Abstract

Background: Henoch-Schonlein purpura (HSP) is a vasculitis of the small vessels and the most common type of vasculitis in children. Vesicles and haemorrhagic bullae were thought to be rare in HSP and maybe difficult to diagnose. Purpose: To describe the rare case of haemorrhagic bullous lesion in HSP. Case: A 15-year-old Javanese girl was admitted to Dr. Soetomo General Hospital Surabaya with one week history of multiple haemorrhagic blisters on her extremities, accompanied with joint pain, abdominal pain, and severe nausea. Firstly, it’s only a few redness patches then become numerous and changed to haemorrhagic blisters. A dermatological examination shown multiple bullae and vesicles on multiple palpable erythematous purpura. There were hypokalemia on laboratory examination and histopathological examination concluded a leukocytoclastic vasculitis. Discussion: Fluid balance, oral corticosteroid, oral antihistamine, antiemetic injection, and potassium correction were administered to the patient. Dexamethasone was discontinued because there was a presence of melena. Symptomatic treatment was given and significantly improvement was achieved in one month after treatment. Conclusion: Henoch-Schonlein purpura is diagnosed based on history, physical, clinical, and histopathological examination. Vesicles and haemorrhagic bullae are rare in HSP, and it does not seem to have any prognosis value in the outcome of HSP. Key words: Henoch-Schonlein purpura, haemorrhagic bullous lesion, small vessel vasculitis.

Abstract

Background: Clinical manifestations of leprosy depends on host’s immunity. Regulatory T (Treg) cells are known as CD4+CD25+FOXP3+ have roles in immune respons to maintain homeostasis. Transforming growth factor (TGF)-β are one of cytokine that is secreted by Treg cells. Treg cells are thought as unresponsiveness T cells (anergy) to Mycobacterium leprae and caused disease’s progression to lepromatosa. Purpose: To evaluate expression of TGF-β on Treg cells from patient leprosy’s skin lession. Methods: Design of study was cross-sectional, descriptive observation involving 18 leprosy patients who visited the Leprosy Division, Dermatology and Venereology Outpatient Clinic, Dr. Soetomo General Hospital, Surabaya. Biopsy from skin lession were performed then continued with histopathological examination. The type of leprosy was determined by clinical and histopathological examinations. Expression of TGF-β on Treg cell were performed by double staining immunohistochemistry in Biomoleculer and Pathology and Anatomy Laboratory at Brawijaya University, Malang. Result: Numbers of mid-borderline type (BB) leprosy’s patients were 2 (11,1%),  9 (50%) patients with borderline lepromatosa (BL) type, and 7 (38,5%) patients with Lepromatosa (LL) type. Mean expression of TGF-β on Treg cells from skin lession’s leprosy on BB type was 12 ± 2,12 cells/field of view, on BL type was 16 ± 3,64 cells/fields of view and on LL type was  22± 3,69 cells/field of view. Conclusion: Expression of TGF-β on Treg cells are increasing on skin lession’s leprosy patients might as prognostic indicator of severity of leprosy (lepromatosa type).                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          Key words: immunohistochemistry, leprosy, Morbus Hansen, regulatory T cell, TGF-β.

Abstract

Background: Psoriasis vulgaris is an inflammatory, chronic, recurrent, and, non-contangious skin disease. The severity grade of psoriasis is measured with psoriasis area and severity index  (PASI) score. C-reactive protein (CRP) is a sensitive, but not specific indicator of inflammation. In the active stage of psoriasis, highly increased CRP levels were found, whereas at remission they present a decrease level. Purpose: To evaluate the profile of CRP level in psoriasis vulgaris patients with various degress of psoriasis vulgaris severity in Dr. Soetomo Hospital Surabaya. Methods: Blood samples were collected in 16 patients to measure the CRP level in psoriasis vulgaris patients with various degrees of severity. Results: There were 16 patients (10 male and 6 female) with various degrees of psoriasis vulgaris severity (5 patients with mild severity, 8 patients with moderate severity, and 3 patients with severe severity). All CRP  results  were within normal limits. Conclusion: Many factors can influence the CRP levels, CRP can not be  as single  indicator of inflammation in psoriasis vulgaris. Key words: psoriasis vulgaris, c-reactive protein, PASI score.

Abstract

Background: Treatment thalidomide in erythema nodosum leprosum (ENL), can inhibits the transcription repression mediated by tumor necroting factor (TNF). Thalidomide can be used as sparing agents drug to reduce the dependency of steroid. Purpose: To report the effectiveness of thalidomide to treat ENL and of relinquish steroid dependency. Case: A 39 years old patient with leprosy borderline lepromatous type, came with complain bumps on skin accompanied with fever, occurring recurrently since 4 years ago if the steroid’s dose tappered off. He consumed steroid routinely every day for the last 4 years and if the dose was tapered to 4 mg once daily, the painful bumps reappeared often accompanied by fever. Thalidomide 50 mg twice daily and methyl prednisolone 4 mg once daily was given. The constant tapering off of methyl prednisolone done every week. After a month, the patient shown significant improvement. Discussion: Thalidomide is effective in ENL, it is regarded as first line in terms of clinical efficiency because it displays an effect on 90% of ENL patients. In this case, thalidomide was given and steroid dose was reduced slowly while observing the clinical manifestation and patient’s complain. There were no complain of recurrent ENL after discontinuation of steroid and thalidomide, no serious adverse event happened in this patient as well. Conclusion: The effectiveness of thalidomide in ENL is primarily due to its action on TNF but other mechanisms may contribute to its anti-inflammatory effect. Thalidomide is effective in the management of steroid dependent ENL patient. Key words: thalidomide, steroid dependent, methyl prednisolone, erythema nodosum leprosum

Abstract

Background: Atopic Dermatitis (AD) is a chronic inflammatory relapsing skin disorder along with itchy sensation. Etiopathogenesis DA remains unclear, however in common are caused by impaired epidermal barrier function of the skin and immune system that tend to ensue infection. Vitamin D is an immunomodulator and plays an important role in the pathogenesis of DA through improving the integrity of skin barrier permeability, expression of antimicrobial peptide (AMP), which inhibit infection, and reduce inflammation. Deficiency of vitamin D may increase the development risk of DA lesion. Purpose: To evaluate the serum levels of vitamin D (25[OH]D) in patients with DA. Methods: A descriptive observational cross-sectional study, in 34 DA patients at Dermatology and Venereology Outpatient Clinic of Dr. Soetomo Hospital Surabaya. Subjects were enrolled through consecutive sampling, serum vitamin D levels were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method. Results: Serum levels of vitamin D (25[OH]D) in DA patients was 22.72±14.55 ng/mL. Serum levels of vitamin D based on the severity DA: mild (30.86±22.66 ng/mL); moderate (20.42±10.13 ng/mL); and severe (18.84±8.22 ng/mL). Conclusion: Deficiency of vitamin D can occur in DA patient with low level of serum vitamin D (25[OH]D), but the relationship with the severity of DA remains to be done further research. Key words: atopic dermatitis, vitamin D (25[OH]D).
