Abstract

Background: Malassezia folliculitis (MF) is the most common fungal folliculitis, and it is caused by yeast of the genus Malassezia. MF may be difficult to be distinguished clinically from acne and other types of folliculitis, causing misdiagnosis and improper treatment. Dermoscopy has been very useful to support the diagnosis of several types of folliculitis, including MF. Purpose: To know the role of dermoscopic examination in MF. Review: The diagnosis of MF can be identified by usual clinical presentation with direct microscopy and culture of the specimen, Wood's light examination, histopathological examination, and rapid efficacy of oral antifungal treatments. Several studies reported that dermoscopy provides a deeper level of the image that links the clinical morphology and the underlying histopathology. Some dermoscopic patterns are observed consistently with certain diseases, including MF, so these could be used for establishing their diagnosis. The dermoscopic features of MF seem to correlate with the current understanding of its etiopathogenesis. Conclusion: Dermoscopic examination in MF will reveal dermoscopic patterns including folliculocentric papule and pustules with surrounding erythema, dirty white perilesional scales, coiled/looped hairs with perifollicular erythema and scaling, hypopigmentation of involved hair follicles, and dotted vessels.

Abstract

Background: Leprosy is a chronic infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium leprae. Cases of leprosy in children are rarely found because of the long incubation period of Mycobacterium leprae. Purpose: To report a case of mid-borderline leprosy with a mild type 1 reaction in a seven-years-old girl patient. Case: A 7-years-old girl patient presented with multiple red and white patches on her face, body, arms, legs, and buttocks since 6 months before. There was no itching, numbness, painr fever. There was no thickening of peripheral nerves and no nerve function impairment. Her grandmother was suspected to have leprosy, but she had never been treated and had already passed away. From the acid fast bacilli (AFB) examination, the bacterial index (BI) was 1+ and the morphological index (MI) was 2%. A serologic test examination was also performed and the result were Immunoglobulin (Ig) G  3716 u/ml and IgG 284 u/ml. The patient got multidrugs therapy for 12 months and after 9 months of treatment, the pre-existing patches became erythematous, thickened, and felt pain when touched, but there was no fever. In the presence of pain, oral ibuprofen was then administered and the patches began to improveDiscussion: Due to the possibility of leprosy reaction, it is important to immediately give prompt treatment to children with type 1 leprosy reaction that is associated with neuritis and leads to deformities. Conclusion: Early diagnosis and therapy for a type 1 leprosy reaction are very important to prevent deformities.

Abstract

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic causes health workers to use level 2 and level 3 personal protective equipment. Hand washing and the use of latex gloves are important in limiting the spread of COVID-19, but they can potentially induce hand eczema and skin pH disturbance if used too frequently. Purpose: Determine the correlation between the frequency of handwashing and duration of using hand sanitizer and moisturizer as well as skin pH level on the incidence of hand eczema in nurses in the COVID-19 treatment room at RSUD Dr. Moewardi Surakarta. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in the COVID-19 treatment room at RSUD Dr. Moewardi Surakarta with 90 nurses as subjects. A validated questionnaire carried out the frequency of handwashing, hand sanitizer, moisturizer, duration of using latex gloves, and hand eczema complaints. The subject’s pH assessment was conducted after 4-5 hours in the COVID-19 treatment room. Data were analyzed bivariately with a Spearman rank correlation test. Result: There was a significant correlation with the incidence of hand eczema with the frequency of handwashing with soap (r=0.305 and p=0.003) and the duration of using latex gloves (r=0.328 and p=0.002) with a weak category correlation (r=0.200-0.399). The frequency of using hand sanitizer, moisturizer, and skin pH did not correlate with the incidence of hand eczema. Conclusion: Frequency of handwashing and the duration of using latex gloves correlated with the incidence of hand eczema, meanwhile frequency of using hand sanitizer, using moisturizer, and skin pH didn’t correlate with the incidence of hand eczema.

Abstract

Background: Psoriasis with higher Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) scores correlate with impaired quality of life. Assessing narrowband ultraviolet B (NB-UVB) phototherapy as a new therapy option in Indonesia is necessary to find the most effective treatment for psoriasis patients. Purpose: To determine the usage of NB-UVB phototherapy and the therapy response in psoriasis patients. Methods: This retrospective descriptive observational study was conducted at Dr. Soetomo General Academic Hospital Surabaya in March 2019-November 2020. The variables were collected through medical records. Result: A total of 28 patients were obtained at this study. Psoriasis type plaque/vulgaris were found in 92.9% of the patients. The patients mostly started with PASI score >10 with the initial dose of NB-UVB phototherapy is 260 mJ/cm2. The most common initial phototherapy frequency is 3 times per week (53.6%). The latest dose and frequency distribution was varied in each subject. The mean total number of sessions was 31.54 ± 20.549. Patients were also administered various combination therapy. The majority of patients had missed NB-UVB phototherapy sessions and the phototherapy dose needed to be reduced (57.1%). The achievement of PASI-75 (treatment success) was mostly achieved by subjects that went through 40-60 sessions of phototherapy and subjects with psoriasis type plaque/vulgaris. Conclusion: The achievement of PASI-75 was found to be low (17.5%), influenced by multiple factors such as the total number of NB-UVB phototherapy sessions, combination therapy, dose of NB-UVB phototherapy, frequency of NB-UVB phototherapy, and the level of patient compliance to therapy.

Abstract

Background: Orbital cellulitis is an active infection of the orbital soft tissue posterior to the orbital septum, which can cause Tolosa-Hunt Syndrome (THS) complication. Purpose: We reported a child with orbital cellulitis with THS complication caused by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Case: A two-year-old girl complained of swelling and pain in the left eye accompanied by fever. In nasal region and left eye showed multiple erythema patches with geographic shape, size 1x2cm - 4x5cm, unclear border, erosion with sizes 0.5x1cm - 1x1.5 cm size covered with blackish crusts. After several days of hospitalization, she complained of proptosis and pain in moving her eye. We did the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan examination, which showed a mass size of 2.2 x1.1 x 0.9 cm in a left intraconal orbital and dilation of the left-sided cavernous sinus. The blood culture showed MRSA bacteria. She was diagnosed with orbital cellulitis with THS complication and showed a good response with Meropenem, Methylprednisolone, cendo lyteers eye drops, levofloxacin eye drops, and gentamicin eye ointment. Discussion: Orbital cellulitis presents as ill-defined erythema, edema, warmth, and pain around the nasal and the orbital region and is more often found in children. The THS complication is characterized by ophthalmoplegia, unilateral orbital or periorbital pain, unilateral headache, and leukocytosis. Orbital cellulitis management includes antibiotic intravenous, corticosteroid, and eye care. Conclusion: THS is a rare complication of orbital cellulitis. Early diagnosis and management of orbital cellulitis are essential to prevent THS complication.
