    Juvenile dermatomyositis (1996)

    Notes: Juvenile dermatomyositis (JDMS) is a chronic inflammatory condition characterized by muscle weakness and a distinctive rash caused by underlying vasculopathy. Long-term complications include subcutaneous and muscular calcification, contractures and in some cases the gradual development of a second connective tissue disease. Early aggressive treatment with systemic immunosuppressants and other agents such as intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) reduces mortality and morbidity.

    THE EFFECT OF BACTERIAL COLONIZATION ON VENOUS ULCER HEALING (1992)

    Notes: To determine the effect of bacterial colonization on venous ulcer healing, 82 patients with 100 venous ulcerated limbs were each studied prospectively for six months. Despite bacteriological swab results, topical or systemic antibiotics were not administered unless cellulitis supervened. Initial ulcer size, length of ulcer history and time to complete healing of colonized and uncolonized ulcers were determined and compared.Organisms were cultured from 83 limbs prior to commencement of treatment, the commonest isolates being Staptiytococcus aureaus (48%), mixed coliforms (28%), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (21%) and anaerobes (17%). When compared with ulcers with no bacterial growth, colonized ulcers were of longer duration (P◂0.01), had a larger initial size (p◂0.001) and had significantly longer healing time (p◂0.001). When analysed individually beta-haemolytic streptococci, anaerobes, Staptiylococcus aureus and coliforms were associated with delayed healing. Delayed healing was not found with Pseudomonas aeruginosa, although pseudomonas-colonized ulcers were significantly larger and of longer duration than uncolonized ulcers.Bacterial colonization is associated with delayed venous ulcer healing. To further clarify the pathogenicity of colonizing bacteria, however, the effect of their eradiction on healing of venous ulcers needs to be established.

    Paediatric atopic dermatitis in Perth general practice (2003)
    Oxford, UK : Blackwell Science Pty
    Australasian journal of dermatology 44 (2003), S. 0

    Topics: Medicine
    Notes: Ninety-seven Perth general practitioners completed a self-administered postal questionnaire that aimed to examine their caseload and management practices for childhood atopic dermatitis (AD). General practitioners saw a median of two new cases and three follow-up consultations per month for childhood AD, and referred a median of 10% of cases to a specialist, usually a dermatologist. Most (77%) recommended emollients for all patients, but only 21% specifically reported advising their use immediately after bathing. Sixty-one percent would use topical corticosteroids in all or most patients, but cream preparations were more commonly used (58%) than ointments (40%). Atrophy was rated as a common or very common side-effect of topical corticosteroid therapy by 23% of general practitioners. Twenty-six percent reported using oral corticosteroids in children with AD. Dietary changes would be recommended in at least a few AD patients by 79% of general practitioners, and 31% would recommend a change from cow's milk to soy in the absence of a history of dietary triggers. We conclude that general practitioners appeared generally well informed about AD management. However, dermatologists, through targeted education, may be in a position to help general practitioners further improve outcomes for these patients.

    Anogenital and buttock ulceration in infancy (2002)

    Notes: Rashes in the anogenital and buttock region are some of the commonest dermatological problems occurring in infancy. The most frequent causes seen in clinical practice are ulcerating haemangiomas, bullous impetigo and severe irritant contact dermatitis. Other causes include nutritional deficiencies, bullous diseases, trauma, Langerhans cell histiocytoses and inflammatory disorders such as pyoderma gangrenosum and Crohn’s disease. This review presents a brief overview of these causes and outlines the recommended management strategies.
