Abstract

Background: Leprosy remains a public health problem, with various factors contributingo the transmission and progression of the disease. Stigma and discrimination towards leprosy patients have hindered the treatment and eradication of the disease.  Purpose: To identify the related factors and strategies to overcome stigmas towards leprosy patients. Review: Leprosy is a chronic infectious disease that affects skin and nerve, and causes visible permanent impairment if the patients do not get adequate treatment. Therefore, visible clinicalnifestations and cultural beliefs have createdigma towards leprosy patients, which negatively impacts their quality of life and their awareness of seeking health care. These factors may lead to patients avoiding diagnosis and treatment, which in turn increases number of G2D cases and transmission rate. Cultural and religious beliefs, low education level, and minimal information about leprosy have been known to contribute to the stigma. Several strategies can be considered to use to overcome stigma and discrimination towards leprosy patients. Conclusions: nderstanding factors related to leprosy stigma and its effects on the progression of the disease will help determine the strategies to overcome stigma and discrimination.

Abstract

Background: Leprosy is a chronic bacterial infection that affects the peripheral nervous system, skin, nosend eyes and can cause disability. Clinical symptoms and disabilities can give leprosy patients a negative impression, known as stigma, which can affect their self-acceptance. Purpose: This study aims to analyze the perceptions of leprosy patients at the a primary hospital in North Central Timor regarding the stigma they experience. Methods: The study was a qualitative research, utilizing the in-depth interview method. The sampling technique used purposive sampling, applied maximum variation sampling, and involved 20 patients in the study.The interview results were transcribed and analyzed using the Open Code 4.03 program. The coding results were grouped into themes and subthemes that emerged. Result: This study found that internal and social stigma affected 80% of the 20 leprosy patients at a primary hospital. Misperceptions primarily cause internal stigma, which in turn triggers fear of infection and isolation from the community. Social stigma, also triggered by misperceptions, leprosy symptoms, and disability, leads to discrimination, and ostracism, even in family circles and places of worship. Patients experience negative impacts on their self-esteem, social life, and economy. Conclusion: Leprosy patients experience internal and social stigma, with 16 out of 20 patients affected. Misperceptions, symptoms, and disability due to leprosy are the leading causes. This stigma has far-reaching social, economic, and educational impacts. Support, education, and preventive measures are needed to overcome the stigma that worsens the condition of leprosy patients.

Abstract

Background: Rosacea, a prevalent inflammatory skin condition, commonly affects the central facial area. Granulomatous rosacea, a rare variant of rosacea, presents diagnostic intricacies due to its clinical and histopathological resemblance to other granulomatous dermatoses. Purpose: We are presenting this case due to the scarcity of granulomatous rosacea cases, often misdiagnosed, leading to unwarranted treatment options. We describe a case of granulomatous rosacea in a 24-year-old female, elucidating clinical features and diagnostic challenges the patient presented with red, elevated lesions over the central facial region for three months. Clinical examination revealed well-defined erythematous papules. Dermoscopy and histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis. Discussion: Granulomatous rosacea poses a diagnostic problem, necessitating early recognition and tailored management to prevent facial disfigurement and psychological distress. Differential diagnoses often require careful consideration and may involve a combination of clinical, dermoscopic, and histopathological assessments. Conclusion: This case underscores the importance of considering granulomatous rosacea in the differential diagnosis of other facial dermatoses.

Abstract

Background: This paper reports a segmental Stiff Skin Syndrome (SSS) case in a four-year-old girl.  SSS is a rare disease characterized by skin hardening and joint stiffness due to a mutation of the fibrillin-1 (FBN-1) gene encoding the fibrillin protein. The effective therapies for this disease are limited. Case Report: The patient presented with hardened skin and a limping gait.  Clinically, there were hard, hyperpigmented patches with hypertrichosis on the skin of the left femur and left gluteal. The left coxae and left genu joint were in fixed flexion, causing a limping gait. The SSS histology revealed thickened collagen fibers, trapping adipocytes between them, but no inflammatory cells.  The UV-A phototherapy and physiotherapy session resulted in a modest improvement. Discussion: This case's segmental SSS diagnosis was based on clinical and histological findings. Establishing a diagnosis of SSS is a challenge for clinicians because it can resemble other skin disorders, particularly sclerosing diseases. The recommended management for SSS remains limited. In this case, after the UV-A phototherapy and physiotherapy, complaints of hardened skin were said to soften.

Abstract

Background: Keloid is a process of abnormal collagen thickening during wound healing in skin tissue accompanied by the formation of new blood vessels. Many keloid therapy modalities have been developed but the recurrence rate of those treatment still ranged 1-70%. Herbal plants have been developed for various types of treatment, one of which is for treating keloids. Purpose: The alpha mangostin content in mangosteen peel is known to have antifibrotic properties, further research is needed regarding the administration of alpha mangostin on the process of keloid occurrence. Methods: The investigation was conducted in vitro on phase III keloid fibroblast cells. There were two groups, which divided into the control groups and the treatment groups. The control groups and treatment groups were given alpha mangostin extract in concentrations of 20 μM; the sample of this study was 16. For each group after 24h of the incubation, fibroblast cell proliferation was measured by Microtetrazolium (MTT) assay, fibroblast cell migration was measured by scratch assay, SMAD3 expression was measured after immunocytochemical staining, and type 1 collagen was measured by Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA). The Ethics Committee at the Research Ethics Commission of Faculty of Medicine Andalas University has reviewed this research. Result: Alpha mangostin can reduce the average expression of TGF-β1, SMAD3 expression, type 1 collagen, proliferation, and migration.  . Conclusion: At concentration of 20 μM, alpha mangostin suppressed TGF-β1 expression, SMAD 3, collagen type 1, proliferation, and migration in keloid fibroblast cell.

Abstract

Background: Atopic march is one of the global health problems that is commonly found in children. The prevalence of allergic rhinitis in Indonesia reaches to 1.5% to 12.4% and continues to increase every year. Allergic reactions can affect all tissues and organs in the body. Some clinical manifestations of allergies are allergic rhinitis, atopic dermatitis, and asthma (atopic march). Atopic march often begins in infancy with the development of atopic dermatitis later in life. Purpose: To analyze the correlation between the prevalence of allergic rhinitis and history of infantile atopic dermatitis in children. Methods: This research used an observational analytic design with a cross-sectional approach. Result: The data were categorized based on a history of atopic dermatitis and the diagnosis of allergic rhinitis. The statistical tests revealed a relationship between the incidence of allergic rhinitis and history of infantile AD in children. The chi-square test yielded a p-value of 0.014 and a contingency coefficient value of 0.213. The odd ratio (OR) value at a confidence level (CL) of 95% and a limit of 1.312 – 6.256 is 2.865, which means that patients who have a history of AD have a 2.8 times higher risk of experiencing AR. Conclusion: The conclusion of this study is that there is a correlation between the incidence of allergic rhinitis and history of infantile atopic dermatitis.
