LEPROSY “Hansen's Disease”
By: Stephanie Tan
INTRODUCTION
Leprosy is also known as Hansen’s disease (Penyakit Kusta), was named after Gerhard
Armauer Hansen who discovered Mycobacterium leprae in 1873.
• The term ‘Leprosy’ is taken from a Latin word, ‘Lepra’ means scaly.
• Organism: Mycobacterium leprae.
• It is an infectious disease, NOT an inherited one.
• Incubation period: may take up to 2 to 10 years for symptoms to appear .
The disease mainly affects the skin, the peripheral nerves, mucosa of the upper respiratory tract and eyes.
CLASSIFICATION OF LEPROSY
WHO Clinical classification
Purpose of treatment
1. Paucibacillary Leprosy ( PB )
2. Multibacillary Leprosy ( MB )
Based on:
• Number of skin lesions
• Number of nerves involved
J A B A T A N F A R M A S I , H O S P I T A L S U L T A N A H A M I N A H J O H O R B A H R U P A G E 3
WHAT ARE THE TREATMENTS?
World Health Organization (WHO) recommends multi-drug therapy (MDT). Paucibacillary leprosy: Rifampicin + Dapsone. Multibacillary leprosy: Rifampicin + Clofazimine + Dapsone
It may cause abnormal liver tests but the problem clears when the
medication is stopped. It may also cause a harmless orange color in the
urine, sweat or tears.
Dapsone May have a mild anemia.
Clofazimine It has virtually no side effects except some darkening of the skin which
slowly fades when the medication is stopped.

Acne, Atopic Dermatitis and Psoriasis
Skin Diseases
ACNE is a chronic skin disease that involves both non-inflammatory lesions and inflammatory lesions which affect mostly the face but can also happen at the back and chest.
It affects 85% of teenagers and have equal prevalence in both male and female although it tends to be more severe in males.
Risk factors of acne include a positive history of acne in family members. Obesity is also associated with acne in children. It is usually aggravated by smoking, stress and diet with high glycaemic load.
BY KAM WEN HANG
PATHOGENESIS of acne is usually started by follicular blockage due to in-creased sebum secretion and altered follicular keratinisation which subse-quently allows proliferation of P. acnes and follicular inflammation.
CLINICAL PRESENTATION
Open Comedo /Blackhead: Due to the exposure of skin pig-ment: melanin.
Closed Comedo /Whitehead: Due to complete blockage of follicles.
Papule: Solid, palpable elevated Inflammatory lesions with di-ameter less than 1 cm.
Pustule: Inflammatory lesions with pus.
Nodule: Solid, painful palpable elevated Inflammatory lesions with diameter more than 1 cm.

Third Line
ATOPIC DERMATITIS, synonymous with atopic eczema is a chronic, pruritic inflammatory skin disease which is associated with elevated IgE levels. It affects up to 25% of children and 2-3% of adults. In children, its onset can be as early as 3 to 6 months of age. While majority of affected children’s disease will resolve by adult-hood but 10-30% will have symptoms persist in adulthood.
Strong risk factors are family history of atopic march (includes , atopic dermatitis,
Two main theories of PATHOGENESIS in atopic dermatitis have been proposed:
Primary Immunity dysregulation leading to IgE sensitization and secondary epithelial disturbance.
CLINICAL PRESENTATION of atopic der-matitis follows intermittent courses of flares and remission, often aggravated by food, dust mites or other allergy triggers.
Signs and symptoms include:
Pruritus (itch).
Lichenification (thickened skin due to con-tinuous rubbing and scratching).
J A B A T A N F A R M A S I , H O S P I T A L S U L T A N A H A M I N A H J O H O R B A H R U P A G E 5
MANAGEMENT of Atopic Dermatitis
Emollient (Moisturizer) and Good Skin Care Practice
Topical Corticosteroid (TCS)
Short burst of high potency TCS to rapidly control active disease followed by tapering down of TCS or taper up from least potency TCS
Topical Calcineurin Inhibitor
(Tacrolimus & Pimecrolimus)
Recalcitrance to steroids
Sensitive areas: face, anogenital, skin folds
Steroid-induced atrophy
Long-term uninterrupted use of topical corticosteroid
Systemic Immunomodulaters (Systemic Steroid)
ST

UP
Other Therapy
Phototherapy
Systemic Antimicrobial
Antibiotic use with clinical evidence of bacterial infections
Antiviral use in eczema herpeticum
Systemic Antihistamine
Intermittent use of sedating antihistamine in sleep loss sec-ondary to itchiness
Maintenance Therapy
Emollient (moisturizer) alone
Emollient with intermittent use of TCS (1-2 times/week) or TCI (2-3 times/week) at flare up areas
PSORIASIS is a complex, chronic, multifactorial, inflammatory disease that primarily affects skin and joints. It affects 1-3% of worldwide population and presented as plaque psoriasis in 80-90% of patients. Severity of skin disease in psoriatic patient is associated with likelihood of co-morbidities de-velopment such as cardiovascular event.

TOPICAL PREPARATIONS & ITS COUNSELLING
Benzoyl Peroxide 5% Gel
Use it on all of the area where your spots occur and not just to each spot.
Try not to get any of the preparation on your hair or clothing, as it can cause bleaching. Consider wear-ing on old T-shirt to bed if applying to the back or chest overnight.
Can cause photosensitivity. Avoid strong sunlight or use a sun screen with a high sun protection factor.
If the skin become very dry, it may help to use a moisturizing cream. Do not use ointments or oil rich creams, as these could clog pores.
Adapalene 0.1% Gel
Apply in the evening or bedtime.
Can cause photosensitivity. Avoid strong sunlight or use a sun screen with a high sun protection factor.
Not recommended in pregnancy and breastfeeding.
Do not use the gel on any areas of skin which are sun burnt or sore. Avoid using make-up and moist-urizers at the same time.
Sulphur 2% & Salicylic acid 2% Cream
Do not use any topical mercury containing prepara-tion, such as ammoniated mercury ointment, on the affected area.
This is because they may cause a foul odor or irritate the skin or stain the skin black.
Tretinoin (Vitamin A)
Apply at night.
Retinoids is contraindicated in pregnancy– advice on use of effective contraception.
Avoid using in women who want to get pregnant or are pregnant.
Non-pharmacological counseling points for ACNE
• Patient should cleanse their skin twice daily with mild cleanser to remove excess sebum.
• Avoid vigorous washing or use of soaps that contain oil or medications such as benzoyl peroxide.
• Minimize exacerbating factors including cosmetic prod-
STEPS TO APPLY TOPICAL PREPARATIONS FOR ATOPIC DERMATITIS
First Layer— Emollient Apply generous amount of emollient right after bath to lock up the moisture on skin.
Second Layer— Topical Corticosteroid Leave a gap of 5– 10 minutes in between application of moisturizer and topical corticosteroids which is applied spar-ingly to the affected area 2-3 times daily.
Third Layer— Topical Calcineurin Inhibitor After topical corticosteroid, apply topical calcineurin inhibi-tor at sensitive areas like face, genital, and skinfolds. Pro-tect skin from sun.
As a maintenance therapy, emollient will be used alone or with intermittent use of topical corticosteroid or topical calcineurin inhibitor at areas that commonly flare up.
Oral Pharmacotherapy Agents used in Acne
Isotretinoin Can cause teratogenicity. Be-fore therapy begins, the pa-tient must be proved that is not pregnant.
Frequent application of moisturizing agents is neces-sary.
Patients who wear contact lenses has to switch to eye-glasses because of eye dry-ness.
Reddening of the skin and increased photosensitivity may occur.
Can harm a developing fetus. Therefore, it is contraindicat-ed in pregnancy.
It must be taken with a meal to avoid stomach discomfort or diarrhea.
Wear sunscreen every day to protect from photosensitivity.
It may cause tooth discoloration in children younger than 13 years old.
Erythromycin Azithromycin Co-trimoxazole
It should be taken with a meal to avoid stomach discomforts.
Non-pharmacological counseling points for DERMA-TITTIS
Bathing in warm water should last no more than 5-10 minutes by using use mild cleanser.
Wet compress such as Aluminum Acetate solution may be applied to the affected area for 20 minutes 4-6 times daily.
Avoid foods that trigger the condition.

Emollient Apply generous amount of emollient after bath. It will help to lock the moisture well. Leave a gap about 5-10 mins before 2nd layer application.
Coal tar First line topical therapy for mild psoriasis. It may stain cloths and bedding and have strong odour. Coal tar can be applied at night and should be allowed to dry on the skin for 10-15 minutes before getting into bed and showered off in the morning. It is not recommended in pregnancy. If allergy is suspected, patient should undergo patch testing to distinguish between an allergic and an irritant response.
Salicylic acid Patient should soak the affected area in warm water for 10 to 20 minutes before application. In addition, patients should use a non-medicated, non-residue shampoo. Stronger concentration of salicylic acid can be applied for about 2 weeks to remove the thick scale.
Corticosteroids Most widely used treatment for psoriasis due to their anti-inflammatory . Drawback: tachyphylaxis occurs. It can be minimized by switching patients to less potent corticosteroids. To minimize systemic absorption, a patient should not be use more than 40-50g per week. Direction : Use 5 minutes after emollient. Apply it sparingly on the affected area 2-3 times. Important: 1 FTU = 0.5g = treats 2% BSA
Vitamin D Analogs (Calcipotriene) Fixed dose combination of Vitamin D and corticosteroid may be used for short-term treatment of psoriasis. Total amount if vitamin D should not exceed 100g /week to avo id hypercalcemia. Contraindicated in pregnancy. Topical Retinoids (Vitamin A) Increased sensitivity to sunlight. So while using the medication apply sun-screen before going outdoors. Unlike Calcipotriene, Retinoids can be used to treat psoriasis of the face. It is teratogenic, women of child bear-ing age should be warned of the po-tential fetal risk. Therapy can start during a normal menstrual period.
Precaution Continuous use of super potent corticosteroids should not exceed two weeks whereas for potent corticosteroids use should not exceed four weeks. Prolonged use of corticosteroids is associated with serious side effects such as scabies, hypertrichosis, hypopigmentation, hyperpigmentation and contact dermatitis.
Anthralin It can stain hair, skin, nails, clothing and bedding a brownish to purplish color. To minimize staining, patients should be advised to apply the medication wearing plastic gloves and to use old sheets and nightclothes. Anthralin can irritate normal skin and must be applied only to the affected skin.

Treatment and Prevention of Diphtheria
By Sindhu Panirselvam
What is DIPHTHERIA?
Serious bacterial infection that affects the mucous membranes of the throat, nose and sometimes the skin. Caused by the bacterium Corynebacterium diphtheria by penetration of the bacteria through mucous of upper respiratory tract or conjunctivas or skin.
Period of Communicability •Once infected, untreated persons can shed bacteria from the respiratory tract or from skin lesions for 2–6 weeks. •Once treatment with an effective antibiotic has been initiated, affected persons are communicable for up to 4 days. •Isolation should be maintained until two cultures have shown an absence of the or-ganism.
Incubation Period •2 – 5 days (Range 1 -10 days)
Reservoir •Infected Humans
a. Travel to areas where the disease is endemic. b. Compromised immune system. c. Live in overcrowded or unsanitary living conditions d. People who are not vaccinated.
Risk Factors
How does it spread? Direct physical contact with:
Droplets breathed out into the air.
Secretions (mucus or saliva) from the nose and throat.
Infected skin lesions.
Objects such as bedding or clothes of an infected person.
Types of Diphtheria
Anterior Nasal Diphtheria Signs and symptoms is almost similar to common cold but is distinguishable by a mucopurulent nasal discharge. A white membrane usually forms on the nasal septum. This type is mild because of apparent poor systemic absorption of toxin in this location and it can be terminated rapidly by treatment.
Pharyngeal and Tonsillar Diphtheria Most common sites of diphtheria and they are associated with substantial sys-temic absorption of toxin.
Early symptoms include malaise, sore throat, anorexia, and low-grade fever (<38°C). A bluish-white membrane forms and extends that covers a small patch on the tonsils to most of the soft palate. Firmly adherent to the tissue, and forcible remove it can cause bleeding This type is more severe as extensive pseudomembrane formation can lead to respiratory obstruction.
Cutaneous (skin) Diphtheria Symptoms include scaling rash or by shallow skin ulcers with clearly demarcated edges and membrane. Other possible sites of infection include the conjunctiva, vulvovagi-nal area and external auditory canal. Any chronic skin lesion may also harbour C. diphtheriae along with other organisms such as Staphylo-coccus aureus and Streptococcus pyogenes which may lead to delayed diagnosis of diphtheria. It is also more common in environments with poverty, poor hygiene and overcrowding

TREATMENT OF DIPHTHERIA
1. ANTITOXIN Diphtheria antitoxin (DAT) is made from blood plasma of horses that have been immunized against diphtheria toxin. It neutralises the circulating toxin prior to its entry into the cells. Route of Administration Severe cases : Intravenous (IV) is preferred. The antitoxin dose should be mixed in 250 –500 mL of normal saline and administered owly over 2 – 4 hours, closely monitoring for anaphylaxis. Mild or Moderate cases : Intramuscular (IM). 2. ANTIBIOTICS Start prompt antibiotics coverage with macrolides (e.g: Erythromycin) as first line agents for patients older than 6
months of age. Patients < 6 months of age OR intolerant to erythromycin course , intramuscular penicillin is recommended.
IV Erythromycin 500mg followed by PO Erythromycin 800mg BD for a total of 14 days OR
IV Benzylpenicillin 50,000 units/kg to a maximum of 1.2 MU BD followed by PO Phenoxymethylpenicillin 250mg QID for a total of 14 days.
PREVENTION OF DIPHTHERIA
1. VACCINATION Vaccines are available for diphtheria: 1)DTaP :Paediatric diphtheria, tetanus, and acellular pertussis (whooping cough) vaccine
2)DT: Paediatric diphtheria and tetanus vaccine
3)Td : Older children & adults tetanus and diphtheria vaccine
4)Tdap: Older children and adults tetanus, diphtheria, and acellular pertussis (whooping cough) vaccine
DTaP / DT -For infants and children: Children should get (DTaP) vaccine, one dose at the fol-lowing ages: 2nd, 3rd and 5th month AND one more at 18th months old. -DT does not contain pertussis and is used as a substitute for DTaP for children who cannot tolerate pertussis vaccine.
Td / Tdap -For Adolescents and Adults: as a booster shot every 10 years or after an exposure to tetanus. Tdap should be given as a one-time booster in place of Td. Tdap is especially important for those in; • Close contact with infants. • Adolescents more than 11 years old. • Pregnant women should receive a
dose of Tdap during each pregnancy. • New mothers who have never gotten
Tdap should get a dose as soon as possible after delivery.
