is cross-sectional and involves 48 leprosy subjects (33 multibacillary leprosy household contact and 15 non-contact subjects). Subjects were selected based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Zinc and IgM anti PGL-1 levels were derived from venous blood examined with ELISA. Results: This study showed the mean serum zinc level of the contact groups of 60.88 ± 15.92 μg/dl and the non-contact group of 90.00 ± 7.61 μg / dl (p <0.001; CI 95%: 20.38 - 37.85). The median (interquartile range) serum levels of IgM anti PGL-1 in the contact groups was 613.00 (40 - 1433) u/ml and the non-contact groups was 99.00 (14 - 695) u/ml (p = 0.001; 95% CI: 154.162 – 610.116). The correlation analysis between serum zinc levels and IgM anti PGL-1 serum levels r= 0.644 (p<0.05). A high serum zinc level is a protective factor against high IgM anti PGL-1 levels in household contact with leprosy (PR: 0.47; 95% CI: 0.20-1.09). Conclusion: Zinc levels negatively correlate with IgM anti PGL-1 levels in subjects with household contact with multibacillary type leprosy. A high serum zinc level protects against high IgM anti PGL-1 levels.

Abstract

Introduction: Vitiligo is a chronic and asymptomatic skin depigmentation disorder due to progressive loss of melanocytes. Vitiligo can affect a patient’s psychological condition that causes disturbances in the quality of life. This study aims to identify factors affecting the quality of life (QoL) in vitiligo patients at Dermatology and Venereology Polyclinic Bali Mandara General Hospital. Research Methods: Cross-sectional study was conducted using Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) questionnaire given to vitiligo patients who came to the Dermatology and Venereology Polyclinic at Bali Mandara General Hospital Denpasar in January 2022. Results: Among the 71 respondents, seven respondents felt no impact, 33 respondents had a small impact, 18 respondents had a moderate impact, and 13 respondents had a very large impact on quality of life. There was a significant relationship between occupation and location of vitiligo with quality of life (p ≤0.05), and partially the location of vitiligo lesions had a significant effect on the quality of life (p ≤0.05). Conclusion: This study shows that vitiligo has a significant impact on quality of life. Relevant counseling and supportive therapy play an important role in the management of vitiligo patients

Abstract

Acne is a chronic inflammatory disorder affecting pilosebaceous unit with various clinical manifestation from comedone, papule, pustule, to nodule and cyst. Choice of treatment is based on acne severity. Prolong antibiotic use along with restriction of isotretinoin use in Indonesia can be a challenge in managing acne. A lot of treatment options from topical agent, systemic medication, comedone extraction, intralesional corticosteroid injection, chemical peeling, light and laser-based therapy, as well as diet modification can be used as an adjuvant to improve acne. Review of literatures was performed to present recent evidence toward the effectivity of adjuvant therapy as a part of acne management.

Abstract

Background: Pemphigus is an autoimmune disease with clinical manifestations of chronic intraepidermal bullae on the skin, mucosa, and loose walls.Pemphigus can be categorized into four types, namely pemphigus vulgaris (PV), pemphigus vegetans, pemphigus foliaceus, and paraneoplastic pemphigus. Pemphigus vulgaris is the most common form of with the highest epidemiology. Pemphigus vulgaris with abdominal tumors cannot be associated where abdominal tumors do not trigger the occurrence of PV. However, abdominal tumors can increase morbidity and provide poor prognosis. Case Description: A male, 46 years old, Balinese, Indonesian, came to the Sanglah Hospital Emergency Room with the chief complaint of painful sores around the body, hands, and feet since 20 days ago. Initially the patient said that there were loose, watery blister filled with serous fluid, which after a few days burst and left sores. The blister start on the feet and then spread to the hands and body. The patient was diagnosed with pemphigus vulgaris and abdominal tumors by the digestive surgery doctor. The patient had never had a similar complaint before. History of applying oil, traditional ingredients and topical drugs was denied. The patient was treated mainly with methylprednisolone and showed clinical improvement. Conclusion: We report a case of PV in a 46-year-old man with abdominal tumors. This case report is expected to add insight on how to diagnose PV, how to determine therapy, the wound healing process, how to treat wounds, prevent disease expansion, and the relationship between abdominal tumors and PV.

Abstract

Mucocutaneous manifestations are the first recognized human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infections. More than 90% of HIV-infected patients develop at least one or more types of typical or atypical skin lesions during the disease. Mucocutaneous manifestation can also indicate the progression of HIV infection and cluster of differentiation 4 (CD4) cell count as an indicator of the development of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). It is important to know mucocutaneous manifestations and their correlation with the patient’s immune status to provide appropriate treatment to improve the patient’s quality of life.

Abstract

Nowadays, artificial intelligence (AI) has been integrated into various sectors including dermatology. AI offers alternative diagnostic tools for skin cancer, especially for dermatologists who are not familiar with dermoscopy and when histopathology examinations are not available. Therefore, this paper provides a review of the role and development of AI, as well as its limitations in assisting the diagnosis of skin cancer. Artificial intelligence (AI) is a computer science aiming to produce a program mimicking human cognition to analyze complex data. AI in dermatology comes in a variety of programs, such as the integration of AI in smartphone applications. From several studies, AI helps to diagnose skin cancer as early as possible resulting in early treatment and offers a more objective examination than dermoscopy which is operator-dependent. AI helps to give dermatologists consideration to perform more invasive examinations such as biopsies as well as treatment recommendations that can be done. However, AI still can not replace the ability of doctors to integrate the patient’s medical history with findings obtained from the physical examination. This breakthrough is still at an early stage which requires the support of more research with collaboration between dermatologists and computer experts.
