Abstract

Background: Atopic Dermatitis (AD) is a complex multifactorial disease that includes defects in skin architecture, immune dysregulation, and changes of skin flora, and it predominantly occurs in infancy and childhood. The defects in skin barrier structures are mentioned as one of the factors that facilitates bacterial colonization. Bacterial infection in AD can worsen the inflammation. It requires treatment with antibiotics, which takes longer therapy time, higher costs, and ultimately affects the patient’s quality of life and his/her family members. Purpose: To find out the epidemiology, diagnosis, management of AD, and analyze the risk factors of secondary bacterial infection in new AD patients at the Pediatric Dermatology Division, Dermatovenereology Outpatient Clinic, Dr. Soetomo General Academic Hospital. Methods: This was a retrospective study with a total sampling method. The research data were medical records of new AD patients at the Pediatric Dermatology Division, Dermatovenereology Outpatient Clinic, Dr. Soetomo General Academic Hospital Surabaya from January 2012 to December 2018. Result: There were 404 new patients with AD at the Pediatric Dermatology Division from January 2012 to December 2018, and 210 of them were accompanied by secondary bacterial infection. There was a correlation between a history of dry skin (p=0.000) with the incidence of secondary bacterial infection in AD patients. Conclusion: In this study, AD patients with a history of dry skin had a risk of complication such as bacterial secondary infection.

Abstract

Background: Skin aging is a natural process, and it has many causes. Skin aging can be a result of a process of deterioration of the skin structure and a decrease in normal skin function. As much as 97% of skin aging factors is extrinsic, while the remaining 3% of the factors is intrinsic. Extrinsic factors are closely related to lifestyle; therefore it is necessary to further investigate the effects of lifestyle on skin aging. Skin aging may not have a direct correlation to mortality but the process of aging itself can lead to depression, demoralization, and shame at the extreme to the point of accepting the changes that occur with age. This shows that aging plays an important role in decreasing the quality of human life and youth well-being index, especially in women. Purpose: To determine the effects of lifestyle on skin aging. Methods: This was a case-control study. A case means a person with heavy aging, and control means an individual with mild aging. The data were obtained from medical records and anamneses. Data on lifestyle were collected through interviews with open-ended questions. Subjects who met the inclusion criteria were shortlisted, and their skins were examined as per the Glogau scale. Result: Multivariate test results showed significant results on the variable UV light exposure (p = 0.017), use of sunscreen (p = 0.002), use of anti-aging cream (p = 0.036), and Vitamin D (p = 0.040) against skin aging. Meanwhile, other variables showed no significant results. Conclusion: Lifestyle has an important role in the occurrence of skin aging. However, an in-depth research is needed to determine how many external factors affect skin aging.

Abstract

Background: Scabies is a highly contagious skin disease with various skin clinical presentations. In consideration of its clinical presentations, proper early-onset diagnosis of scabies may not be met, leading to mistreatment and more severe scabies, Norwegian (crusted) scabies. Purpose: To report a case of Norwegian scabies misdiagnosed as eczema in a previously immunocompetent patient. Case: A 32-year-old man was admitted with generalized erythematous skin rash, pruritic, and hyperkeratotic scales of the body. He was previously diagnosed with eczema two months ago and was prescribed both topical and systemic steroid. Skin scales worsened and kept expanding after the treatment. There was a family history of nocturnal itch. Dermoscopic and microscopic examination from skin lesion and scraping with potassium hydroxide revealed the signs of scabies infection. Discussion: Norwegian scabies could be prevented by the correct diagnosis at the early-onset of the disease. Misdiagnosis due to various skin clinical presentations, leading to mistreatment of the infection. In this case, family history plays a role that could elucidate the presence of scabies infection. Conclusion: A correct diagnosis and treatment for the early-phase scabies-infected patient will be beneficial for the patient to prevent hyperinfestation of scabies mites. Specific examination for scabies decreases the possibility of misdiagnosis.

Abstract

Background: Xeroderma pigmentosum (XP) is an autosomal recessive genetic disorder characterized by photosensitivity, cutaneous pigmentary changes, and malignant tumor development at an early age. The basic defect underlying the clinical manifestations is nucleotide excision repair defect, leading to defective repair of ultraviolet (UV)-induced DNA. XP patients who are younger than 20 years of age have more than 1000-fold increased risk of developing malignant neoplasms of the skin, which commonly include squamous cell carcinoma, basal cell carcinoma, fibrosarcoma, and malignant melanoma. Malignant melanoma arises in only about 3% of XP patients. Purpose: To report a case of malignant melanoma in a child with XP. Case: A 7-years-old girl presented with multiple hypopigmentation and hyperpigmentation macules since age of two, throughout the body, more on sun-exposed areas. The physical examination showed solitary tumor extensive ulcero- proliferative surface with areas of hemorrhage and blackish pigmentation on the vertex region. Histological examination revealed a feature of nodular malignant melanoma, and the condition became worse after she underwent two cycles of chemotherapy. Discussion: Despite the rare occurrence, the nodular type of malignant melanoma in XP patients is the most aggressive and responsible for the fatal condition. Conclusion: Early detection of XP is necessary due to its fast-growing nature and high metastatic possibility as well as mortality index.

Abstract

Background: Methotrexate (MTX) and cyclosporine have been used as effective systemic mono-therapy for psoriasis. Several factors are considered to switch monotherapy to combination therapy because monotherapy is no longer effective and has higher side effects. Hence,clinicians have avoided systemic therapy combinations due to its toxicity. However, some studies showed that this combination therapy could be usedeffectively for psoriasis patients. Purpose: This study aimed to analyze the efficacy and adverse effects of systemic MTX and cyclosporine combination therapy in Indonesian psoriasis vulgaris patients. Methods: The retrospective study assessed the effectiveness of 3 monthsmono-therapyand combination therapy of systemic MTX and cyclosporine in psoriasisvulgaris patients from 2016–2017 in Dermatology Clinic, Dr. Hasan Sadikin Hospital, Bandung, West Java, Indonesia. Result: Psoriasis area and severity index (PASI) score 90 were achieved in the group MTX (50%) and cyclosporine group (50%), while none in the combination group.However, eight patients (50%) in group MTX and cyclosporine reached the primary endpoint of PASI 50. One patient in cyclosporine group had adverse effects on kidney profiles. Nonetheless, other patients had no biochemical changes. But, there was no significant difference in the change of PASI between each group (p=0.102). Conclusion: We propose that combination therapy of MTX and cyclosporine is relatively safe and efficacious in treating Indonesian psoriasis vulgaris patients. This combination treatment isas effective as MTX or cyclosporinemono-therapy.

Abstract

Background: Malassezia folliculitis is a pilosebaceous follicular infection disease caused by Malassezia species. There are many misdiagnosed Malassezia folliculitis cases, causing the maladministration of therapy. A routine diagnostic test performed for Malassezia folliculitis cases is the identification of fungal elements (spore) with a microscope using potassium hydroxide, but it has several weaknesses. Purpose: To evaluate the suitability of Malassezia folliculitis diagnostic test using Potassium Hydroxide 20% + Blue-Black Parker Ink, May Grunwald Giemsa, and Potassium Hydroxide 10% + Chicago Sky Blue. Methods: Analytic observational study conducted in the Dermatomycology Division of Dermatology and Venereology outpatient clinic, Dr. Soetomo General Hospital Surabaya. The samples were thirty patients with clinical features of Malassezia folliculitis. The research material was obtained from the body as many as three pieces of papulomoluscoid lesion extracted. The material obtained was then divided into three glass objects for Potassium Hydroxide 20% + Blue-Black Parker Ink, May Grunwald Giemsa, and Potassium Hydroxide 10% + Chicago Sky Blue staining. Result: The identification of spores using Potassium Hydroxide 20% + Blue-Black Parker Ink was 90%, May Grunwald Giemsa was 90%, and Potassium Hydroxide 10% + Chicago Sky Blue was 93% with a value of κ=0.348 and p=0.051. The diagnostic values of May Grunwald Giemsa and Potassium Hydroxide 10% + Chicago Sky Blue were 96.6% sensitivity, 33.3% specificity, 92.9% Positive Predictive Value, and 50 % Negative Predictive Value. Conclusions: There was no significant concordance between May Grunwald Giemsa and Potassium Hydroxide 10% + Chicago Sky Blue with Potassium Hydroxide 20% + Blue-Black Parker Ink in establishing the diagnosis of Malassezia folliculitis. Potassium Hydroxide 20% + Blue-Black Parker Ink is still needed as a routine examination in cases with clinical features of Malassezia folliculitis.
