Unusual presentation of secondary syphilis mimicking erythema multiforme in HIV positive patient: a case report.

Secondary syphilis is known as "The Great Imitator". It can mimic numerous diseases clinically and histologically, including erythema multiforme (EM). Coinfection with HIV often makes its manifestations more atypical leading to delays in diagnosis and therapy.

The Efficacy of Moisturisers Containing Ceramide Compared with Other Moisturisers in the Management of Atopic Dermatitis: A Systematic Literature Review and Meta-Analysis.

Atopic dermatitis (AD), also known as atopic eczema, is a chronic inflammatory skin condition that recurs frequently and has diverse clinical features. The main mechanism of AD is the dysfunction of the skin-epidermal barrier. One of the causes of stratum corneum (SC) structural integrity disruption is the decreased production of ceramide, an important lipid component in SC.

Comparison of tea tree oil 5%, tea tree oil 10%, and nystatin inhibition zones against vaginal Candida isolates in pregnancy.

Introduction: Vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC) in pregnancy frequently develops into recurrent infections. Clinical study suggests that conventional topical treatments for VVC are not always enough to eradicate Candida spp. from the vaginal microenvironment.

Determinant factors of recurrence atopic dermatitis symptoms in children: A cross-sectional study.

Background: Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a common health problem found in children. Understanding of the determinants of AD-related factors includes gender, family history, childbirth history, and exclusive breastfeeding.

Objective: Analyzing gender, family history, childbirth history, and exclusive breastfeeding on recurrence of AD symptoms in children.

A 5-year evaluation of chemoprophylactic treatment in elementary school children with subclinical leprosy.

Subclinical leprosy is an infectious disease in which the immune system remains infected with (). The progress of subclinical leprosy to clinical cases within 1 year of infection is 1.5%, with an increase to 6% in the following 4 years.

A comparison study of the 0.1% tretinoin cream versus fractional microneedle radiofrequency combination with fractional CO laser for the treatment of striae alba in Indonesian patients.

Striae distensae (SD) are linear scar tissue in the dermis that arises from stretching the skin. There are two types of SD, striae rubrae and striae albae (SA) which is marked with a line hypopigmentation that cause a psychological problem, especially in the high skin type. The standard therapy is a 0.

An enhanced regimen as post-exposure chemoprophylaxis for leprosy: PEP+.

The ongoing transmission of Mycobacterium (M.) leprae reflected in a very slow decline in leprosy incidence, forces us to be innovative and conduct cutting-edge research. Single dose rifampicin (SDR) as post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) for contacts of leprosy patients, reduces their risk to develop leprosy by 60%.

SP.S-11 PHAGOCYTOTIC ACTIVITY ON IN DIFFERENT NUTRIENT CONDITIONS.

Background: () is a pathogenic bacterium that causes leprosy. The presence of in the environment is supported by microorganisms that act as the new host for . 's potential to be a host of in the environment.

Effectiveness of 32 versus 20 weeks of prednisolone in leprosy patients with recent nerve function impairment: A randomized controlled trial.

Background: While prednisolone is commonly used to treat recent nerve function impairment (NFI) in leprosy patients, the optimal treatment duration has not yet been established. In this "Treatment of Early Neuropathy in Leprosy" (TENLEP) trial, we evaluated whether a 32-week prednisolone course is more effective than a 20-week course in restoring and improving nerve function.

Methods: In this multi-centre, triple-blind, randomized controlled trial, leprosy patients who had recently developed clinical NFI (<6 months) were allocated to a prednisolone treatment regimen of either 20 weeks or 32 weeks.
