Abstract

Introduction: Less biopsies were expected when large scale social restrictions were enforced during COVID-19 pandemic.

Aim: To compare the skin diseases prompting biopsy before and during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Materials and methods: A retrospective study of skin diseases was performed; the skin problems were then grouped into major histopathological reactions.

Results: A total of 229 biopsies were performed before the COVID-19 outbreak, whereas only 160 biopsies were done during the pandemic. Before versus during the outbreak, the proportion of major reactions were granulomatous 20.52% vs 21.88%, neoplasms 17.47% vs 20%, psoriasiform 14.85% vs 10%, vesiculobullous 9.61% vs 8.75%, others 10.92% vs 7.50%, interface dermatitis 6.99% vs 10%, vasculopathy 6.99% vs 5.63%, spongiotic 6.55% vs 8.13%, panniculitis 3.49% vs 3.75%, and superficial and deep dermal infiltrate 2.62% vs 4.38%.

Conclusion: A decreased total number of patients prompting less biopsies were reported during the COVID-19 outbreak. However, the three largest percentages of major histopathological reactions were still similar, namely granulomatous, neoplasms, and psoriasiform.

在印度尼西亚日惹，在COVID-19大流行之前和期间，促使进行活检的皮肤病模式。

导语:在COVID-19大流行期间实施大规模社会限制时，预计活检会减少。目的:比较2019冠状病毒病大流行前和大流行期间促使皮肤活检的疾病。材料与方法:对皮肤病患者进行回顾性研究;然后将皮肤问题分为主要的组织病理反应。结果:疫情前共进行了229例活检，而大流行期间仅进行了160例活检。爆发前与爆发中主要反应的比例分别为肉芽肿20.52%比21.88%、肿瘤17.47%比20%、银屑病14.85%比10%、囊泡9.61%比8.75%、其他10.92%比7.50%、界面皮炎6.99%比10%、血管病6.99%比5.63%、海绵状病6.55%比8.13%、泛膜炎3.49%比3.75%、皮肤浅层和深层浸润2.62%比4.38%。结论:2019冠状病毒病疫情期间报告的患者总数减少，活检减少。然而，主要组织病理反应的三个最大百分比仍然相似，即肉芽肿，肿瘤和牛皮癣样。

期刊介绍： The Malaysian Journal of Pathology is the official journal of the College of Pathologists, Academy of Medicine Malaysia. The primary purpose of The Journal is to publish the results of study and research in Pathology, especially those that have particular relevance to human disease occurring in Malaysia and other countries in this region. The term PATHOLOGY will be interpreted in its broadest sense to include Chemical Pathology, Cytology, Experimental Pathology, Forensic Pathology, Haematology, Histopathology, Immunology, Medical Microbiology and Parasitology. The Journal aims to bring under one cover publications of regional interest embracing the various sub-specialities of Pathology. It is expected that the articles published would be of value not only to pathologists, but also to medical practitioners in search of a scientific basis for the problems encountered in their practice, and to those with an interest in diseases which occur in the tropics.
