September 2022
Objective: Lipoid proteinosis is a rare autosomal recessive genetic dermatological disease that occurs due to the accumulation of hyaline material in the skin and mucous membranes. This study aimed to investigate whether dynamic thiol-disulfide homeostasis is a new marker of oxidative stress in patients suffering from lipoid proteinosis.
Methods: The study group involved 17 patients with lipoid proteinosis and 17 healthy controls with same gender and age.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigated the rise of cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) among Syrian refugees in Sanliurfa, Turkey, where over 477,000 refugees reside, aiming to identify the Leishmania species causing CL.
- A total of 154 patients (60 Syrian and 94 Turkish) diagnosed with CL were analyzed, revealing that Leishmania tropica was the most common species, affecting 90.9% of patients, with some infections of L. major and L. infantum also observed.
- The findings indicated a significant association between the species of Leishmania and the nationality of the patients, emphasizing the need for accurate species identification for effective diagnosis and treatment in regions heavily affected by CL.
Background: Cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) is a vector-born parasitic disease characterized by various skin lesions that cause disfiguration if healed spontaneously. Although CL has been endemic for many years in the southern regions of Turkey, an increasing incidence in nonendemic regions is being observed due to returning travelers and, more recently, due to Syrian refugees. Thus far, a limited number of national guidelines have been proposed, but no common Turkish consensus has emerged.

- A study in Sanliurfa, Turkey, aimed to assess the prevalence of cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) in children aged 7-15 by actively screening over 163,000 students in primary schools from 2010 to 2012.* -
- Out of the screened children, 455 were diagnosed with CL, indicating a low incidence rate (0.3%), with a higher occurrence in females (54.9%) and children aged 7-11 (64.2%).* -
- Clinical evaluations showed that lesions mostly appeared on the face, particularly the cheeks, with an average lesion duration of about 13 months and sizes averaging around 10.32 mm.*
