Abstract

Background: Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic inflammatory skin disorder that typically manifests in childhood and has a diverse etiology. In the United States, the prevalence of AD among adults was 4.9%, while in Japan it was 2.1%. The majority of people with AD have dry skin. Hanifin-Rajka criteria were the first to be established and are frequently used as diagnostic standards in research. Purpose: The purpose of this study is to determine the Hanifin-Rajka criteria and skin hydration in adult patients with mild-moderate atopic dermatitis at Dr. Soetomo General Academic Hospital, Surabaya March-May 2022.  Methods: This cross-sectional descriptive study included adult patients with mild to moderate AD according to Hanifin-Rajka aged 18-64 years who visited the Dermatology and Venereology Outpatient Dr. Soetomo General Academic Hospital Surabaya between March and May 2022. Skin hydration was measured using a corneometer on the volar side of the left forearm in the skin area.  Result: Based on the major criteria, all participants had pruritus, typical morphology and distribution, and chronic or chronically recurrent dermatitis. As for the minor criteria, more varied results were obtained, one of which was xerosis, which was experienced by all participants. The skin hydration shows that the mean value for skin hydration was 39.8 ± 12.1. The lowest skin hydration was 21.4 and the highest was 87.4, both found in subjects with mild AD. Conclusion: ..

Abstract

Background: Scabies is a skin infection caused by infection and susceptibility to the variant mite Sarcoptes scabiei hominis and its derivatives. Scabies disease can be transmitted through direct contact with mites and causes itching on the human body, which can develop into secondary infections. Purpose: to determine the characteristics of scabies according to age, location of lesions, and signs of lesions in students of Surabaya Boarding School on December 2021. Methods: This study is a cross-sectional descriptive study with data collection through interviews and clinical examinations. Results: Scabies included 40 cases out of 86 respondents. Scabies cases occurred in boys aged between 13 and 15 (37%). The largest proportion of lesions were found all over the body, including between the fingers (75%), between the fingers and arms (15%), between the toes and legs (7%), and underarms (3%). The most common lesions were erythema papules and crusts in 57%, erythema papules, pustules, and crusts in 28%, and erythematous macules only in 18%. Conclusion: The importance of education for children about scabies, personal hygiene behavior, environmental hygiene, and other variables that affect the incidence of scabies.

Abstract

Background: Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) 6 and 11 are most commonly detected in genital warts, known as condyloma acuminata. Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is the most frequent vaginal infection in women aged 15 to 44 years. There may be an association between condyloma acuminata and BV. Purpose : To report a case of condyloma accuminata in a pregnant patient with combination bacterial vaginosis. Case: A 24-year-old, 8-week pregnant woman came to the clinic with a chief complaint of multiple warts in the genital area since 3 months prior to the hospital visit. The bumps on the vulva were small, and at first only one but then spread to surrounding areas. The bumps were itchy and painful. Complaints of vaginal discharge or fluor albus of yellowish-white gray color, accompanied by itchy and a fishy odor that appeared three months ago and worsened in the last two weeks. Examination results led to the diagnosis of condyloma acuminata and BV in the patient. The patient's condition improved after being given 90% trichloroacetic acid (TCA), electrocautery, and metronidazole. Discussion: Pregnancy decreases cell-mediated immunity, which may decrease immune tolerance and local physiologic changes and ultimately increase HPV infection in pregnancy. HPV infection is associated with a vaginal microbiota imbalance, making pregnant women prone to vaginal infections such as BV. Conclusion: Condyloma accuminata and BV often occur in high-risk groups for sexually transmitted infections, one of which is pregnant women. It is necessary to screen for sexually transmitted infections (STIs) in pregnant women to prevent complications.

Abstract

Background: Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) present a significant challenge in the public health field. Health professionals are at the forefront of controlling the transmission and management of this disease; hence, efforts to update knowledge regarding STDs are very important for this group. Purpose: This study aims to explain the effect of integrated counseling on increase STD knowledge in an effort to prevent the occurrence of sexually transmitted diseases. Methods: We carried out health education activities containing material related to aetiology, modes of transmission, risk factors, risk groups, and therapy for sexually transmitted diseases at one hospital in Surakarta. The Sexually Transmitted Disease Knowledge Questionnaire (STD-KQ) was used to assess participants' knowledge regarding STDs, which was distributed before and after giving the material. The difference in STD-KQ scores before and after the counselling session was analysed using the Wilcoxon Test. Result: Prior to the counselling session, 22 (32.83%) participants had poor knowledge, 41 (61.19%) had moderate knowledge, and only 4 (5.97%) possessed a good understanding of STDs. Following the counselling session, there was a noteworthy improvement in knowledge levels, with 47 (70.14%) participants now classified as having good knowledge. Additionally, 18 (26.86%) participants maintained a moderate level of knowledge, while 2 (2.98%) retained poor knowledge. The analysis showed that the difference was statistically significant (P value < 0.001).
