Abstract

Background: Incontinentia pigmenti (IP), also known as Bloch-Sulzberger syndrome, is a rare X-linked dominant genodermatosis with an estimated incidence of 0.7–1.2 per 100,000 live births. It is caused by mutations in the IKBKG gene. Affected women have a 50% chance of transmitting the defective gene, while male fetuses usually do not survive due to the lethal effect of the mutation. Purpose: This report aims to present a rare surviving male case of incontinentia pigmenti with early dermatological manifestations and to highlight the importance of clinical recognition and multidisciplinary follow-up. Case: A 4-day-old male newborn presented with blisters on the left leg since birth. Dermatological examination showed multiple papules and vesicles arranged along Blaschko’s lines on erythematous macules without erosion. Based on clinical findings, the patient was diagnosed with stage 1 incontinentia pigmenti. Management included the use of moisturizers, topical antibiotics, and parental education regarding potential multi-organ involvement. Regular monitoring for neurological and ophthalmological manifestations was advised. Discussion: Incontinentia pigmenti is caused by an IKBKG gene mutation that disrupts NF-κB signaling, leading to increased apoptosis. It mainly affects ectodermal tissues such as the skin, hair, teeth, eyes, and CNS. The disease progresses through four skin stages: vesiculobullous, verrucous, hyperpigmented, and atrophic/alopecic. Diagnosis is mostly clinical, with histopathology or genetic testing used in atypical cases. Skin lesions usually resolve on their own, but preventing secondary infections is important. Conclusion: Incontinentia pigmenti in male infants is exceedingly rare. Early recognition, supportive care, and vigilant multidisciplinary monitoring are crucial to detect and manage possible systemic complications

Abstract

Background: As the country with the highest identified active cases of HIV/AIDS across Southeast Asia, Indonesia faces a massive challenge in providing adequate antiretroviral therapy (ART) coverage to prevent disease progression and mortality.  Oral candidiasis (OC) is the most frequently identified oral manifestation of HIV infection and represents the degree of immunosuppression, treatment failure, and prognosis among people living with HIV/AIDS. Demographic characteristics, clinical types, and causative pathogens of OC vary between different geographical and socioeconomic settings. Hence, the role of oral candidiasis is crucial in developing effective strategies to address the HIV-related burden in Indonesia. Review: This literature review evaluated 11 descriptive studies conducted across eight major cities in Indonesia, comprising 764 HIV-positive patients diagnosed with OC. Most affected individuals were male and exhibited advanced immunosuppression, with the majority presenting CD4+ counts below 200 cells/mm³. Six clinical variants of OC were identified, with pseudomembranous candidiasis being the predominant form, followed by angular cheilitis, erythematous candidiasis, hyperplastic candidiasis, and sporadic cases of atrophic candidiasis and denture stomatitis. Microbiological findings showed Candida albicans as the leading etiologic species; however, non-albicans Candida (NAC)—particularly C. krusei, C. glabrata, and C. tropicalis—demonstrated notable prevalence, including mixed colonization with C. albicans. The rise of NAC species highlights concerns regarding antifungal resistance in the ART era. Conclusion: Oral candidiasis serves as an important clinical finding among patients living with HIV/AIDS, and its appropriate management is necessary not only to prevent further complications but also to mitigate the recent development of antifungal resistance.

Abstract

Background: Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) remain a significant global health concern. Education plays a crucial role in prevention, but its effectiveness may vary among different groups. Purpose: The purpose of this research was to determine how well both medical and non-medical staff at Dharma Wanita Orthopaedic Hospital Soeharso Surakarta understood sexually transmitted diseases, as measured by the STD-KQ questionnaire. Methods: This research employed a cross-sectional analytic observational design, involving 46 participants. Data were gathered through a sequence of pre-intervention assessment, educational program, and post-intervention evaluation. Statistical analysis was performed using paired t-tests and independent t-tests. Results: Prior to the intervention, healthcare workers possessed a significantly greater understanding of the subject matter (p=0.022). Both groups exhibited substantial improvements in their knowledge after participating in the educational program (p<0.05). The average scores for healthcare workers improved from 8.19 (± 4.80) to 16.15 (± 4.70), a statistically significant increase (p=0.001). Similarly, non-healthcare workers' scores rose from 13.40 (± 5.92) to 18.10 (± 4.24) (p=0.013). After the intervention, the initial difference in knowledge between the two groups was no longer statistically significant (p=0.154), indicating a closing of the knowledge gap. Conclusion: The educational intervention effectively improved STD knowledge in both groups and reduced the knowledge disparity between HCWs and NHCWs. The research points out the need for thorough and accessible sexual health instruction to improve STD understanding within diverse populations.

Abstract

Background: Radiotherapy is an essential treatment in reducing the risk of breast cancer but can cause side effects such as acute radiodermatitis. This condition is the result of ionizing radiation damaging deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) through reactive oxygen species (ROS) and inducing inflammatory responses, which lead to variable degrees of skin damage. Hyaluronic acid (HA) plays a role in triggering cell proliferation and keratinocyte differentiation while inhibiting lipid peroxidation caused by oxidative stress. Purpose: This study aims to determine the effectiveness of hyaluronic acid in reducing the degree of acute radiodermatitis using the Radiation Therapy Oncology Group (RTOG) score in breast cancer patients undergoing radiotherapy. Methods: This study was a double-blind randomized controlled trial. The samples were from patients diagnosed with breast cancer receiving radiotherapy. The treatment group received 0.2% HA cream, while the control group received a placebo The clinical appearance was evaluated weekly from the beginning of radiotherapy until two weeks post-radiotherapy using the RTOG score. Result: A total of 41 subjects were divided into two groups. RTOG score evaluation with intention-to-treat analysis and per-protocol analysis at weeks 3, 4, and 5 showed that the hyaluronic acid cream group experienced delayed onset of acute radiodermatitis compared to the placebo group. The log-rank test showed a significant difference in effectiveness between 0.2% HA cream compared to base cream in reducing the degree of acute radiodermatitis (p=0.035). Conclusion: The use of 0.2% HA cream was effective in reducing the severity of acute radiodermatitis in breast cancer patients undergoing radiotherapy.

Abstract

Background: Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) have been considered a public health threat in all countries, both in developed and developing countries. STIs have a direct impact on sexual and reproductive health through stigmatization, infertility, cancer, and pregnancy complications that can increase the risk of HIV. Purpose: This study aims to identify cases of adolescent patients with STIs at Ngoerah Hospital, Denpasar, Bali in the period 2021 to 2023. Methods: This study uses a descriptive observational study with a cross-sectional design. The research was conducted at the Dermatology and Venereology Polyclinic and the Medical Record Installation of Ngoerah Hospital, Denpasar, Bali. After the data was collected, it was tabulated in tabular form and grouped descriptively. Result: A total of 46 patient samples were obtained, with an average age of 16.7 years. Adolescents with STIs were more commonly found in female (63%). Based on their last education, the highest number of patients were junior high school graduates (58.7%) with a history of multipartner sexual intercourse (56.5%). Only 15.2% claimed to be married. The most common type of STIs was syphilis (50%), followed by condyloma acuminata (45.6%). A total of 67.4% of adolescents were known to have HIV-positive status. Conclusion: The picture of STIs in teenagers is more common in female with a junior high school education. Most teenagers have multi-partner partners with a history of having sexual relations with commercial sex workers (CSWs). The most common type of STIs in teenagers is syphilis (50%), and 67.4% are infected with HIV.

Abstract

Background: HIV has become a global health problem, causing millions of deaths since its discovery. The success of antiretroviral therapy (ART) depends heavily on patient adherence, yet the lost-to-follow-up (LTFU) rate remains high. Purpose: This study aims to identify the characteristics of HIV patients experiencing LTFU and analyze the influencing factors at the Karang Panjang Community Health Center in Ambon City. Methods: This study employs a cross-sectional design with secondary data analysis from theedical records of HIV patients from 2018 to 2024. The sampling technique used was total sampling, with a total sample size of 152 patients. Data analysis was conducted descriptively and inferentially using the chi-square and Fisher’s exact test. Result: The prevalence of LTFU among HIV/AIDS patients at the Karang Panjang Community Health Center is 15.1%. Most LTFU patients are female, over 30 years old, and married. Statistical tests show significant associations between LTFU and age (p = 0.0468), sex (p = 0.0433), and marital status (p = 0.0355), while education and religion are not significant. Among LTFU cases, 8.3% had died, 50% were alive but had stopped therapy, and 41.7% were untraceable. Additional contributing factors identified through discussions and medical record reviews include inadequate counseling and education, poor documentation of ARV side effects, limited financial resources, and insufficient peer or family support. Conclusion: The study concludes that age, sex, and marital status contribute to LTFU among HIV patients. It recommends improving ART retention through education, stricter monitoring, and community-based strategies to reduce future LTFU rates.

Abstract

Background: Seborrhoeic keratosis (SK) is a benign tumor composed of epidermal keratinocytes occurs most frequently in the elderly. The action of 5-fluorouracil (FU) cream and calcipotrienes on keratinocyte development and has been shown beneficial for SK. Purpose: To compare the effectiveness of 5-FU and calcipotriol topical with cryosurgery. Methods: Eighteen SK patients with 54 skin lesions were enlisted, which were separated into three groups. The first group received topical 5-FU twice daily, the second group received one 10-second freeze-thaw cycle of liquid nitrogen cryosurgery, and the third group received topical calcipotriol twice daily. The success of therapy was assessed based on the reduction in baseline lesion size, and observations were made every two weeks for three months. Result: This study found that at the 12th week, the mean percentage of decrease in lesion size in group I was 34.6%, group II was 100%, and group III was 6.18%. Statistically, there was a significant difference in the decrease in lesion size in groups treated with cryosurgery (p value<0.001). The most common side effect in group I was discomfort, whereas in group II it was hyperpigmentation. Patients from group III reported no negative effects. Conclusion: Topical 5-FU and topical calcipotriol are less effective than cryosurgery in SK in terms of reducing lesion size. However, topical 5-FU reduced the size of lesions more than topical calcipotriol.
