Genital HPV infections are transmitted primarily through sexual contact. This study determines the clinicoepidemiological profile and sexual behavior patterns in patients with AGW. Materials and Methods: A hospital-based descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted in patients diagnosed with AGW attending the Department of Dermatology and Venereology, Bir Hospital between November 2019 and December 2020. Results: A total of 77 patients including 58 males and 19 females diagnosed with AGW were studied. The warts were recorded more commonly in married individuals (62.3%). The most common sites of warts were penis (84.5% of males) and vulva (57.9% of females) followed by perianal skin, and perineum in both males and females. Of the various morphologies, dome shaped warts were most commonly observed (58.6% in males and 73.7% in females). The individuals with extramarital contacts were at significantly more risk of AGW than those without such contacts (P =0.001). AGW cases were seen more frequent in patients with syphilis and HIV (7.8% and 2.6% respectively) compared to general population. Conclusion: Genital warts were more common in 16 – 25 years of age, mostly married, and polygamous. Like all STD (sexually transmitted diseases), Genital warts (GWs) have important effects on the health of society and quality of life. Hence, awareness of the clinical presentations, sexual aspects, and possible risk factors of GWs leads to the use of effective protection measures.","PeriodicalId":206153,"journal":{"name":"Nepal Journal of Dermatology, Venereology & Leprology","volume":"51 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135895977","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}

There are various pathogens contributing for STDs. There is a rising trend of STDs globally, but actual reported cases are low due to low screening and reporting. Materials and Methods: This study was a prospective hospital-based study. Patients were included in the study according to the inclusion criteria. All data were recorded in a preset proforma. Routine laboratory investigations along with STD workup was done in patients. Results: A total of 62 patients were included in the study according to the inclusion criteria. The age ranged from 17-52years. There were 63% males and 37% females. The majority of patients were employed (60%). Regarding awareness about symptoms of STDs, the patients responded as Infertility in 22%, ulcers in 17%, followed by swelling, genital discharge, dyspareunia, and 24% gave multiple response. Regarding attitude about awareness of prevention of STDs, maximum patients (43%) responded that, through condom use, prevention of the STDs was possible. Out of the total patients 58% Spouse were the commonest partner in 27%. The patients presented with symptoms like urethral discharge in 26%, followed by genital ulcers, genital growth, mixed infections and vaginal discharge. The commonest diagnosis was Syphilis followed by Gonococcal urethritis, non-gonococcal urethritis, warts, Genital herpes, vulvovaginal candidiasis, molluscum contagiosum, and mixed infections. Conclusion: Syphilis is the most prevalent STD, according to the current study. Due to the dearth of knowledge regarding STDs, the STD patients, who visit our facility may only be the tip of the iceberg. It is necessary to spread awareness about STDs among individuals through social media and educational institutions, starting at the local level and moving up to the national level.","PeriodicalId":206153,"journal":{"name":"Nepal Journal of Dermatology, Venereology & Leprology","volume":"76 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135830690","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}

Current modalities for early diagnosis of leprosy include active case detection campaigns, contact tracing, and skin camps. Active case detection is an effective strategy that enables early treatment, prevents impending disability, and potentially stops the spread of leprosy. Objectives: This study was conducted to determine the cost of early diagnosis of leprosy by active case detection method in Lamkichuha Municipality of Kailali district. Materials and Methods: In coordination with the Municipality, Leprosy Control and Disability Management Section of Ministry of Health and Population conducted a survey in July of 2022. Using active case detection method, orientation on leprosy was given to health workers followed by household visit and screening of skin lesions suggestive of leprosy. Suspected cases were confirmed by dermatologists. Data obtained from the campaign was analyzed and results presented as cost per patient. Results: The team screened 4526 families that included 21472 persons in the Lamkichuha Municipality. Among them, 195 were suspected as leprosy by the health workers and referred to referral health facility for diagnosis. Three of them were confirmed as leprosy resulting the prevalence rate of 1.4 per 10,000 populations. The average cost spent per patient was NRS 250000 (2000 USD). Conclusion: The cost of diagnosis of leprosy by active case detection is high. The national programs should prioritize cost-effective modalities including the awareness raising campaigns for early diagnosis.","PeriodicalId":206153,"journal":{"name":"Nepal Journal of Dermatology, Venereology & Leprology","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135895989","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}

Narrowband UVB (NBUVB) appears to be as effective as topical PUVA therapy in the treatment of chronic hand dermatitis. However, the risks of phototoxicity and dyspigmentation associated with local PUVA therapy make NBUVB therapy a preferable initial therapeutic option. Methods and Methodology: A total of 40 patients with chronic hand eczema were randomly divided into two groups: Group A (20) receiving localized NBUVB and Group B (20) receiving localized PUVA therapy. They were administered the designated treatment modality for the period of 8 weeks. They were evaluated every 2 weeks to see for the clinical response and any side effects. Results: In group A, there was around 47% and 85% improvement in Clinical Assessment Score (CAS) at weeks 4 and 8 respectively. Similarly, in group B, there was around 52% and 86% improvement in CAS at weeks 4 and 8 respectively. The improvement in terms of the mean of CAS in cases of group B was more compared to group A. (p=0.636 at week 4 and 0.578 at week 8). Conclusion: Light-based modalities of treatment in the form of localized NBUVB and PUVA can be considered as an alternative treatment of choice in cases of hand eczema as they have been shown effective by the reduction in the clinical assessment score. However, there was no statistically significant difference in the reduction in the mean clinical assessment score among the patients treated with either localized NBUVB or PUVA.","PeriodicalId":206153,"journal":{"name":"Nepal Journal of Dermatology, Venereology & Leprology","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135830939","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}
