Background Neisseria gonorrhoeae (NG) is a highly transformable strict human pathogen with the potential to evolve into a 'superbug' Resource-limited settings like ours rely on the syndromic diagnostic approach recommended by the WHO and adopted by the National AIDS Control Organisation (NACO) for the management of sexually transmitted infections (STIs). The 'Grey kit" comprising of cefixime 400 mg and azithromycin 1 gm is recommended for genitourinary discharge in India. Aim The objective of...
Infectious diseases can sometimes lead to pandemics, often transmitted through public and social gatherings, including in-person hospital visits. Consequently, there is an urgent need for innovative approaches to prevent their spread. Taking COVID-19 as an example, we have explored a remote, contactless hospital online model that offers the public online medical consultations, professional psychological counseling, and chronic disease management consultations, thereby mitigating the risk of new...
CONCLUSIONS: This novel theory suggests that NETosis and microthrombosis are phenomena inevitably elicited in COVID-19, and in combination they are a system newly termed "NETombosis". Undegraded fibrin clots remaining in the microcirculation may be the cause of the sequelae, because they cause long-lasting circulatory failure in various organs.
CONCLUSION: Given the significant link demonstrated between leptin dysregulation in obesity and mortal severity of COVID-19, addressing obesity should be a priority therapeutic target in terms of future pandemic preparedness. Mechanistic studies are recommended to further elucidate the importance of metabolic vs immune modulation by resistin in COVID-19, to identify future therapeutic targets.
In the spring of 2022, SARS-CoV-2 Omicron BA.2 peaked in Germany. The main burden was staff shortage. To achieve effective identification and management of infected persons as well as early reintegration of recovered persons, an infection-control outpatient clinic was established at the Bundeswehr Central Hospital Koblenz. This article reports a secondary data analysis of 663 people with 1,174 visits to the outpatient clinic. For asymptomatic contacts, no correlation was observed between PCR...
CONCLUSIONS: The COVID-19 pandemic posed significant challenges for BP patients. Our study found that the use of prednisone at a dose >10 mg/day in the last three months was associated with an increased risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection. Vaccination provided protection against SARS-CoV-2 infection and severe COVID-19 in BP patients.
CONCLUSIONS: Recruiting SSc patients for RCTs has been challenging, with generally slow accrual over the past 20 years and no significant improvement over time.

Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) and diabetes interact to influence disease severity, yet their combined immunological characteristics remain unclear. Here, we analyzed Tim-3+ T cells in patients with COVID-19, Type 1 Diabetes (T1D), or both conditions. COVID-19 reduced peripheral T cell subsets but increased Tim-3+ cells, while T1D and COVID-19 with T1D showed the opposite pattern. Patients with Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) exhibited no significant alterations. In human samples and mouse models,...
CONCLUSION: Chilblain-like lesion following coronavirus disease 2019 vaccination is frequently observed in temperate countries, with few reports from tropical areas. The presence of lupus anticoagulant may contribute to the development of chilblains after coronavirus disease 2019 vaccination.
The burden of atopic dermatitis has been increasing in Finland during recent decades and seems to vary seasonally. The aim was to investigate the effect of season and weather factors on patient numbers of primary care. Data bank information of the Finnish Institute for Health and Welfare was analysed for frequency of atopic dermatitis patients in the primary care of Helsinki during 2018-2023. In addition, the seasonal burden was compared with weather data from the Finnish Meteorological...
CONCLUSIONS: This study suggests that the irritative potential of ABVHRs varies, likely due to differences in alcohol type (1-propanol in particular) and concentration. At the tested concentration, PA appears to be well tolerated and may enhance virucidal activity without significantly increasing skin irritation.
Pellagra is a deadly systemic disease caused by niacin deficiency or a disorder of its metabolism. It typically presents as a classic triad of diarrhea, dermatitis, and dementia. It is increasingly seen among high-risk populations such as those with poor socioeconomic status, immunocompromised states, chronic alcoholism, malabsorption disorders, and populations heavily reliant on a corn-based diet. We report a case of a 39-year-old man presenting with watery diarrhea and hyperpigmentation over...
Atopic dermatitis is a chronic inflammatory skin condition with a higher incidence rate among children. In recent years, the role of the gut microbiota in the pathogenesis of atopic dermatitis has garnered increasing attention. This review systematically delineates the research advancements in the structural characteristics of the gut microbiota in children with atopic dermatitis and its influencing factors. Studies have revealed significant differences in the gut microbiota structure between...
Cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) often presents with early-stage clinical features indistinguishable from atopic dermatitis (AD), posing significant diagnostic challenges. Recent studies have highlighted cases where patients initially diagnosed with AD and treated with biologic agents were subsequently reclassified as having CTCL, though the nature of this relationship remains poorly understood. In this report, we present two cases of mycosis fungoides and one case of Sézary syndrome (SS), all...
Sporotrichosis caused by Sporothrix brasiliensis is an emerging zoonotic mycosis of great clinical relevance in South America. This case highlights its severe systemic presentation, reported for the first time in a feline patient from Chile. A 1-year-old neutered male cat presented with severe ulcerative dermatitis, developing a dysoxic phenotype of sepsis. Diagnosis was made by cytology, histopathology, fungal culture, and polymerase chain reaction, confirming S. brasiliensis as the pathogen....
CONCLUSION: Corneal and ocular surface inflammation is a potential multifactorial disease. Bacterial hypersensitivity, atopy and dermatological disorders such as atopic dermatitis and rosacea may play a role in recurrent keratitis, corneal thinning and eventually corneal perforation. Frequent and regular follow-ups are required to detect complications early as well as to discover all possible local and systemic contributing factors of keratoconjunctivitis.
Background Pediatric tele-dermatology (PTD) offers a potential solution for delivering specialised dermatological care to children in remote areas. Objectives To evaluate the scope, utilisation, receptivity, and factors influencing the optimisation of PTD practice within the context of a developing country's demographic. Methods The study analysed 961 PTD consultations over six months, conducted in underserved areas of North India via an assisted telemedicine platform, e-Sanjeevani 2.0. Data...
Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a complex immune-mediated disease characterised by recurrent eczematous lesions and pruritus, which adversely affects the quality of life (QoL). Genetic factors, environmental factors, immune dysregulation, and skin barrier dysfunction contribute to its pathophysiology. Non-pharmacological management strategies aim to preserve the skin barrier, address immune dysregulation, and minimise triggers. In this review, wediscuss various non-pharmacological interventions,...
