Abstract

Psoriasis is a chronic, immune-mediated disorder that results from a polygenic predisposition. Nitric oxide (NO) has been considered as important factors in the pathogenesis of psoriasis. This study aims to determine the correlation of serum NO levels with the type and severity of psoriasis. This cross-sectional study was conducted from May to September 2018. Difference in the average of serum NO levels in psoriasis patients with control groups is analyzed using t-test. The Spearman correlation test was used to see the correlation of serum NO levels with type and severity of psoriasis measured by Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) score. There was significant difference between serum NO level in the control group compared to the group of psoriasis patients (p=0.037). Patient with generalized pustular psoriasis has the highest mean of NO level (59.07 µmol/L). There was no significant correlation between serum NO level with type (r=0.008, p=0.9710 and severity (r=0.157, p=0.486) of psoriasis. Nitric oxide levels are elevated in psoriasis patients, which indicate that oxidative stress plays an important role in the etiopathogenesis of psoriasis.

Abstract

Background: Green nail syndrome is one of the chromonychia caused by infection of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, characterized by onycholysis and greenish-black discoloration of the nail. There were no reports regarding the incidence of green nail syndrome in Indonesia. Predisposing factors for the occurrence of green nail syndrome include onychomycosis, high activity in moist and wet conditions, diabetes mellitus, and immunosuppression. Case: A 51-year-old man complained about greenish-black discoloration on his fingernails. Dermatological examination in 1st and 3rd digit of the right hand, as well as 1st digit of the left hand, found multiple greenish-black discoloration with onychodystrophy. Dermoscopy examination of the affected nails showed greenish-black pigmentation in the distolateral nails with peripheral fading. Culture examination using MacConkey agar showed colonies of greenish-brown pigments. The patient was diagnosed with green nail syndrome and treated with ciprofloxacin 500 mg/day and topical polymixin B eye drops b.i.d. for 3 weeks, resulting in good outcome. Discussion: The diagnosis of green nail syndrome is made based on anamnesis, physical examination, and bacterial culture. showing a distinctive feature. The predisposition factor in this case, is the frequent washing hands habit of the patient up to more than ten times per day. Treatment using topical eye drops facilitates the absorption of active ingredients into the nails.

Abstract

Psoriasis belongs to erythrosquamous dermatosis with uncertain etiology. Nitric oxide (NO) that acts as growth and differentiation regulator of keratinocytes is thought to play an important role in the pathogenesis of this disease. This study was aimed to determine the difference of nitric oxide serum level with the severity and duration of psoriasis patients. A cross-sectional study was conducted in 22 subjects with psoriasis vulgaris in the outpatient clinic of Dr. Moewardi Hospital Surakarta from May-September 2018 with 22 healthy individuals as control group. The severity of psoriasis was assessed using psoriasis area severity index (PASI), and serum NO is measured using Greiss method. Data then analysed using T-test and Kruskal Wallis tests (p<0.05). There was a significant difference in serum NO between the psoriasis patients and control group (p=0.020); there was no significant difference between serum NO patients and PASI score and duration of disease. It can be concluded that NO is an important factor in the inflammatory process in psoriasis, especially in active lesion.

Abstract

Introduction: Pyoderma gangrenosum (PG) is a rare inflammatory disease characterized by sterile, predominantly neutrophilic infiltration of the skin and other organs. PG is found particularly in women aged between 40-60 years. Metabolic syndrome is reported to have a potential role to induce PG. Case: A 45-year-old woman came to Dr. Moewardi Hospital with chief complaints of ulcer in the chest and legs that was preceded by reddish fluid filled bump which then broke into painful wound. History of trauma, gastrointestinal, and joint pain was denied. Dermatological examination of anterior trunk region and inferior extremity showed erythematous patches with multiple ulcers with irregular border covered with hemorrhagic crusts and necrotic tissue. Pathergy test was negative. In the right and left axillary, inframammary and inguinal, there were hyperpigmented patches with scales and satellite lesions, KOH 10% examination obtained pseudohyphae and cell budding. The patient also has metabolic syndrome. Diagnosis of PG was made based on the presence of 2 major and 2 minor criteria. Patient was given intravenous methylprednisolone 93.75 mg/24 hours, analgesics, antibiotics, topical antifungals, debridement and breast reconstructive surgery after response to steroid therapy was seen. The patient was discharges from hospital with improvement. Discussion: Metabolic syndrome is considered to be a risk factor contributing to the development of systemic chronic inflammatory processes and has been described as one of the precipitating factors for PG and skin candidiasis. Management of metabolic syndrome as the known risk factor aims to minimize the recurrence of PG in the future.

Abstract

Striae or strechmark is a form of benign skin lesion manifested as inflammatory streaks perpendicular to the direction of skin tension which has cosmetic morbidity and possesses risk of secondary infection in severe case. Various therapeutic modalities have been introduced, such as topical therapy, physical therapy using devices, lasers, and the latest is celullar therapy using platelet-rich plasma. Such varied treatment modalities are reported to have varied results.
