Abstract

Background: Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic recurrent skin disease that is very complex due to impaired skin barrier function in the form of xerosis, chronic eczematous lesions, and itching, commonly found in infants and children. Pathogenesis is thought to be the interaction of genetic factors, immune dysfunction, epidermal barrier dysfunction, and the role of the environment and infectious agents. Approach the disease by performing etiopathogenesis algorithms, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, and treatment. Based on the 2013 Asia-Pacific consensus, AD management guidelines using the 5-pillar principle have long been used. Currently, the European consensus in 2018 has developed new guidelines for AD management. Purpose: To provide an updated treatment for AD. Review: The ethiopathogenesis of AD is influenced by genetics, skin barrier disorders, and immune response disorders. Updated management of the European consensus in 2018 includes education, avoidance of precipitating factors, psychosomatic counseling, optimization of skin barrier function with moisturizers, anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial administration, allergen-specific immunotherapy, complementary and alternative drugs, phototherapy, and controlling the itch-scratch cycle with anti-itch in pediatric and adult AD patients. AD may affect patients’ quality of self-esteem. In general, patients expect higher. Conclusion: AD affects the psychosocial aspects of patients. Updated management of AD adequately improves the quality of life.

Abstract

Background: Isotretinoin, a first-generation nonaromatic retinoid approved in 1973 for severe nodulocystic acne treatment in the United States, has historically been associated with mucocutaneous adverse events. Case: The case involves a 22-year-old male with chronic plaque psoriasis who, after eight weeks of isotretinoin use, experienced swelling, pain, and bleeding in the periungual area of multiple fingers. Dermoscopic examination and follow-up assessments, including images, demonstrate the progression and eventual complete resolution of the periungual pyogenic granuloma following discontinuation of isotretinoin and topical application of fusidic acid and betamethasone combination. Discussion: The discussion delves into potential mechanisms linking isotretinoin to increased skin fragility and granulation tissue development, drawing on insights from experts like Baran and Piraccini. Additionally, we explore the role of angiogenic factors, particularly vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), in the context of psoriasis and its potential contribution to the development of pyogenic granuloma, with the aim of providing a comprehensive understanding of the underlying processes leading to this unique adverse event. Conclusion: In conclusion, this case report underscores the importance of recognizing and promptly addressing rare adverse events associated with medication errors. The successful resolution of the periungual pyogenic granuloma highlights the significance of timely intervention and appropriate management strategies in mitigating adverse outcomes.

Abstract

Background: Atopic dermatitis is a chronic inflammatory skin disease that commonly begins during childhood. Most atopic dermatitis patients may experience symptoms that continue into adulthood. Itching is the characteristic symptom of atopic dermatitis. Over time, patients’ itching can lead to sleep disturbances. In fact, every human being requires sleep to maintain the balance of metabolism, calories, temperature, and immunity. If a person often lacks sleep, the risk of obesity, type 2 diabetes mellitus, hypertension, heart disease, stroke, deterioration of mental health, and premature death will increase. Purpose: To analyze the relationship between the severity of atopic dermatitis and sleep quality in Widya Mandala Surabaya Catholic University (WMSCU) teaching hospital patients. Methods: This is an analytic study with a cross-sectional research design. This study used the purposive sampling technique as its sampling method. A dermatologist used the Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI) instrument, to assess the severity of atopic dermatitis in the samples, and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) questionnaire to assess their sleep quality. Result: The Mann-Whitney test showed a p value of 0.348 (p> 0.05). Conclusion: There is no significant relationship between the severity of atopic dermatitis and sleep quality in WMSCU teaching hospital patients.

Abstract

Background: Scabies is a highly contagious skin disease that often occurs in densely populated settings, especially among children, including those in boarding schools. Purpose: We aimed to investigate the risk factors for scabies infestation in boarding schools. Methods: This crosssectional analytic research was conducted at the Imam Syuhodo Modern Islamic Boarding School. This study consisted of four main steps: survey questionnaires, a pre-test, one-on-one doctor examination, and a brief discussion. The collected data was analyzed using the ChiSquare test and bivariate analysis. Additional multivariate analysis was performed to determine the most influential risk factors. Result: The total sample for the study was 490 students (242 males and 248 females). The overall prevalence of scabies in the boarding school was 16.12%. Bivariate analysis showed a significant relationship between male sex, age (<14 years), history of itchiness, and sharing belongings. In the multivariate analysis, sex (OR 5.56, 95% CI 2.5911.93) and age (OR 2.09, 95% CI 1.23-3.56) turned out to be the most significant factor for scabies. Dermatology specific quality of life index assessment showed more severe negative effects on students with scabies (p<0.001). Discussion: Scabies prevalence was more common in younger males patients. The prevalence of male students was very disproportionate, which needs further attention when designing an intervention model. Students in boarding schools dealing with scabies have worse impacts on their daily lives, which could impede their academic progress.

Abstract

Background: Adverse cutaneous drug reactions (ACDRs) affect 2-3% of hospitalized patients globally, wherein approximately 2% (1 in 1,000 cases) accounted for a severe form of cutaneous drug reactions. Out of all dermatologic diagnoses recorded by HIV patients, eight-point twenty-five percent of patients feature ACDRs, indicating that these patients are 100 times more inclined to develop unfortunate, severe reactions to anti-retroviral treatment. Therefore, there is an urgency in identifying the prevalence of ACDRs in HIV patients taking anti-retroviral treatment. Purpose: The aim of this study is to calculate the prevalence of anti-retroviral drug-induced ACDRs in HIV-positive patients in Central General Hospital, in the time period of January 2015 to December 2017. Methods: This study analyzed inpatient and outpatient medical records from January 2015 to December 2017 in the Dermatology and Venereology Department of dr. Sardjito Central General Hospital, which recorded ART-induced ACDRs manifestations. Result: This study revealed a prevalence of 0.095% of ACDRs as a result of ART administration, with 1.5% HIV-positive patients affected by ACDRs in response to ART medication. A m sex ratio of 2:1 with an average age of 30.4 ± 5.94 years old was found. The most predominant type of ACDR found in HIV-positive patients receiving ART was maculopapular rash (46.7%), while the most common type of drug within the ART regimen to cause such ACDR was Nevirapine (25.8%). Discussion: Nevirapine was the most common type of causative drug, for monotherapy (22.6%) and polytherapy (25.8%).

Abstract

Background: With the rising risk of antibiotic resistance, our ability to combat Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) in skin and soft tissue infections (SSTIs) is being compromised. Purpose: This study aimed to determine the activity of several aqueous extracts of black mahlab seeds (maceration, infusion, and decoction) against S. aureus-associated SSTIs. Methods: We employed the disc diffusion Kirby-Bauer method to evaluate the anti-staphylococcal activity of the extracts. Furthermore, we used various extract concentrations to calculate each extract's minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) and minimum bactericidal concentrations (MBCs) against S. aureus. Result: The results revealed enhanced anti-staphylococcal activity, with inhibition zones measuring 11.5, 22.5, and 26.5 mm at concentrations of 25, 50, and 100 mg/ml, respectively. These effects were similar to ampicillin against S. aureus and significantly higher (p  0.05) than gentamicin. The extracts showed antibacterial activity with MICs and MBCs ranging from 12.5 to 25 mg/ml. Conclusion: Overall, compared to the clinically prescribed antibiotics, ampicillin, and gentamicin, black mahlab seed extract obtained by water maceration exhibits increased anti-staphylococcal activity associated with SSTIs.

Abstract

Background: Leprosy is currently one of the most common health problems in the world. Because leprosy is contagious and chronic, most people fear those who suffer from it, and leading to mindless creation of various negative stigmas. Purpose: This research aimed to determine the relationship between the level of knowledge and the stigma towards leprosy. Methods: This study used an analytical observational design with a cross-sectional approach, conducted from January to March 2024 at Pungging Health Community Center, Mojokerto Regency, East Java, Indonesia, using the total sampling method. We collected the data for this study using a questionnaire that included questions relevant to the variables under investigation. Processing and analyzing data used Microsoft Office Word 2019, Microsoft Office Excel 2019, and IBM SPSS Statistic 26. We used bivariate analysis the Spearman statistical test to determine the relationship between the dependent and independent variables. Result: Health workers with sufficient knowledge had the highest good stigma presentation (14%), and there is a significant relationship between the level of healthcare workers' knowledge of leprosy and stigma towards leprosy patients (p=0.025). Conclusion: A significant correlation exists between healthcare workers' understanding of the stigma associated with leprosy. To reach the program's target, health workers need additional training about leprosy to eliminate the negative stigma of healthcare workers towards leprosy.

Abstract

Background: Syphilis is an infection of the Treponema pallidum bacteria that often occurs along with conditions such as Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection, tuberculosis (TB), and oral candidiasis. A weakened immune system affects the complex interactions between these conditions and the clinical presentation as well as the therapeutic management provided to patients. Case: A 19-year-old male with a history of HIV complained of lesions on the skin and mouth. Anamnesis, physical examination, and serological test results establish the diagnosis of secondary syphilis and pulmonary tuberculosis, characterized by a one-month history of phlegm coughing and weight loss, was confirmed via sputum testing. Additionally, oral candidiasis was identified based on clinical examination. Discussion: The patient exhibited complex complications from secondary syphilis, HIV infection, TB, and oral candidiasis. In cases of syphilis with HIV, the appropriate treatment is three doses of Benzathine Penicillin G. Anti-Tuberculosis Drugs administration for TB was adjusted based on HIV status and therapy response, and antifungal fluconazole for oral candidiasis. Conclusions: This case highlights the importance of proper management and close monitoring of patients with multiple infectious conditions, including treatment of syphilis patients that has  a higher incidence in men who have MSM, HIV, TB, and oral candidiasis. Timely and appropriate therapy strategies are essential to minimize complications and improve clinical outcomes.
