Abstract

Background: After a history of exposure to the suspected material and a thorough physical examination, the diagnosis of occupational contact dermatitis (OCD) is commonly suspected. During the initial consultation, essential information involving the above is frequently neglected. Purpose: To evaluate the clinical manifestations of OCD cases in health workers and analyze the factors that influence OCD cases in health workers at the isolation ward of Dr. Soetomo Surabaya Hospital during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: The sample selection was done through purposive sampling. Accessible population that met the inclusion criteria and did not have exclusion criteria were included as research samples. The target population was healthcare workers in the Special Isolation Ward of Dr. Soetomo Hospital Surabaya. The accessible population was healthcare workers who performed hand hygiene activities and used Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) in the Special Isolation Ward of Dr. Soetomo Hospital Surabaya. The research subjects were healthcare workers who worked in the Special Isolation Ward. Result: The research results showed a strong and significant correlation between atopic history and the occurrence of contact dermatitis due to poor skin barrier function and decreased tolerance. The study also found that there was no significant correlation between atopic history and the severity level of OCD. There was a significant difference in transepidermal water loss (TEWL) values in the lesion and non-lesion areas, both on the palmar and dorsal aspects of the hand. Moisturizer is an important component in managing hand dermatitis as it can repair and maintain the skin's protective barrier. Conclusion:

Abstract

Background: Psoriasis vulgaris can be diagnosed clinically. A biopsy is usually used to confirm non-classic cases. The findings of the histopathology feature are not usually present, thus clinical relevance is needed to confirm the diagnosis. Purpose: To describe the histopathology findings from tissue samples of histopathologically confirmed psoriasis vulgaris reported in the Department of Pathology and Anatomy of Dr. Soetomo General Hospital. Methods: A descriptive-retrospective study of pathology-ascertained tissue samples of histopathologically confirmed psoriasis vulgaris was reported in the Department of Pathology and Anatomy from patients who were also previously diagnosed clinically with psoriasis vulgaris in the Dermatology and Venereology Outpatient Unit of Dr. Soetomo General Academic Hospital over a period of 2 years. Morphological parameters were observed after histopathology sections were stained with hematoxylin and eosin. Result: Thirty-three tissue samples were examined. Parakeratosis (86%) and hypogranulosis (70.3%) were the most observed findings. Club-shaped rete ridges, suprapapillary plate thinning, and spongiform pustules of Kogoj were the least observed findings (each by 2.7%). Three tissue samples (8.1%) showed only parakeratosis. Only 1 tissue sample (2.7%) showed 4 features (absence of the granular layer, parakeratosis, microabscess of Munro, and spongiform pustules of Kogoj). No tissue sample showed every histopathology finding of psoriasis vulgaris. Conclusion: All of the histopathology features of psoriasis vulgaris are rarely found in one tissue section. Albeit histopathology is believed to be the gold standard diagnosis of psoriasis vulgaris, relevance with clinical findings is still mandatory to support the diagnosis.

Abstract

Background: Vitiligo is a long-term autoimmune disorder marked by the loss of melanocytes and the formation of white macules. Vitiligo can have an impact on the patient's look and quality of life. The Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) is a questionnaire that analyzes the quality of life of skin patients in general, but it is not disease-specific. To assess the quality of life of vitiligo patients in Indonesia, a disease-specific instrument is required. Purpose: This study aims to analyze the validity and reliability of the Vitiligo Quality of Life (VitiQol) questionnaire in Indonesia and translate the VitiQol questionnaire into Indonesian. Methods: Using cross-sectional analytic observation, this study was performed on 39 participants with vitiligo at Dr. Soetomo Surabaya between December 2021 and January 2022. The investigation consisted of three phases: the Indonesian translation of VitiQol, testing for validity, and assessing reliability. Result: The VitiQol questionnaire is a valid and reliable questionnaire. Valid with a correlation coefficient between 0.40 and 0.80 and reliability close to perfection. There was a significant correlation between VitiQol and DLQI (r=0.511, p=0.001). Conclusion: According to the findings of this study, the Indonesian VitiQol is a valid and reliable instrument for measuring the life quality of vitiligo patients in Indonesia.
