Scabies more commonly affects young children, adolescents, and the elderly. Its prevalence is highest in tropical regions, in low-and-middle-income countries, and in times of war. Materials and Methods: The study was conducted among physicians working in primary care health care settings in Ordu, Turkey. We developed a survey of 22 questions. A hard copy of the questionnaire was delivered to the physicians. Results: A total of 133 responses were obtained. 71 (53.4%) of the physicians were general practitioners (56.5%) and 62 (46.6%) of them were family physicians. 92 of them were working in clinics and 41 of them were working in emergency departments. The overall knowledge score was 83.2%. 60.2% of the physicians had a total score below median score and 39.8% were above median score. The lowest level of knowledge was associated with pathogen, transmission, and incubation period, and the highest knowledge was about clinical diagnosis. Besides, 86.5% of responders had a knowledge score of ≥75%. Physicians <30 years old had a better knowledge score. Conclusion: In conclusion, in our study the knowledge about scabies among primary care physicians was adequate, but most of the physicians reported they had difficulty in treating scabies. It is recommended to arrange training programs, including diagnosing and managing dermatological conditions including scabies for the physicians working in the primary health care services.","PeriodicalId":42454,"journal":{"name":"Turk Dermatoloji Dergisi-Turkish Journal of Dermatology","volume":"41 2 1","pages":"57 - 63"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2023-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78205651","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}

Various types of cutaneous warts include verruca vulgaris, genital warts, and palmoplantar warts. Various therapeutic modalities are available for warts with varying response. These include destructive therapies, cytotoxic agents (Bleomycin), and immunotherapy (measles, mumps, and rubella [MMR], candida antigen, etc.). We have analyzed the efficacy of intralesional MMR immunotherapy in patients with different kinds of cutaneous warts. Aim: The purpose of this study was to retrospectively analyze the effectiveness and safety of MMR immunotherapy in the treatment of different kinds of cutaneous warts. Materials and Methods: We included all the patients with cutaneous warts receiving MMR vaccine between March 2014 and March 2022. Demographic data were recorded. MMR vaccine was given for four doses at 3 weeks interval or till there was complete clearance, whichever was earlier. Clearance and reduction of wart sizes and potential side effects were recorded. Results: A total of 184 patients were enrolled, and 45% patients were women. Predominant age group of patients was 21–40 years. Most common types of warts observed was palmoplantar warts. Complete resolution was seen in 66% patients and partial response in 22% patients. Palmo-plantar and warts on extremities responded completely to immunotherapy, whereas 43% of genital warts had no improvement. Pain at injection site was observed in all patients, and 32% patients had flu-like symptoms. Conclusions: Immunotherapy with MMR vaccine shows a promising response in the treatment of palmo-plantar warts and warts on extremities, without any serious adverse effect, whereas the genital warts and verruca plana respond variably to immunotherapy.","PeriodicalId":42454,"journal":{"name":"Turk Dermatoloji Dergisi-Turkish Journal of Dermatology","volume":"28 1","pages":"64 - 68"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2023-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82585384","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}

Mandelic acid (MA) is an upcoming peeling agent for AV due to its anti-inflammatory and antibacterial traits. Hence, it is worthwhile to appraise this newer agent’s effectiveness and safety profile and compare it with a more traditional and established peeling agent, salicylic acid (SA), in the treatment of AV. Aims: The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy of 40% MA with 30% SA peels in south Indian patients suffering from mild-to-moderate facial AV. Materials and Methods: One hundred patients suffering from mild-to-moderate facial AV were distributed randomly into two groups of 50 each, with group A receiving 40% MA peel and group B receiving 30% SA peel at an interval of two weeks for six sessions. The duration of the study was twelve weeks. Clinical pictures and Michaelsson acne scores (MAS) were used to evaluate the effectiveness of treatment objectively. Adverse effects of both the peeling agents were also noted. Statistical Analysis Used: A value of P ≤ 0.05 was considered significant. Results: Overall, there was no significant difference in the efficacy between the two peels. However, adverse effects were slightly higher with SA peel. Conclusions: The 40% MA peel was equally effective as 30% SA peel in mild-to-moderate facial AV. However, safety profile and tolerability were better in the MA peel group than the SA peel group.","PeriodicalId":42454,"journal":{"name":"Turk Dermatoloji Dergisi-Turkish Journal of Dermatology","volume":"14 1","pages":"44 - 51"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2023-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81693991","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}

Objectives: The aim of this study was to reveal the relationship between acne severity (mild, moderate, and severe acne) and Demodex density in patients with acne vulgaris and compare this with the healthy population. Materials and Methods: In total 150 patients with acne vulgaris and 60 healthy individuals were evaluated. Patients diagnosed with acne vulgaris were divided into three groups as mild, moderate, and severe. The gender, body mass index, history of diabetes mellitus, smoking, alcohol use, tea and coffee consumption, usage frequency of moisturizer, facial cleanser and concealer, and skin type (dry/sensitive, mixed, and oily) were recorded. Demodex density was measured by using the standard superficial skin biopsy method. Results: Demodex infestation was observed in 40 (26.6%) of the acne patients and 13 (21.6%) of the healthy control group. The Demodex infestation was observed in 16 (32%) of the mild acne group, 15 (30%) of the moderate acne group, and 9 (18%) of the severe acne group; there was no significant difference between the control group and severity of acne. In patients with acne, being over 25 years of age 2.6-fold, sensitive-dry skin type 7.4-fold, and obesity 4.06-fold increased risk of Demodex infestation. Conclusion: In this study, we did not detect an increased incidence of Demodex, including disease severity, in patients with acne vulgaris. However, we showed that the density of Demodex was increased in those aged 25 years and older, obese patients, and those with sensitive-dry skin in patients with acne.","PeriodicalId":42454,"journal":{"name":"Turk Dermatoloji Dergisi-Turkish Journal of Dermatology","volume":"4034 3 1","pages":"52 - 56"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2023-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86724935","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}

The use of itraconazole in the standard dose and duration is commonly resulting in treatment failure. Aims and Objectives: To compare the efficacy and safety of three different dosage regimens of itraconazole in the treatment of dermatophytosis. Materials and Methods: Patients were enrolled and randomly assigned to three different groups A, B, and C after obtaining the proper consent. For four weeks, patients in Groups A, B, and C received itraconazole 100 mg once daily, 200 mg once daily, and 5 mg/kg or 400 mg daily, whichever was lesser, in two divided doses, respectively. All patients were advised to use topical eberconazole cream twice daily and levocetirizine 5 mg daily. Potassium hydroxide (KOH), culture for fungus, complete blood count (CBC), and liver function test (LFT) were done at the baseline visit and repeated in 4 weeks. A clinical assessment was done at both visits. Result: KOH was negative for fungal elements in 21.4%, 19%, and 17% of patients in groups A, B, and C respectively, after the completion of therapy. The culture was negative for fungal elements in 19%, 17.5%, and 19.5% of patients in groups A, B, and C respectively, post-therapy. At the end of four weeks, there was a statistically significant decrease in lesion count, body surface area involvement, erythema, and itching within all three groups. However, after 4 weeks of therapy, there was no significant difference in clinical outcome or mycological status among the three groups. Conclusion: Our study concludes that the higher dose of itraconazole does not prove to be more efficacious and has no added advantage over the conventional dose in the treatment of dermatophytosis at the end of four weeks. Therefore, we suggest for long-term (more than 4 weeks) itraconazole therapy with the conventional dose to achieve an adequate cure.","PeriodicalId":42454,"journal":{"name":"Turk Dermatoloji Dergisi-Turkish Journal of Dermatology","volume":"23 1","pages":"37 - 43"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2023-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81252566","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}

It is characterized by an eczematous eruption localized to the knee, mostly the anteroinferior aspect, presenting as pruritic, dry, erythematous, scaly, or at times papulovesicular lesions. Having been known over the past decade by various nomenclatures, the basic pathogenesis has now been agreed upon as a locoregional immune dysfunction because of damage to lymphatics occurring postsurgically. We have described three case reports of typical eczematous lesions occurring after total knee replacement surgery and reviewed the literature for similar cases described across the literature. A PubMed and Google Scholar search pertaining to the articles published with the keywords “SKINTED” and “autonomic denervation dermatitis” was conducted. A total of 10 results were obtained after exclusion of duplicated and irrelevant search results. This yielded one review article, one original article, seven case reports, and two correspondence articles. Based on the review, the authors agree with the concept of Rucco’s immunocompromised district, being the most logical explanation for the occurrence of SKINTED. SKINTED should be differentiated from implant eczema occurring because of hypersensitivity to metal implants, which presents as systematized contact dermatitis and has a predefined set of diagnostic criteria.","PeriodicalId":42454,"journal":{"name":"Turk Dermatoloji Dergisi-Turkish Journal of Dermatology","volume":"1 1","pages":"1 - 5"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87794650","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}
