Abstract

Background: Vitiligo is a disease marked by depigmented macules. Prevalence of vitiligo varies between 0.1- 2.3% worldwide. The objectives of this study are to identify the socio-demographic profile of vitiligo patients and distribution of narrowband-UVB given as a treatment modality. However, in Indonesia, including at dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo General Hospital, there has not been any study on the profile of vitiligo patients. Therefore, a preliminary study on the patients’ profile would be very useful for healthcare providers in calculating the need for narrowband-UVB equipment and evaluation of its current use. Methods: A retrospective descriptive study, using secondary data obtained from dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo General Hospital medical records during the period of 2015-2017. Results: There were 255 vitiligo patients enrolled. Females were greater in number (55.3%). Most patients were distributed evenly in all age groups, highest number of patients were the 21-30 years age group (18.8%). Most patients received elementary school–high school education (56.9%), worked as private employees (36.9%), resided in Jakarta (47.8%). The common diagnosis were unspecified vitiligo (53.3%). Onset of symptoms were mostly around 2 months prior to diagnosis (38.8%) and most of the patients received other treatments other than narrowband-UVB (N=180, 70.6%). Conclusion: The number of vitiligo cases decreased each year with the average vitiligo cases of 85 cases per year and mostly women whereas the number of unspecified vitiligo were quite high. Therefore, more attention is needed from the physicians to treat the patient starting from the establishment of vitiligo to the decision treating with narrowband-UVB.

Abstract

Background: Pemphigus is a potentially life-threatening autoimmune bullous disease. In pemphigus, the therapeutic options are based on the clinical characteristics of each patient. However, other than corticosteroids, most therapeutic options for pemphigus are currently limited. Steroid-sparing agents might be considered since the initiation of therapy to prevent the side effects of corticosteroid. The objective of this study is to identify the clinical characteristics and therapy of choice in patients with pemphigus at Dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo General Hospital. Method: All cases of pemphigus from 2016 to 2018 at Dermato-Allergo-Immunology Clinic, Department of Dermatology and Venerology Dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo General Hospital were included in this study. Data were collected from medical records, including patient’s demographics, clinical data, and therapy. Data were analyzed using SPSS 20. Results: There were 24 new pemphigus cases from 2016 to 2018. Female to male ratio was 3.8:1 with median age of onset of 37.5 (16-73)years old. Pemphigus vulgaris was the most common subtype of pemphigus (75%), followed by pemphigus foliaceus. Number of patients with oropharyngeal mucosal involvement was found higher in pemphigus vulgaris compared to pemphigus foliaceus (p=0.012). Systemic steroid was given in 86.9% patients while the rest were treated with topical corticosteroid only. Steroid-sparing agents were given in 58.3% patients. Remission was achieved in 42.3% cases in average 5 (2-28) months. Conclusion: Pemphigus vulgaris is the most common subtype of pemphigus and corticosteroid remains to be its treatment of choice. The steroid-sparing agents most commonly used in this study are mycophenolate mofetil and azathioprine.

Abstract

Background: Wounds that fail to proceed through the normal healing process are referred to as chronic wounds, also known as ulcers. Chronic wounds have immeasurable biological, psychological, social, and economic effects, bringing tremendous challenges for patients, doctors, healthcare providers, and healthcare systems. Discussion: This condition is associated with a variety of comorbidities and complex etiologies. The global incidence of chronic wounds is expected to increase with longer life expectancy. Thus, a holistic approach is necessary, such as proper wound management, proper control of comorbidities, and provision of adequate nutrition, including vitamin D supplementation. Vitamin D is an essential pro-hormone for cell differentiation, proliferation, and growth. It affects the skin’s immune response, and is therefore thought to promote wound healing and tissue repair. Many studies have been published on the association between low vitamin D levels and chronic wounds. However, whether or not vitamin D supplementation directly contributes to wound healing still needs to be elucidated. Conclusion: Despite the many reports on vitamin D as an adjuvant treatment for chronic wounds, further large-scale clinical studies are needed to cement the role of vitamin D as an effective standard therapy for chronic wound healing.
