Abstract

Background: Psoriasis is a skin disease that occurs due to proliferation and differentiation disturbances of the epidermis. This chronic condition often reduces the human quality of life. There have been studies investigating psoriatic patient profiles and treatments, but few are conducted in Surabaya. Hence, those studies cannot fully represent the population demographic in Surabaya. Purpose: To investigate the prevalence of psoriasis vulgaris and the sociodemographic profile of the patients in Dr Soetomo General Academic Hospital. Methods: This was a Retrospective study psoriasis vulgaris patients in January 2016–December 2018. The data were collected by retrieving Electronic Medical Records (EMR) as secondary data. Result: The psoriasis vulgaris prevalence of outpatients was 0.46% and 4.59% in inpatients. Most study subjects were adults aged 18 and above (98.1%), most of the patients were obese (46.3%), the most common provoking factor was focal tooth infection (33.8%) and stress (28.8%), and none reported family history of psoriasis. Conclusion: Some results are similar to other studies conducted in Surabaya, which were the obesity and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (DM) being strong a factor to psoriasis development. However, the result on psoriasis family history was not in line with other studies.

Abstract

Background: Atopic dermatitis (AD) has a significant negative impact on the quality of life (QoL) of affected children and their families. Despite the availability of efficacious treatment, poor knowledge of AD treatment, and adherence to daily controller medications leads to a high rate of treatment failure. Purpose: To characterize the efficacy of educational interventions to improve AD outcomes in the pediatric population. Methods: A systematic search of PubMed, OVID Medline, CINAHL, and PsychINFO was conducted from September 2010 through September 2018. We compared populations, intervention characteristics, study designs, outcomes, settings, and intervention levels across studies. Result: Of 85 articles identified and reviewed, 7 articles met inclusion criteria. All included studies demonstrated efficacy in overall outcomes. All studies were performed in a hospital setting or utilized technology. The most common format for pediatric AD intervention delivery was the use of group lectures. Promising strategies to address time limitations in parents of children with AD include multifaceted educational support programs, individually tailored nurse consultation, and Web-Based Educational Programs. This systematic review is not a meta-analysis, therefore limiting its quantitative assessment of studies. Conclusion: Educational interventions demonstrate efficacy in improving pediatric AD outcomes. As the seven included studies employed a wide variety of outcome assessment tools, it is difficult to compare the extent of improvement in outcomes across these studies. In order to better assess the comparative efficacy of different educational interventions to improve outcomes in children with AD, it is essential to standardize outcome measures.

Abstract

Background: Phototherapy is a safe and effective treatment modality for skin diseases in children such as psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, pityriasis lichenoides, vitiligo, cutaneous cell lymphoma, pityriasis rubra pilaris, and other skin disorders. It is reported to be effective with less side effects compare to the administration of systemic medicine. Short and long term side effects should be taken into account when applying this model of therapy, especially in children. Purpose: To identify special considerations regarding the use of phototherapy modalities in the field of dermatology in children. Review: Phototherapy is the use of ultraviolet (UV) radiation for therapeutic purposes. The various wavelengths of UV radiation used for phototherapy have their own respective photochemical and photobiological properties. There are modality choices that have been proven to provide benefits in treating various skin diseases, including broadband UVB and narrowband UVB, psoralen UVA photochemotherapy (PUVA), ultraviolet A 1 (UVA1), and targeting phototherapy. Special considerations regarding the use of this treatment modality in the pediatric population increase with safety and treatment tolerance. Conclusion: Special considerations should be taken when providing phototherapy treatment options to children with skin disorders requiring phototherapy. The therapies are generally well tolerated and mostly have minor adverse side effects, such as sunburn.

Abstract

Background: The incidence of drug eruptions is increasing during the last few years due to a large number of new medications. Early detection of the causative agent and the prevention from exposure are crucial managements in terms of drug eruption, mainly to prevent its recurrence. Objective: To understand skin test as a diagnostic modality in drug eruption, which includes skin patch test, skin prick test, and intradermal test. Literature review: Drug eruption is a form of skin eruption triggered by the use of medications, topical or systemic, in the right dose and indication. The manifestation can vary from maculopapular, urticaria, pustular, and bullous eruption; from the most nonsignificant to a life-threatening reaction. A diagnostic procedure is critical to discover the type of drugs that cause the eruption, i.e., skin test, specific IgE measurement, histamine-release test, and provocation test. Skin test is the first choice in the diagnostic process as it is simple, easy, practical and has high sensitivity and specificity. Conclusion: Skin test is one of the many available diagnostic tools.  However, both false positive and false negative results might still arise. The experts are currently attempting to come up with more accurate and practical tests to aid the diagnostic of drug eruption, thus preventing its occurrence.

Abstract

Background: Photoaging causes wrinkles, lentigines, keratoses, dyspigmentation, telangiectasia, decreased elasticity, rough texture, and pale color. Facial wrinkles and mottled skin can negatively affect perceived attractiveness, self-esteem, personality, and level of acceptance. Stem cells are important cells in the skin, and they are the source for continuous regeneration of the epidermis. It can be extracted from many sources, including amnion. Amnion membrane stem cell (AMSC) can be cultured and secretes metabolite product, and it can rejuvenate aging skin. Laser-Assisted Drug Delivery (LADD) involves selective destruction of the layers of the epidermis and dermis to allow penetration and absorption of topical drugs as well as large molecular weight drugs such as stem cells. Purpose: To evaluate the long-term effects of topical administration of AMSC metabolite products (AMSC -MP) and fractional CO2 laser on the clinical improvement of photoaging compared to previous skin conditions. Methods: This was an observational study which was aimed to evaluate the long-term effects of clinical improvement after topical therapy of AMSC-MP and fractional CO2 laser in patients with photoaging. Results: The results of the analysis showed a decrease in wrinkles, dark spots, skin tone, and pores. Conclusion: Based on Janus-II® assessment, there was improvement degrees of wrinkles, dark spots, and pores in patients with photoaging who received fractional CO2laser fractional for 12 weeks. There were no side effects found in this study.

Abstract

Background: Recently, the incidence of syphilis among men who have sex with men (MSM) has increased rapidly, especially among Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)-infected MSM. Coinfection with these two organisms alter the symptoms and signs, progression of the disease, and the risk of progressing to the tertiary stage. Purpose: To report a case of secondary syphilis in HIV-infected MSM.  Case: A 24-year-old male complaint of multiple redness macule for 1-month duration on his chest, back, groin, palm, and soles. The rash was neither painful nor pruritic. He also complains of hair loss resulting "moth eaten" alopecia. One month before, he had a painless ulcer on his genital, which resolved without treatment. His HIV infection was diagnosed two years earlier. He had been sexually active with multiple homosexual partners without using a condom since 2010. The Venereal Disease Research Laboratory test (VDRL) titer was 1/32, and Treponema pallidum haemagglutination assay (TPHA) was 1/20480. Initial treatment was a single dose of 2.4 million units of benzathine penicillin. Serologic examination was reevaluated on month 1, 3, 6, and 9 after therapy and declined in the third month. Discussion: For HIV-infected persons, the clinical manifestations of syphilis in most of the cases remain the same. However, the lesions are more aggressive, and coexistence of primary and secondary syphilis is more frequent. Serologic tests are accurate and reliable for the diagnosis and for following a patient’s response to treatment. Penicillin is effective but physical and serological follow up is needed. Conclusion: HIV-infected MSM have higher risk of syphilis. Staging is needed to determine the treatment. Serologic examination should be repeated and long enough to monitor the treatment success.

Abstract

Background: Leprosy is a neglected tropical disease caused by chronic granulomatous infection of Mycobacterium leprae. Indonesia ranks third in new case findings, with 84% of the case being multibacillary (MB) leprosy. MB leprosy cases have a higher risk of leprosy reactions and physical disabilities that decrease quality of life. Purpose: To determine the demographic, clinical characteristics, and white blood analysis of newly diagnosed MB leprosy patients, especially concerning leprosy reactions. Methods: This is a descriptive retrospective study with a cross-sectional design that describe the following data: domicile, gender, age, treatment status, disabilities, body mass index (BMI); bacterial index (BI), morphological index (MI), white blood cell (WBC) and differential counts, and thrombocyte count. Result: This study included 176 adult MB cases, predominantly male aged 20–39 years old with average BMI, lived in Surabaya with negative history of multi-drug therapy, disability, BI, nor MI. The grade 2 disability (G2D) percentage in this study setting than in Indonesia (10.7% vs. 6.43%). The WBCs, especially neutrophil count, was higher in T2R group. Monocyte and lymphocyte counts were relatively similar. There was an increase in thrombocyte count in leprosy reaction groups. Conclusion: MB leprosy in the endemic area, which is more commonly found in productive-aged male, displayed higher G2D than global Indonesia population. Thus denotes the importance of active case findings. The difference in blood analysis characteristics between MB leprosy with and without reactions may serve as the foundation for future study.

Abstract

Background: Pustular psoriasis and Acute Generalized Exanthematous Pustulosis (AGEP) are grouped under pustular diseases, in which their clinical manifestations are similar. Those diseases can lead to exfoliative dermatitis. Purpose:To evaluate a specific histopathological examination in differentiating Pustular Psoriasis and AGEP. Case: A 55-year-old woman presented with sudden redness and diffused scaly skin with multiple pustules and also fever. She had taken Cefadroxil 2 days before the scales and pustules appeared. Leukocytosis and histopathological examination results from biopsy supported the diagnosis of AGEP. The patient was then hospitalized and received steroid therapy. Within the first week of tapering off, the scales disappeared but the pustules increased. After such clinical findings, the histopathological examination results were revisited and reassessed. Thus, we considered changing the diagnosis to Pustular Psoriasis, and the therapy was switched to Methotrexate. The patient had a better outcome, and the pustules slowly disappeared entirely. Discussion: It is often difficult to differentiate between the pustules in pustular psoriasis and AGEP unless by thorough history-taking and physical examinations. AGEP is characterized by a widespread of pustules with an acute febrile onset; while pustular psoriasis is an acute variant of psoriasis where pustules are spread over erythematous skin and accompanied by high fever and leukocytosis. Conclusion: Histopathological examination is the gold standard for the establishment of pustular psoriasis diagnosis. The histopathological characteristics of pustular psoriasis and AGEP are difficult to differentiate. Therefore, we need detailed history-taking and physical examination to establish the diagnosis.

Abstract

Background: Exposure to Ultraviolet B (UVB) rays on the skin causesmany problems, including pigmentation and aging effect. Hence, protection against it is needed. Purpose: The study aimedto determine the effect of corncob extract cream on the number of melanin pigments in guinea pig skins exposed to UVB rays. Methods: Anexperimental post-test-only control group study was conducted on the 25 guinea pigs. The guinea pigs were divided randomly into five groups: group I without cream, group II cream base, group III hydroquinone cream, group IV 30% corncob extract cream, and group V 40% corncob extract cream. The cream was given daily for 20 minutes before UVB exposure and 4 hours after UVB exposure. The total dose of UVB exposure was 780 mJ / cm2 for 28 days. The amount of melanin pigment was calculated using the CX21 image J. Result: The number of melanin pigment in groups I, II, III, IV, and V were 22.8±0.4 cells, 18±0.3 cells, 6.3±3.1 cells, 13.8±0.2 cells, and 9.4±0.5 cells, respectively. Asignificantlydifferent value of One way ANOVA test was <0.05. Thus, there was a difference in the number of melanin pigments between the five groups. LSD post-hoc test showed differences in each group (p <0.05). Conclusion: 40% corn cobs extract cream effectively decreased the number of melanin pigment in guinea pigs exposed to UVB rays.
