Abstract

Background: The pathogenesis of Henoch-Schonlein Purpura (HSP), a multisystem organ-involved small vessel vasculitis, is unknown. HSP is more common in youngsters than in adults. HSP is associated with a history of malignancies, medications, vaccinations, and upper respiratory tract infections. Painful purpura, arthritis, stomach discomfort, and renal involvement are symptoms that may be seen in HSP patients. Adult patients had a much higher rate of renal involvement than children. Purpose: To report a case of HSP in an adult with gastrointestinal and renal involvement. Case: A 45-year-old man complained of an arm, leg, and waist rash for two weeks before admission to the hospital. He also has stomach pains, nausea, and vomiting to deal with. His symptoms have just appeared now for the first time. During a renal function test, blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and creatine serum levels rose. On a urinalysis, proteinuria and microscopic hematuria were found. Leucocytoclastic vasculitis was discovered during the histopathology investigation. HSP diagnosis was based on the ACR and ICC criteria. The patient was given 3x2 tablets of 0.5 mg dexamethasone, 3x2 tablets of cetirizine, 2x10 mg lisinopril, 2x50 mg ranitidine injection, and 2 grams ceftriaxone. Discussion: The clinical symptoms of HSP are used to make the diagnosis. In the vast majority of instances, the treatment is only supportive therapy. Corticosteroid usually are usually used for HSP with multisystem organ involvement to reduce pain severity and faster resolution of renal manifestation. Conclusion: Follow up on renal function is needed to monitor the worsening of renal disease.

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.
