Abstract

Background: Physiological changes in a woman's life, such as labor, weight fluctuations, hormonal changes, aging, and menopause, cause changes in both appearance and function of the vagina. As estrogen deficiency continues, changes occur in the form of atrophy and dystrophy in the vaginal mucosa, vulva, and other structures in the urogenital tract which are called symptoms of vulvovaginal atrophy. It affects women's quality of life, self-confidence, and sexuality. As alternative modality for noninvasive therapy, topical therapy in vaginal rejuvenation is becoming available in the care of outpatients. This makes it increasingly important for dermatologists to be well-informed about these treatment options. Purpose: This review aims to assess the role of topical therapy in vaginal rejuvenation, especially in vulvovaginal atrophy cases. Literature Review: Vulvovaginal atrophy has a negative effect on interpersonal relationships, quality of life, daily activities, and sexual function. Topical hormone replacement therapy includes all preparations such as estradiol, estradiol valerate, or conjugated estrogen. considered in cases with vulvovaginal atrophy accompanied by atrophy of the urogenital system as well as the accompanying complaints because this therapy is intended to prevent systemic complications. The topical use of hyaluronic acid, lubricants, moisturizers, and herbs is a therapeutic choice in vulvovaginal atrophy patients contraindicated with estrogen therapy or in patients who do indeed choose nonhormonal therapy. Conclusion: Topical therapy of hormonal and non-hormonal rejuvenation in various studies has shown improvement in symptoms of vaginal dryness, vaginal itching, dyspareunia, cell maturity, and changes in vaginal pH toward acidity.

Abstract

Background: Infantile hemangioma (IH) is the most common benign tumor in infancy. Most IHs resolve spontaneously and do not require treatment. Therapeutic intervention is necessary for life-threatening IH, tumors posing functional risks, ulceration, and severe anatomic distortion, especially on the face. Beta-blockers, most specifically propranolol, have been shown to induce involution of IH, which should be administered as early as possible to avoid potential complications. Purpose: To report a case of IH with visual impairment treated successfully using oral propranolol. Case: A 4-month-old girl weighing, 6.3 kg, with redness plaques on the right face since 3 weeks after birth. The lesions rapidly increased in size within 2 months, and the lesions on her right eyelid made it difficult to open her right eye. Dermatological examination showed erythematous plaques, compressible and varying in size and ptosis. The patient was diagnosed with periocular infantile hemangioma and was given oral propranolol therapy with an initiated dose 3x1 mg. The dose was increased gradually. The lesions were significantly decreased and she could open her right eye normally after 5 months of propranolol therapy. Discussion: Some cases of IH require early treatment. Early treatment is indicated for IH causing functional impairment. The use of propranolol in the management of IH is very effective in the reduction of the lesions and Has minimal side effects. Conclusion: Early diagnosis and intervention with propranolol for IH play an important role in determining the optimal outcomes.

Abstract

Background: Leprosy is a chronic granulomatous infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium leprae (M. leprae) that primarily infects Schwann cells in the peripheral nerves, leading to nerve damage and the development of disabilities. In 2018, Indonesia was the third country with the most leprosy cases in the world. Erythema nodosum leprosum (ENL), also known as type II leprosy reaction, is a severe immune-mediated complication of multibacillary leprosy. Purpose: To report a case of borderline lepromatous leprosy with severe ENL. Case: A 49-year-old Balinese man presented with multiple tender erythematous skin nodules all over his body, fever, arthralgia, bilateral cervical lymphadenopathy, and sensory loss for the past week. The acid-fast bacilli bacteriological examination showed a positive result. The patient was diagnosed with borderline lepromatous (BL) leprosy with severe ENL and was treated with multibacillary multidrug therapy (MB MDT), methylprednisolone, and other symptomatic medications. After 1 month of treatment, there was an improvement in skin lesions. The MB-MDT treatment was continued and methylprednisolone was planned to be tapered down gradually. Discussion: Approximately 20-50% of all leprosy patients show leprosy reactions in the course of the disease. The goals of treatment for severe ENL are to control inflammation, reduce pain, treat neuritis to prevent nerve dysfunction and contractures, and prevent recurring ENL. The prognosis of leprosy with ENL reactions depends on the severity of the occurring leprosy reaction; early diagnosis and prompt treatment; and patient compliance with treatment. Conclusion: Early diagnosis and treatment are essential to avoid deformities in leprosy patients.

Abstract

Background: Psoriasis Vulgaris is an autoimmune disease characterized by chronic skin inflammation and epidermal hyperplasia. Psoriasis Area Severity Index (PASI) score is one of the assessments to measure the psoriasis severity. Oral methotrexate is one of the effective therapies for psoriasis patients. Narrow Band-Ultraviolet B (NB-UVB) phototherapy is an adjunctive psoriasis therapy given concurrently with oral methotrexate. Purpose: Determine the difference in Psoriasis Area Severity Index (PASI) scores between Psoriasis Vulgaris patients treated with oral methotrexate and a combination of oral methotrexate and NB-UVB phototherapy. Methods: This observational analytic study was conducted at the Dermatology and Venereology Clinic, Dr. Moewardi General Hospital Surakarta. The patients received oral methotrexate and a combination of oral methotrexate and and Narrow Band-Ultraviolet B (NB-UVB) phototherapy. A retrospective study of medical records was conducted to determine the patient's PASI score before the therapies and 3 months after. All data were analyzed with the Shapiro Wilk normality test and the independent T-test. A p-value was <0.05, and it was considered significant. Result: The mean of decreased PASI scores in the oral methotrexate group was (6.00 +2.47) and (6.08 +2.17) in the combination therapy group. Based on the statistical test results from the 24 subjects, it was found that the PASI score decreased (p=0.931). Conclusion: There was no significant difference in the decrease in PASI between the oral methotrexate group and the combination therapy group. The mean reduction of PASI scores was more significant in the combination therapy than in the methotrexate group

Abstract

Background: Viral and bacterial skin infection is a common condition amongst children. In developing countries, it is a complex major health problem. However, epidemiological study on viral and bacterial skin infection in the pediatric population is still lacking, especially in Indonesia. Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate bacterial and viral skin infection amongst children and its association with age and sex. Methods: This study used a cross-sectional design with a retrospective approach. We retrieved medical records of pediatric patients admitted to Dr. Harjono S Ponorogo General Public Hospital between 2016 and 2020. Result:  Of the 1,427 collected medical records, we found that the viral infection prevalence was 4.9% (n=70) and 7.5% (n= 107) for bacterial skin infection. Viral infection was most observed amongst subjects in the >12-year age group and 2–12-year for bacterial infection. Infection was more commonly observed amongst boys. Conclusion: The skin infection prevalence in Dr. Harjono S. Ponorogo General Hospital is lower compared to other studies. Skin infection of viral origin was most reported in children aged >12 years and bacterial infection in children aged 2–12. Both skin infections were more commonly observed in boys than girls.

Abstract

Background: Oral candidiasis is an infection caused by Candida sp. in areas of the oral mucosa that are often found in HIV/AIDS patients. Increased antifungal resistance, it was important to find new antifungal candidates, especially from natural ingredients, basil leaf extract (Ocimum sanctum Linn.) which had major compound of eugenol that had an antifungal effect in inhibiting of Candida sp. Purpose: To evaluate the comparison of the antifungal susceptibility of nystatin, basil leaf extract (Ocimum sanctum Linn.) and eugenol against isolates of Candida sp. Methods: This study examined the comparison of the antifungal susceptibility of nystatin 100 IU, basil leaf extract (Ocimum sanctum Linn.) with doses equivalent to 800 µg/mL and 400 µg/mL eugenol, and eugenol 800 µg/mL and 400 µg/mL against 40 stored isolates of Candida sp. from the oral cavity of HIV/AIDS patient which was reactivated. Result: The mean inhibition zone of nystatin for all isolates was 22.98 mm, while the mean inhibition zone of eugenol with doses of 800 µg/mL and 400 µg/mL were 17.07 mm and 15.89 mm, and the mean inhibition zone of basil leaf extract (Ocimum sanctum Linn.) with doses equivalent to 800 µg/mL and 400 µg/mL eugenol are 14.87 mm and 14.01 mm. The inhibition zone of basil leaf extract (Ocimum sanctum Linn.) and eugenol was significantly lower than nystatin (p = 0.001; p < 0.05). Conclusion: The zone of inhibition of nystatin was significantly higher compared to basil leaf extract (Ocimum sanctum Linn.) and eugenol against Candida albicans and Candida non-albicans isolates.

Abstract

Background: Condyloma acuminatum (CA) or genital warts are sexually transmitted infections caused by human papillomavirus (HPV). It is estimated that CA occurs in >80% of reproductive age in many countries, with the most common subtypes being 6 and 11. Purpose: The aim of the study to reveal the high risk (HR)-HPV in various condyloma acuminata in Dr. Moewardi Hospital. Methods: This study was a cross-sectional analytical observational study that assessed data collection concurrently over time. Specimens were patients diagnosed with condyloma acuminatum, biopsies were performed, and immunohistochemical staining was also performed. The sampling technique used sequential sampling, and the inclusion criteria included patients who came to our hospital for treatment. Results: The majority of the male sample was MSM. According to HIV status, 6 (30%) male patients were found to be positive. Immunohistochemistry showed that 15% of the samples were HR-HPV. Statistical test results for HR-HPV and low-risk (LR) HPV were significant, p-value = 0.038. Conclusion: Condyloma acuminatum is a sexually transmitted infection that usually occurs at the same time as HIV infection. In our study all patients with HR-HPV were MSM.
