Profile of Superficial Mycoses in Pediatric Dermatology Patient
Background: Superficial mycoses in children is a fungal infection of the skin, hair and nails that affected children aged 14 years and below. The superficial mycoses common in children are tinea capitis, pityriasis versicolor and diaper candidiasis. Purpose: To evaluate the distribution of superficial mycoses in pediatric patients in Pediatric Dermatology Division of Dermatology and Venereology Outpatient Clinic in Dr. Soetomo General Hospital Surabaya. Methods: Retrospective study using new patient’s medical record during the period of January 1 2013 until December 31 2015. Results: In period year 2013-2015 the total new superficial mycoses’s pediatric patients is 320 with the precentage in 2013 is 0.4%, in 2014 is 0.5%, and in 2015 is 0.4%. The proportion in male is more than female, and most frequent at aged 5-14 that 54.6%. Most common complain is itchy with the most common diagnosed is pitiriasis versicolor 28.3%. Potasium hydroxide is the most common additional examination in 70.3% and frequent use therapies are ketoconazole and griseofulvin orally. Conclusion: Superficial mycoses especially pitiriasis versicolor in pediatric is still a common issues in Indonesia, specially in Surabaya
Hubungan Kadar Antioksidan Superoxide Dismutase (SOD) dengan Indeks Bakterial (IB) pada Pasien Kusta Baru Tipe Multibasiler (MB) tanpa Reaksi
Latar Belakang: Kusta merupakan penyakit infeksi kronik yang disebabkan oleh kuman Mycobacterium leprae (M. leprae).  Tubuh memiliki beberapa mekanisme pertahanan untuk menghadapi infeksi bakteri M. leprae, diantaranya melalui scavenging dari radikal bebas, antioksidan enzimatik merupakan garis pertahanan pertama melawan reactive oxygen species (ROS). Superoxide dismutase (SOD) adalah salah satu enzim antioksidan utama yang menangkal radikal bebas. Terdapat perburukan status antioksidan pada pasien kusta yang berkorelasi dengan indeks bakterial (IB) dan spektrum kusta. Tujuan: Mengevaluasi hubungan antara kadar SOD dengan IB pada pasien kusta baru tipe multibasiler (MB) tanpa reaksi. Metode: Penelitian ini merupakan rancangan penelitian analitik observasional potong lintang yang bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan kadar SOD dengan IB pada pasien kusta baru tipe MB tanpa reaksi. Hasil: Rerata kadar SOD pada semua pasien 86,02±17,89. Kadar SOD pada IB negatif lebih rendah dibandingkan kadar SOD pada IB +1 sampai +3. Kadar SOD tertinggi didapatkan pada IB +1, dengan median IB 0 = 82,20, IB +1 = 92,10, IB +2 = 85,75 dan IB +3 = 82,94. Hasil uji korelasi menunjukkan tingginya kadar SOD tidak disertai dengan rendahnya nilai IB sehingga tidak terdapat hubungan yang signifikan antara kadar SOD dengan berbagai nilai IB dengan p = 0,909 (p>0,05) r= -0,022. Simpulan: Hasil uji korelasi menunjukkan tingginya kadar SOD tidak disertai dengan rendahnya nilai IB dan penelitian ini tidak terdapat hubungan yang signifikan antara kadar SOD dengan nilai IB
Cutaneous Aspergilosis Caused by Aspergillus Flavus: A Case Report
Background: Cutaneous aspergillosis occurs relatively less frequent and therefore remains poorly characterized. Cutaneous aspergillosis can be as primary or secondary infection. Primary cutaneous aspergillosis usually involves sites of skin injury, intravenous catheter, traumatic inoculation, and associated with occlusive dressings. Secondary lesions result from contiguous extension from infected underlying structures or from widespread blood-borne seeding of the skin. Purpose: To know the skin manifestation, efflorence, examination and therapy of cutaneous aspergillosis. Case: A man complaint itchy redness macule and pimples on the right arm since 2 weeks. Initially just felt a little then expands. Patients with post operative brachial injury and uses a cast during one month. On examination there are erythematous macule unsharply marginated with papules. Potassium hydroxide examination, shows conidiophores, dichotomously branching and septate hyphae appropriate description with Aspergillosis Sp. Cultures found grow granular colonies, flat often with radial grooves, yellow at first but quickly becoming bright to dark yellow-green with age, For the identification microscope from the culture specimen there was conidia, phialde, conidiophore and vesicle that suitable with Aspergillus flavus. Patients received itraconazole 2 x 200 mg for 6 weeks and obtained satisfactory results. Discussion: Healthy hosts can develop cutaneous aspergillosis in surgical wounds, by traumatic inoculation, at sites associated with occlusive dressings. In some instances, a presumptive diagnosis of primary cutaneous aspergillosis can be made immediately by examining a potassium hydroxide preparation and culture. Conclusion: Diagnose of cutaneous aspergillosis can establish by potassium hydroxide and culture examination, therapy with itraconazole 2x 200mg give satisfactory results
HUBUNGAN KADAR ANTIOKSIDAN SUPEROKSID DISMUTASE (SOD) DENGAN INDEKS BAKTERIAL (IB) PADA PASIEN KUSTA BARU TIPE MULTIBASILER (MB) TANPA REAKSI
Dari 30 pasien kusta yang datang berobat ke Divisi Kusta Unit Rawat
Jalan Kesehatan Kulit dan Kelamin RSUD Dr. Soetomo Surabaya sejak Juli
hingga Oktober 2018, dilakukan pemeriksaan kadar SOD dengan metode
pemeriksaan SOD activity assay kit Biovision, disimpulkan:
1. Rerata kadar SOD pada semua pasien 86,020±17,888.
2. Hasil uji korelasi didapatkan tingginya kadar SOD tidak disertai dengan
rendahnya nilai IB dan penelitian ini tidak terdapat hubungan yang signifikan
antara kadar SOD dengan berbagai nilai IB
