Abstract

Backgroud: Dermatophytosis is common disease in tropical countries such as Indonesia. The prevalence of dermatophytosis in general population also high (20%). The dermatophyte fungi are the etiologic agents that cause this disease, some of them had already reported to be resistant to some anti-fungi. Purpose: To determine dermatophyte species causing dermatophytosis and the resistancy of griseofulvin, ketoconazole, itraconazole, dan terbinafine to dermatophyte species. Methods: Isolates of dermatophyte from patient who met the inclusion criteria in outpatient clinic of dermato-venereology Dr. Soetomo Hospital Surabaya during October until December 2014 were analyzed with respect to their susceptibility to four anti-fungal agents (griseofulvin, ketoconazole, itraconazole, and terbinafine) using microdilution methode. Results: Thirthy patients were included in inclusion criteria, with T. mentagrophytes var. Interdigitale was the most common cause of dermatophytoses. According to MIC all 30 isolates were already resistant to all anti-fungal agent, except T. rubrum that still sensitive to ketoconazole and 80,  itraconazole.  Conclusion: According to MIC 16.7% isolates sensitive to griseofulvin, 23.3% to ketoconazole, 16.7% to 80 itraconazole and 20% to terbinafine.Key word: dermatophyte species, susceptibility test of anti-fungal, microdilution.

Abstract

Background: Cutaneous aspergillosis occurs relatively less frequent and therefore remains poorly characterized. Cutaneous aspergillosis can be as primary or secondary infection. Primary cutaneous aspergillosis usually involves sites of skin injury, intravenous catheter, traumatic inoculation, and associated with occlusive dressings. Secondary lesions result from contiguous extension from infected underlying structures or from widespread blood-borne seeding of the skin. Purpose: To know the skin manifestation, efflorence, examination and therapy of cutaneous aspergillosis. Case: A man complaint itchy redness macule and pimples on the right arm since 2 weeks. Initially just felt a little then expands. Patients with post operative brachial injury and uses a cast during one month. On examination there are erythematous macule unsharply marginated with papules. Potassium hydroxide examination, shows conidiophores, dichotomously branching and septate hyphae appropriate description with Aspergillosis Sp. Cultures found grow granular colonies, flat often with radial grooves, yellow at first but quickly becoming bright to dark yellow-green with age, For the identification microscope from the culture specimen there was conidia, phialde, conidiophore and vesicle that suitable with Aspergillus flavus. Patients received itraconazole 2 x 200 mg for 6 weeks and obtained satisfactory results. Discussion: Healthy hosts can develop cutaneous aspergillosis in surgical wounds, by traumatic inoculation, at sites associated with occlusive dressings. In some instances, a presumptive diagnosis of primary cutaneous aspergillosis can be made immediately by examining a potassium hydroxide preparation and culture. Conclusion: Diagnose of cutaneous aspergillosis can establish by potassium hydroxide and culture examination, therapy with itraconazole 2x 200mg give satisfactory results.

Abstract

Background: Tinea capitis (TC) is the most prevalent pediatric superficial dermatophyte infection. Scalp dermoscopy or "trichoscopy” represents a valuable, noninvasive technique for the evaluation of patients with hair loss due to TC. Purpose: To characterize trichoscopic findings in children with clinical findings suggestive of TC. Case:  A 13-year-old boy was presented with a scaled plaque on his scalp that had appeared 1 month earlier. A physical examination revealed a scaly, nonerythematous, rounded lesion in the parietal area of the head. Wood's lamp yielded a blue fluorescence. Microscopic morphology from fungal culture found the typical spindle-shaped macroconidia of Microsporum canis. Trichoscopy showed mainly comma hair, corkscrew hair, morse code hair, bent hair, and zig zag hair. The patient was started on oral griseofulvin 20 mg/kg/day and antifungal shampoo for 8 weeks. The patient was cured after two months of treatment and trichoscopy returned to normal. Discussion: Fungal culture remains the gold standard in TC diagnosis, but it needs time. Trichoscopy can be an additional tool to help evaluate the diagnosis, aetiology, and follow up of this disorder. The presence of characteristic trichoscopic features (comma hairs, corkscrew hairs, Morse code-like hairs, zigzag hairs, bent hairs, block hairs, and i-hairs) is predictive of TC. The present analysis confirmed that trichoscopy is a useful method in differentiating between Microsporum and Trichophyton TC, which is important from the perspective of a different therapeutic approach. Conclusion: Trichoscopy is not only of value in the diagnosis of TC but also for the etiologic agent and follow-up after treatment in this case.

Abstract

Background: The main target of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is cluster of differentiation 4 (CD4) T lymphocytes and several other immune cells that have CD4 receptors. They are also present in skin and mucosa, such as Langerhans cells (LC). Mucocutaneous lesions are one of the first clinical presentations of immunosuppression in HIV seropositive patients that manifest at different stages of the infection and require early diagnosis and prompt treatment. Purpose: To determine the clinical characteristics and the pattern of various mucocutaneous manifestations in Human immunodeficiency virus/Acquired immune deficiency syndrome (HIV/AIDS) patients at Intermediate Care and Infectious Diseases Dr. Soetomo General Academic Hospital Surabaya. Methods: This is a descriptive retrospective study with a cross-sectional design. The study subject was classified as all HIV-AIDS patients with mucocutaneous manifestations treated in Intermediate Care and Infectious Diseases Dr. Soetomo General Academic Hospital Surabaya in 2019. Result: Out of the 614 patients who participated in the study, 72.1% were males. The majority of patients were in the age group 25–49 years (75.4%). The most common risk factor was heterosexuality (41.7%). Based on the distribution of mucocutaneous manifestations, the most common mucocutaneous manifestation was candidiasis mucocutan 387 patients (49.4%) followed by the pruritic papular eruption (PPE) 118 patients (15.1%) and human papillomavirus infection 57 patients (7.3%). Conclusion: Mucocutaneous manifestations occur throughout the course of HIV infection, and they can be considered as good clinical indicators for the progression of the disease and underlying immune status in resource-poor settings.

Abstract

Background: Vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC) is one of the most prevalent genital tract diseases in women. The identification of the isolated Candida species is critical for guiding empirical antifungal therapy. Purpose: To determine the Candida species that cause vulvovaginal candidiasis in pregnancy at the Obstetrics and Gynecology Outpatient Clinic, Dr. Soetomo General Academic Hospital, thus providing scientific and therapeutic benefits. Methods:  Pregnant woman receiving antenatal care (ANC) at Dr. Soetomo General Academic Hospital Obstetric and Gynecology Outpatient Clinic. Subjects were enrolled in a cross-sectional study during 3 months between March and May 2021. Vaginal swab samples were taken from subjects after informed consent. A specific color change in CHROMagar cultures and VITEK 2 compact were used to identify Candida species. Result: During the study period, 15 pregnant patients were diagnosed with VVC. The majority of the women in the study were pregnant women of sexually active age who complained of a whitish body and genital irritation. There were 18 candida isolates from CHROMagar cultures, with C. non albicans (61.1%) predominating over C. albicans (38.3%). With details, non albicans were C. glabrata (54.4%), C. dubliniensis (36.3%), and C. parapsilosis (18.1%). Conclusion: This study revealed a high prevalence of Candida non-albicans species causing VVC. Culture investigation and identification of Candida are critical to avoid diminished susceptibility to antifungal treatments and recurrence.

Abstract

Background: Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common skin cancer and can cause local tissue damage. BCC can occur in all populations, regardless of skin color. Dermoscopy has compatibility with histopathology in determining the benign or malignant nature of a lesion. Dermoscopy can improve the diagnostic accuracy of BCC by >90%, with 7 parameters that can be found: arborizing vessels, blue-gray ovoid nests, blue-gray dots/globules, maple leaf-like areas, spoke-wheel areas, ulceration, and hiny white areas. Purpose: To assess the compatibility of each dermoscopy parameter with its corresponding histopathological parameters. Methods: Observational analytic study with a cross-sectional approach was performed. Dermoscopy parameters were obtained by reassessing all photographs, while histopathological parameters were obtained from pre-existing slide reviews. Cohen's Kappa test was performed to analyze both variables. Result: A Total of 26 samples met the inclusion criteria. Most BCCs were found in female sex (65.4%), age >50 years (80.8%), and facial location (88.5%). Cohen's Kappa test was significant in 2 out of 7 dermoscopy parameters: "blue-gray ovoid nests" (p = 0.0019; r = 0.458) and "spoke wheel areas" (p = 0.037; r = 0.371). The "shiny white areas” parameter could not be analyzed because there was no negative variation in the examination. The possibility of false positives and negatives could not be ruled out.  Conclusion: Significance between the two variables is found in 28.6% of the 7 parameters analyzed...
