Abstract

Buschke Lowenstein tumor (BLT)/giant condyloma acuminatum is a rare variant of a sexually transmitted infection caused by human papillomavirus (HPV) type 6 and 11. HPV has its viral factors that exist to avoid immune surveillance and control through 1) infecting only the basal layer of the epithelium, 2) downregulation of host immunity, 3) suppression of proinflammatory proteins essential for viral clearance. The incidence of BLT/GCA is estimated to be 0.1% in the general population, with males having 2.7 times increased risk than females. A BLT/GCA is characterized by verrucous tumor or palpable cauliflower-likemass, exophytic growth, flesh-colored, and uneven surface. The definitive diagnosis of BLT/GCA is typical morphology along with histopathological examination, and/or viral serotyping. Treatment of BLT/GCA requires a multidisciplinary approach, determined based on age, the extent of the lesion, organ involvement, and organ location.

Abstract

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic outbreak causes a worldwide health concern. As the epidemic progressed, several cutaneous manifestations are increasingly noticed; therefore, the authors hope this report will provide additional information that may benefit fellow healthcare professionals. Case report: A 45 years old Javanese female patient complained of fatigue, dry cough, dyspepsia, and reddish pruritic swelling on her face for one day. There was no fever, dyspnea, anosmia, diarrhea, or uvula, tongue, vocal cords, and the airway problem. She had no history of food or drug allergy, urticaria, other comorbidities, or any medicine consumption in the last 15 days. Facial dermatological status showed circumscribed, raised, erythematous areas of edema, slightly pruritic. Normal vital signs. Blood laboratory results: leucocyte 5.760/mL, decreased ALC 818/mL, increased NLR 5.0. Chest X-ray showed an increase in bronchovascular pattern and slight opacity on the peripheral, basal part of both hemithorax. COVID-19 rapid test was positive for IgM, and her PCR of upper-airway secretions revealed positive COVID-19 infection. The diagnoses were COVID-19 infection, dyspepsia, and urticaria. The treatments were levofloxacin, isoprinosine, chloroquine sulfate, omeprazole, fluimucyl, vitamin C, and diphenhydramine. Within three days of treatment, the urticaria started to fade off, and her overall condition improved. Conclusion: The COVID-19 poses a global challenge in the health sector, and one of its various manifestations is cutaneous symptoms. Further research is necessary to elucidate how COVID-19 triggers dermatological symptoms.

Abstract

Scabies is a parasitic disease of the skin that is difficult to enforce if the clinical symptoms are not typical. The diagnosis relies on clinical symptoms to be less efficient and only has a sensitivity of less than 50% because it is difficult to distinguish active infestations, residual skin reactions, or reinfestations. Misdiagnosis results in wrong treatment and causes the patient to not recover and continues to be a source of infection for the environment. The exact diagnosis of scabies is determined by finding mites or eggs on laboratory tests, but mites are difficult to find because only a few mites infest sufferers. For this reason, various studies in the world have tried to develop diagnostic methods in the enforcement of scabies. This article will describe the trend of establishing a diagnosis of scabies, as well as the advantages and disadvantages in its application.

Abstract

Background: Leprosy is strongly influenced by the host immunity response. One of the cytokines that play a role in cellular immunity is IL-2. IL-2 will stimulate macrophages to activate phagocytosis and form granulomas, and this occurs in the tuberculoid type of leprosy.Objective: Aim of this study was to verify the IL-2 serum levels are negatively correlated or not with bacterial index in leprosy.Methods: This study was a cross-sectional observational analytic study involving 50 leprosy subjects (41 MB and 9 PB types). Study was conducted at Dermatolovenerology Polyclinic of Sanglah General Hospital from December 2019 to March 2020. Sample was taken using a consecutive sampling method. IL-2 serum levels were measured by ELISA. Result: The mean of IL-2 serum in PB was 75.53±10.32 pg/mL and in MB was 37.59±17.13 pg/mL. Strong negative correlation (r= -0.67; p<0.001) between serum IL-2 levels with bacterial index (CI 95%= 25.96–49.93; p<0.001) was found. Every 1 pg/mL increase in IL-2 serum levels will be accompanied by a decrease in the bacterial index of 0.039 and vice versa. Determinant coefficient shows that 42.2% of bacterial index affected by the IL-2 serum levels. Low IL-2 serum levels were the risk factor of high bacterial index 2.8 times (PR= 2.8; CI 95%= 1.444–5.519; p<0.001).Conclusion: IL-2 serum levels were found to be higher in PB than MB. There was a negative correlation between IL-2 serum levels with bacterial index. Low IL-2 serum levels were the risk factor of a high bacterial index in leprosy patients.

Abstract

Vulvovaginal Candidiasis (VVC) is the second most common cause of vaginitis after bacterial vaginosis. VVC often occurs in women of reproductive age (20-40 years). Risk factors for VVC can be divided into two, such as host factors (pregnancy, hormone replacement, uncontrolled diabetes mellitus, immunosuppression, antibiotics, use of glucocorticoids, genetic influences) and behavioral factors (oral   contraceptives, cotraceptives and also some sexual habits, hygiene, and clothes that are used). To diagnose VVC in a person, evaluation from anamnesis and clinical manifestation can be conducted. It can also be confirmed by laboratory examination. The management based on the classification. Uncomplicated VVC is most effectively treated with topical azoles, but a single dose of fluconazole can also be given orally. Treatment of VVC with complications can be given fluconazole 150 mg for 3 days or topical azole for 7 days. However, when the VVC case that caused by Candida non-albicans not responding to conventional treatment such as antimycotics, the   amphotericin B can be given to cure the disease. VVC caused by Candida glabrata can be given topical boric acid or flucytosine. This article consists of several theoretical references that has been viewed to have a better understanding regarding candidiasis vulvovaginitis.
