It was reported for the first time by Cibley and Cibley, in 1991. The authors stressed the need to distinguish cytolytic vaginosis from vulvovaginal candidiasis since the symptoms were attributed to hyperacidity created by the overgrowth of resident lactobacilli of the vagina. Patients show lack of response to antifungals and therapy aimed at increasing the vaginal pH offers relief. Since then there were conflicting opinions regarding the existence of the entity “cytolytic vaginosis.” This review aims to give a brief overview of the condition termed “cytolytic vaginosis.”","PeriodicalId":17051,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Skin and Sexually Transmitted Diseases","volume":"16 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91440613","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using a preset proforma, we collected information on patient profile, evolution of dermatosis, and clinical features. The dermatoses observed were classified as transient and non-infective conditions, nevi and other developmental defects, genodermatoses, infections and infestations, inflammatory dermatoses, reactive dermatoses, and other miscellaneous conditions.\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000The study participants included 162 males (60%) and 108 females (40%). Fifty-three infants (53/270, 19.6%) were neonates. The most common dermatoses observed among the study participants were infections and infestations (86, 31.9%) followed by inflammatory dermatoses (83, 30.7%). Among the neonates, the common dermatoses observed were napkin dermatitis (14/53, 26.4%), transient neonatal pustular melanosis (6/53, 11.3%), and congenital melanocytic nevus (6/53, 11.3%). The common dermatoses observed among infants above 28 days were fungal infections (32/217, 14.7%), atopic dermatitis (23/217, 10.6%), miliaria (22/217, 10.1%) and infantile seborrheic dermatitis (21/217, 9.7%).\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000The study carried out in the outpatient clinic of the dermatology department of a tertiary referral center and the cross-sectional design were the major limitations.\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000Fungal infection was the most frequently observed infection.

A detailed dermatological examination was carried out in cases with respect to distribution, number, color, and morphology of acrochordons. Blood pressure (BP), pulse rate, waist circumference, height, weight, and body mass index were recorded in all cases and controls. Fasting lipid profile, fasting blood sugar, liver function test, and renal function test were done in all study participants. A diagnosis of metabolic syndrome was made based on the International Diabetes Federation metabolic syndrome worldwide definition specified for the Asian population. Statistical analysis was done using Pearson’s Chi-square test.\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000There were 52 females and 48 males in each group. About 80% of patients belonged to the age group of 20–50 years. A significantly higher number of cases had metabolic syndrome (P < 0.001). Acrochordons showed a significant association with the components of metabolic syndrome such as high BP (P < 0.001), high fasting plasma glucose levels (P < 0.001), and low levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (P = 0.04). Comparison of cases showed that patients with acrochordons limited to axilla were less likely to have metabolic syndrome in comparison to those who had acrochordons on other body sites with or without involvement of axilla (P = 0.008). Patients who manifested only sessile lesions were less likely to have metabolic syndrome when compared to those who manifested pedunculated/filiform/pedunculated and filiform lesions (P < 0.001).\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000A cross-sectional study design and study carried out in a tertiary referral center were the limitations.\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000A significant association was noted between acrochordons and metabolic syndrome.\u0000","PeriodicalId":17051,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Skin and Sexually Transmitted Diseases","volume":"34 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86647365","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

He was the National President of Indian Association of Dermatologists, Venereologists, and Leprologists and had been the Honorary Secretary and President of Calicut, IMA. Professor T. Gopinathan was one of the main persons who took initiative in implementing the idea of starting an online journal as he felt that there was a need for better “group-specific communication” among the growing number of young practicing dermatologists in India.
