Abstract

Background: Leprosy is a chronic infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium leprae, which tends to attack peripheral nerves and skin. The diagnosis of leprosy is based on the presence of one of three cardinal signs. Early diagnosis of leprosy is critical and is made through clinical examination and investigation. Purpose: To discuss the diagnosis, laboratory examination, and treatment of leprosy, considering that early diagnosis and appropriate treatment are the key elements in breaking the chain of transmission and preventing leprosy patients' disabilities. Review: Leprosy is a chronic granulomatous infectious disease caused by the Mycobacterium leprae. Based on clinical appearance, histopathology findings, and immunological, leprosy is grouped into six forms using the Ridley-Jopling classification, namely Tuberculoid (TT), Borderline Tuberculoid (BT), Borderline-borderline Mid-borderline (BB), Borderline-lepromatous (BL), Subpolar Lepromatous (LLs), and Polar Lepromatous (LLp). Based on the treatment category, leprosy is grouped into paucibacillary (PB) and multibacillary (MB). Leprosy is often diagnosed clinically, and skin scraping smear remains the preferred laboratory method. The negative results of smear skin scraping may not necessarily exclude leprosy. Therefore, a higher sensitivity test might be needed to detect M. leprae. Treatment with Multi-Drug Therapy (MDT) is adjusted based on the type of leprosy, whether it belongs to the PB or MB group. Treatment of PB type, regimens are rifampicin and dapsone, while in MB type, the patients received rifampicin, dapsone, and clofazimine regimens. Conclusion: A proper diagnosis for leprosy, both through physical examination and laboratory examination, is required to determine an effective MDT treatment and break the chain of disease transmission.

Abstract

Background: Xanthelasma is an abnormal lipid deposition on palpebrae, which is observable as yellowish plaque or nodules. Its incidence is 0.56–1.5% with onset of 15–73 years old and mostly occurs in the fourth and fifth decade. Few reports of xanthelasma did not cover the correlation between lipid profile and xanthelasma in Indonesia. Purpose: To find a correlation between lipid profile with xanthelasma in Dr. M. Djamil Hospital, Padang. Methods: This was an analytic cross-sectional study with consecutive sampling. There were 36 participants (18 xanthelasma and 18 control). Result: The highest age group was >36 - ≤45 years old (38.89%). More cases were observed in female (66.67%). Body mass index examination of xanthelasma revealed that most were overweight (55.56%). Grade I xanthelasma was the most common (72.22%). The cholesterol serum level of xanthelasma patients was higher than the subject controls (224.61±29.77 mg/dl versus­ 169.39±35.84 mg/dl) (p<0,05). The High Density Lipoprotein (HDL)  serum level of xanthelasma patients was lower than controls (46.44±14.19 mg/dl versus 51.78±15.9 mg/dl) (p>0,05). The Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL) serum level of xanthelasma patients was higher than control (139.39±29.73 mg/dl versus 106.50±35.43 mg/dl) (p<0,05). Triglyceride serum level of xanthelasma patients was higher than the controls (167.83±87.26 mg/dl versus 121.61±54.52 mg/dl) (p>0,05). Conclusion: There was a correlation between higher cholesterol and LDL serum level with xanthelasma. No correlation between lower HDL and a higher triglyceride serum level with xanthelasma.

Abstract

Background: Gonorrhea refers to a set of clinical conditions involving infection with the sexually acquired bacterial pathogen, Neisseria gonorrhoeae. One of the simplest gonococcal infections in women involves mucosal surfaces of the endocervix that cause cervicitis, a frequently asymptomatic inflammatory condition that results in an abnormal mucopurulent discharge and cervical friability. Purpose: To report a case of cervicitis gonorrhea in a female patient whose sexual partner had a hisstory of unprotected promiscuous intercource with multiple sex worker. Case: A 24-year-old female patient presented with increased vaginal discharge for 4 days. Her husband had a history of having sexual intercourse with a sex worker 8 days before. Physical examination revealed mucopurulent exudate in the genitalia and endocervical canal. The Gram staining showed numerous leucocytes and Gram-negative intracellular diplococci, while the result of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) examination for Chlamydia trachomatis was negative. The patient was treated with single-dose cefixime 400 mg orally and doxycycline 100 mg orally twice a day for 7 days. Discussion: The present case report showed cervicitis gonorrhea co-infected with a nonspecific genital infection that was felt asymptomatic and unintentionally found when the patient accompanied her husband to Sexually Transmitted Infection (STI) clinic. The presumptive treatment of cervicitis directed against N. gonorrhoeae and C. trachomatis in this patient leads to a complete cure of the disease. Conclusion: It is important to treat the sexual partner of a patient with urethritis gonorrhea. The empiric treatment of cervicitis that is directed against N. gonorrhoeae and also against C. trachomatis is mandatory in preventing further possible complications.

Abstract

Background: Pityriasis Versicolor (PV) is a fungal infection of the skin, caused by the Malassezia sp., a genus of fungi. Patients commonly present with bordered skin patches of white, grey, and sometimes brown on their skin surface. The prominent changing of skin colour in exposed areas of the skin may cause feelings of insecurity to the patients and become limelight for other people, impacting their self esteem. Purpose: To evaluate the self esteem profile in PV patients at the dermatovenereology outpatient clinic of Dr. Soetomo General Academic Teaching Hospital Surabaya. Methods: This was a retrospective descriptive study based on medical records of the dermatovenereology outpatient clinic of Dr. Soetomo General Academic Teaching Hospital Surabaya. The data were collected from June 2018 to May 2019. This research evaluates PV patients's profiles by age, sex, education level, occupation, residential environment, site of infection, duration of the infection, and self esteem. The patient's self esteem was assessed using the Rosenberg Self Esteem Scale (RSES). Result: Fiftythree PV patient’s self esteem values were successfully recorded. Of the 53 patients, the score was low in 3 people (5.67%), the normal score in 50 people (94.33%), and no one had a high score. Of the 3 people with low self esteem scores, 2 of them were men, consisting of 1 teenager and 2 adults, having basic education levels, who were students and housewives. The three patients had the infection for more than 3 months and they resided in Tambaksari, Wonocolo, and outside Surabaya. Conclusion: The majority of PV patients at the dermato-venereology outpatient clinic of Dr. Soetomo General Academic Teaching Hospital have normal self esteem scores.

Abstract

Background: Photoaging, also called extrinsic aging, is a premature skin aging mainly resulting from prolonged and extended exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Amniotic Membrane Stem Cell Metabolite Products (AMSC-MP) are derived from amniotic membranes that contain cytokines and growth factors that have a role in the skin rejuvenation process. Vitamin E is an antioxidant that has a photoprotective effect, so it is expected to reduce the appearance of clinical signs of photoaging. Not only having skin rejuvenation effect, but microneedling is also expected to facilitate the penetration to increase the efficacy of AMSC-MP and vitamin E. This combination is expected to have a better effect on clinical photoaging improvement. Purpose: To evaluate the effect of a topical combination of AMSC-MP and vitamin E after microneedling on the clinical improvement of photoaging compared to previous skin conditions. Methods: Thirty adult women with photoaging topically administered a combination of AMSC-MP and vitamin E after 3 microneedling sessions at 2 weeks intervals. The evaluation of the improvement of the degree of pores, wrinkles, skin tone and dark spots were performed with the Janus-II Facial Skin Scope System. Result: There was a clinical improvement with a statistically significant difference in terms of the degree of pores, wrinkles, polarized black spots, and UV black spots, which were statistically significant differences (p <0.05). Conclusion: The administration of a topical combination of AMSC-MP and vitamin E after microneedling provided clinical improvement in photoaging as supported by the results of Janus analysis of pores, wrinkles, skin tones, polarized black spots, and UV black spots.

Abstract

Background: Skin metastasis from gastric cancer are relatively rare, but they have important clinical significance because they usually indicate a worse prognosis. Skin metastasis from gastric cancer may spread through lymphatic ducts, blood vessels in the ligamentum teres, contiguous extension, or embryologic remnants of the umbilicus. Purpose: To report an unusual skin metastasis from gastric cancer that clinically resembles as a benign lesion of skin papules. Case: A rare metastasis from gastric cancer origin in a 61-year-old male in the abdominal skin. Gastric cancer metastasis in an unusual site such as the abdominal skin often resembles as dermatitis, especially in the early course of metastatic spreading, which looked like common papules on the skin. Discussion: In the beginning, the skin papules were not suspected to be a metastatic process because there was no palpable or no tenderness in the subcutan or fascia underneath. The appearance resembled common dermatitis. However, as papules rapidly spread to the surrounding skin, the malignancy was then suspected. The incisional biopsy from the papules was performed and showed that it was metastatic diffuse-type gastric adenocarcinoma. Conclusion:  The skin metastasis was different from general nodules, but rather as skin papules of general dermatitis in initial appearance. The surgeon and dermatologist should be alert if they find any benign appearance of a skin lesion on the abdominal wall in a patient with a history of gastric cancer surgery.

Abstract

Background: Chronic plantar ulcers in leprosy (CPUL) increase morbidity, increase medical costs, cause loss of productivity, and decrease quality of life. CPUL is a severe complication of leprosy disease with a 10-20% incidence. In general, CPUL consume a significant amount of time to heal. Green tea extract contains high amount of Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG). EGCG functions as antiinflammatory, antimicrobial, and immunomodulator. This suggests that EGCG is effective for dermal wound treatment by facilitating reepithelialization. Purpose: To investigate the effect of topical EGCG 1% on the CPUL healing process. Methods: The topical EGCG 1% were applied every three days for eight weeks. Size of the ulcers, side effects and possible complications were monitored weekly. Result: There were significant clinical and statistical differences in the size and depth of the ulcers (p=0.000), as observed in the EGCG group. There was no side effect and complication found. Conclusions: Topical EGCG 1% was effective for CPUL healing. Sixty three point six percent of the ulcers were clinically healed, 31.8% demonstrated improvement, and 4.6% no effect was observed.

Abstract

Background: Gonorrhea remains the second most common sexually transmitted infection (STI) in the world with an increasing number of cases. Oral cefixime and IM ceftriaxone are still the mainstay therapy for gonorrhea in Indonesia. However, previous studies suggested possible resistance to ceftriaxone and cefixime, which are the first-line treatment of gonorrhea. To date, there are no data available regarding the susceptibility of these antibiotics for the treatment of gonorrhea in Dr. Saiful Anwar General Hospital (RSSA) Malang. Purpose: Determine susceptibility pattern of Neisseria gonorrhoeaetowards cefixime and ceftriaxone in RSSA Malang. Methods: The samples were patients of the Outpatient Clinic of Dermatology and Venereology Department with a symptom of discharge which contained Gram-negative diplococcus after Gram staining and had a positive culture of Neisseria gonorrhoeae. Susceptibility testing for cefixime and ceftriaxone antibiotics were performed using the Kirby-Bauer method. The data are presented in percentages. Result: Antibiotic susceptibility test results showed that 80.77% of Neisseria gonorrhoeaeisolates were still susceptible to cefixime, and 80.77% of isolates were still susceptible to ceftriaxone. Conclusion: Cefixime and ceftriaxone are still effective as gonorrhea therapy in RSSA Malang.
