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

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, hor-mone replacement, uncontrolled diabetes mellitus, immunosuppression, antibiotics, use of glucocorticoids, genetic influences) and behavioral factors (oral contracep-tives, sexual habits, hygiene, and clothes that are used). To diagnose VVC in a per-son, evaluation from anamnesis and clinical manifestation can be conducted. It can also be confirmed by laboratory examination. The management is based on the clas-sification. Uncomplicated VVC is most effectively treated with topical azoles, but a single dose of fluconazole can also be given orally. Treatment of VVC with compli-cations can be given fluconazole 150 mg for 3 days or topical azole for 7 days. However, when the VVC case that caused by non-albicans Candida 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 have been viewed to have a better understanding of candidiasis vulvovaginitis.

Abstract

Buschke Lowenstein tumor (BLT)/giant condyloma acuminatum is a rare variant of 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. 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: 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 leprosy tuberculoid type. 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. Ridley’s scale was used to determine bacterial index (BI). 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 the BI is affected by the IL-2 serum levels. Low IL-2 serum levels were the risk factor of high BI 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

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

Background: Acne vulgaris is a chronic inflammation of the pilosebaceous gland that may result in non-inflammatory and inflammatory lesions. A hypermelanotic reaction to skin inflammation causes post-acne hyperpigmentation (PAH). It can occur secondary to the inflammation process and, depending on the severity, may persist for a prolonged period. Objective To determine the effectiveness of galactomyces ferment filtrate (GFF), dexpanthenol, and Centella asiatica combination serum in the treatment of PAH Methods: This was a placebo-controlled randomized clinical trial. Sixty-eight subjects were divided into two groups: the experimental group received combination serum while the control group received a placebo for eight weeks. Three drops of serum were applied to the area with PAH twice daily in the morning and night. The melanin, erythema, roughness, and L*, a*, and b* scores were assessed objectively using mexameter, chromameter and skin analyzer every two weeks. Pearson’s correlation test and independent T-test were used to assess the trend of the parameters and compare the results of both groups. Results: The results of statistical calculations using the Pearson correlation test showed the treatment group showed a significant decreasing trend of the melanin and spots score. Both groups showed a significant decreasing trend in erythema, L* score and roughness. However, no significant difference was found between both groups in all parameters. Conclusion: The combination serum may decrease the melanin and spot scores suggesting that it affects the melanocyte activity. It has shown good efficacy in treating PAH.

Abstract

Type of scars varies from mild fine line scars to abnormal scars which treatment will differ according to its type, site, symptoms, and severity. Scars have a great impact of human life, namely physically, aesthetically, psychologically, and socially that make choosing the right treatment very important. Treatment for scars can be done conventionally in health care facilities and traditionally. Chinese traditional medicine has been known to have a major role in scar treatment. One of the examples is the use of chicken bile. "Chicken bile", "Chicken bile effect", "Wounds", and "Wound healing process" were the keywords applied to scientific online databases. Wound healing is composed of three initial stages, such as inflammatory, proliferative, and remodeling stage. Chicken bile is known to have a low but strong bilirubin level with little biliverdin. These agents can serve as antipyretic, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-atherogenic that can aide wound healing. Bile also supports protein metabolism, fat metabolism, energy production, and synthesis of glycogen. Most importantly, bile contains matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) that function to degrade type IV collagen which have an important role in wound reepithelization process, altering wound matrix, enabling cell to migrate, and tissue remodeling. Thus, it is certain that MMPs are essential in wound healing.

Abstract

COVID-19 poses a new challenge to healthcare workers with a new standard of care and managing COVID-19 patients. Healthcare workers must adhere to stricter hand hygiene, and the new personal protective equipment (PPE) protocol brings forth new problems for healthcare workers. Skin problems have become the most common and preventable adverse effects of the daily and prolonged use of PPE. This could inadvertently cause protocol breaches, such as mask touching, scratching, or off-protocol PPE adjustment. Damage in the skin could also cause discomfort, and skin exposure may serve as a new port of entry for a secondary infection. This study reviewed adverse effects, prevention, and therapy of skin problems related to COVID-19 PPE use.

Abstract

Background: Melasma is acquired chronic hyperpigmentation mainly affecting women. The pathogenesis of melasma is uncertain, but it is predominantly related to ultraviolet (UV) exposure. Due to its chronic and relapsing nature, melasma is challenging to treat. The currently available treatment often has undesirable side effects and suboptimal results. The treatment principle includes protecting from UV radiation, inhibiting melanin synthesis, and increasing the pathway to remove melanin. Objectives: To define available treatments for melasma and determine advantages and disadvantages, including topical, oral and procedural. Method: Medline, Cochrane library and PubMed databases were searched for articles from January 2011 to June 2020. Only RCTs, comparative, prospective, retrospective and systematic reviews focusing on melasma treatments were extracted, analyzed and discussed. Results: We found 197 studies that met the inclusion and exclusion criteria, with 2314 participants included in this review. The treatments included topical, oral and procedural. In several studies, hydroquinone alone or combination remains the most effective treatment for melasma. Oral and topical tranexamic acid is a beneficial adjuvant treatment in refractory melasma with minimal adverse effects. Procedural treatments such as chemical peels, laser and light-based therapies, and microneedling have mixed and unpredictable results. Overall, the side effects tend to be mild and affect a few of the subjects. Conclusions: The current state of the evidence suggests that some treatments with multiple modalities have their respective advantages and disadvantages. The choice of treatment modality must be adjusted according to the type of melasma, such as its severity, extent and location. A better understanding of melasma through further research may improve the therapy options with the least adverse effects.
