Abstract

Background: Condylomata accuminata (CA) is a sexually transmitted infection caused by the Human Papillomavirus (HPV), which has more than 40 subtypes classified into high and low risks. The incidence of coinfection involving HPVs in genitalia varies between 2%–71%. Coinfection events increase in immunosuppressed patients. Purpose: To know the types of HPV in CA lesions and the risk factors of a high and low-risk HPV coinfection. Case: A 45-year-old woman presented with genital warts appeared three weeks before. The patient had a breast cancer history and undergone chemotherapy. The examination revealed multiple papules with verrucous surface, firm borders, with whitish color around the urethra and on the vaginal wall. Acetowhite test was positive. The biopsy examination showed squamous epithelium arranged to form papils and foci suspected as koilocytes suggesting CA. The Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) rapid test, VDRL (Venereal Disease Research Laboratory) and TPHA (Treponema Pallidum Haemagglutination) examinations showed non-reactive results. The HPV deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) genotyping test showed positive results for HPV type 56 (High-Risk Genotypes) and HPV type 6 (Low-Risk Genotypes). She was treated with electrosurgery and consulted to the urology department. Discussion: Coinfection of HPVs might cause a persistent HPV infection for a longer duration, as well as the risk of developing into cancerous lesion. The mechanism of high-risk and low-risk HPV coinfection in immunosuppressed individuals might be due to faster replication of the virus or reactivation of a latent infection. Conclusion: Coinfection of 2 types of HPV could happen in immunosuppression condition such as in patient undergone chemotherapy.

Abstract

Background: Photoaging is an early skin aging process caused by sun exposure. Sunscreen is effective as a primary photo-protection to protect the skin from the dangers of ultraviolet radiation (UV) sunlight. However, sunscreen is often used in the wrong manner, so that it can reduce the effectiveness of the work of sunscreen. Purpose: To describe the knowledge and the practice of sunscreen usage among medical students of Universitas Airlangga and find out the relationship between the knowledge and the practice of sunscreen usage. Methods: This study is an analytic-observational study. Data were collected through questionnaire sheets that distributed to medical students of Universitas Airlangga class of 2016, 2017, and 2018. The results were analyzed using the Spearman test with a significance level of 1%. Result: Obtained total respondents that fulfilled the inclusion criteria were 159 respondents, with 88.68% were female and 11.32% were male. Based on Fitzpatrick skin type, 55.97% respondents found with skin type-IV. There were 59.12% respondents got score of knowledge in the medium category and 64.78% respondents got score of practice also in the medium category. Based on analytic statistic correlation test between knowledge and practice of sunscreen usage, known that the significance value is equal to 0,006 with coefficient correlation is equal to 0.216. Conclusion: The knowledge and the practice of sunscreen usage among medical students of Universitas Airlangga is already in a fairly good range. There is a parallel relationship between the knowledge and the practice of sunscreen usage among medical students of Universitas Airlangga but with a low level of correlation strength.
