Abstract

Background: Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a multifactorial chronic, frequently recurrent, inflammatory skin condition. The development of IgE-mediated food allergies and food sensitivity are both associated with atopic dermatitis. Cow’s milk allergy (CMA) caused the most common hypersensitivity reaction during childhood; however,  the prevalence in adults is around 0.5%. Patients with AD use the Skin Prick Test (SPT) to evaluate the specific sensitization process. Purpose: This study aimed to assess cow's milk allergy among adult AD patients using local allergen extract SPT, standard SPT, and specific IgE (sIgE), as well as evaluating the conformity and relevance of the test results. Methods: Using consecutive sampling technique, the study was conducted twice on 45 adult AD patients with a one-week interval between administrations. Result: Local cow's milk SPT showed 4 positive results, and standard SPT showed 5. No sIgE test was positive. Local SPT was negative for 86.67% of individuals without a history of suspected cow's milk allergies. Standard SPT results were positive for 2.22% of individuals with a history of suspected cow's milk allergies and negative for 86.67% of those without. The relevance between local and standard SPT was shown to be substantial (k = 0.384, p = 0.000). Conclusion: The result of the local cow’s milk SPT and the patient’s history had good conformity, and the relevance with standard SPT was significant in diagnosing cow’s milk allergy among AD patients.

Abstract

Background: Pediculosis capitis is one of the parasitic infections that can cause pruritus and allergic reactions. The prevalence of Pediculosis capitis is relatively high and can occur both in developed and developing countries regardless of socioeconomic status. The occurrence of Pediculosis capitis can be caused by poor personal hygiene factors and living environmental conditions, which can also increase the incidence of this ectoparasitic infection. Purpose: To analyze the correlation between personal hygiene and characteristics of the living environment, and the incidence of Pediculosis capitis. Methods: This study is quantitative research with a correlational analysis method and a cross-sectional study approach. Result: The examination of the correlation between poor personal hygiene and the incidence rate of Pediculosis capitis showed a result of 0.000 (p<0.05). Similarly, the examination of the correlation between the characteristics of the living environment and the incidence rate of Pediculosis capitis also showed a figure of 0.000 (p<0.05), indicating that there is a correlation between personal hygiene, and the characteristics of the living environment, and the incidence rate of Pediculosis capitis. Conclusion: There is a significant correlation between personal hygiene, and the characteristics of the living environment, and the incidence of Pediculosis capitis.
