Abstract

Background: Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is the most common vaginal infection in sexually active women. Metronidazole (MTZ) is still one of the recommended regimens for BV either as a single-dose or divided-dose. In addition to its affordability and availability, oral metronidazole also produces fewer adverse effects. This study aimedto determine the efficacy of single-dose versus divided-dose metronidazole for BV among female sex workers (FSWs) in Surakarta.Methods: A single-blind randomized clinical trial was conducted in Surakarta. FSWswith BV (⩾3 Amsel criteria) were enrolled. The subjects were grouped into two, and treated with MTZ either as a single-dose of 2 gr (single-dose group) or 500 mg twice daily for one week (divided-dose group). After two weeks, we performed second vaginal swabs and reassessed the Amsel criteria, complaints and adverse events. Results: Out of 75 FSWs, 30 (42%) were diagnosed with BV. The efficacy between two groups was not significantly different. However, patients in the single-dose group were 2 times more likely to develop recurrent BV (OR = 2.000; 95% CI 0.146 – 27.447), and 1.5 times more likely to have vaginal discharge complaints (OR = 1,500; 95% CI 0,181-12,459) than divided-dose group.Conclusion: Single-dose and divided-dose metronidazole produce similar efficacy for treating BV in sexually active women. Single-dose metronidazole has a higher risk of BV recurrence and vaginal discharge complaint. Divided-dose metronidazole is recommended for treating BV.

Abstract

Background: Peutz-Jeghers syndrome (PJS) is an autosomal dominant inherited disorder, characterizedby intestinal hamartoma polyps in association with distinct patterns of skin and mucosal macular melanindeposition. Patients with PJS have a 15-fold increased risk of developing bowel cancer compared to thegeneral population.Case: A 47-year-old woman complained of black patches appearing on the lower and upper lips. Severalmonths ago, the patient said that black patches appeared on the gums and inner cheeks. Gastrointestinalcomplaints such as nausea or vomiting were previously denied. Dermatological examination in the oriset ginggiva et buccalis region showed multiple well-defined hyperpigmented macules. Histopathologicalexamination found an increase of melanocytes in the stratum basale with rows of melanocytes. Patienthad an endoscopy in the gastrointestinal tract and histopathological examination of the colonic mucosa, noabnormalities were found and no signs of malignancy were found on histopathological examination.Conclusion: Result of histopathological examination showed an increase in the number of melanocytesin the stratum basale with lined melanocytes. Based on histopathological examination in this patient moreleads to the diagnosis of PJS

Abstract

Background: Condyloma acuminatum (CA) or genital warts are sexually transmitted infections caused by human papillomavirus (HPV). It is estimated that CA occurs in >80% of reproductive age in many countries, with the most common subtypes being 6 and 11. Purpose: The aim of the study to reveal the high risk (HR)-HPV in various condyloma acuminata in Dr. Moewardi Hospital. Methods: This study was a cross-sectional analytical observational study that assessed data collection concurrently over time. Specimens were patients diagnosed with condyloma acuminatum, biopsies were performed, and immunohistochemical staining was also performed. The sampling technique used sequential sampling, and the inclusion criteria included patients who came to our hospital for treatment. Results: The majority of the male sample was MSM. According to HIV status, 6 (30%) male patients were found to be positive. Immunohistochemistry showed that 15% of the samples were HR-HPV. Statistical test results for HR-HPV and low-risk (LR) HPV were significant, p-value = 0.038. Conclusion: Condyloma acuminatum is a sexually transmitted infection that usually occurs at the same time as HIV infection. In our study all patients with HR-HPV were MSM.
