Drug Toxicity: Allergic Reactions01:30

Drug Toxicity: Allergic Reactions

64
Drug-related allergies are immune-mediated responses triggered by the administration of pharmacological agents. These hypersensitivity reactions are classified based on the immune mechanisms involved. The four primary types—Type I, II, III, and IV—are mediated by different immunological pathways and exhibit distinct clinical manifestations.Type I Hypersensitivity/ IgE-Mediated Reactions: Immunoglobulin E (IgE) immediately mediates Type I hypersensitivity reactions. Upon initial...

PPE Use in Healthcare Settings II: Doffing

1.7K
The sequence of removing or doffing PPE starts with the gloves, as they are the most contaminated. Next is removal of the face shield or goggles, as they would interfere with removing other PPE. Then remove the gown, followed by the mask or respirator. Perform hand hygiene between steps if hands become contaminated and immediately after removing all PPE. Generally, the outside front and sleeves of the isolation gown, the goggles or the mask, the respirator, and the face shield are contaminated.

Skin Diseases and Disorders

5.9K
Skin is the first line of defense and encounters a variety of microbes. Some pathogenic strains are often the cause of a broad range of infections of the skin and other body systems. These conditions can affect people of all ages and may have different causes, including genetic factors, infections, autoimmune reactions, environmental factors, and lifestyle choices.
Gram-positive Staphylococcus spp. and Streptococcus spp. are responsible for many of the most common skin infections. However, many...

PPE Use in Healthcare Settings I: Donning

1.8K
Donning PPE must be completed before contact with the patient. This process protects from infectious agents. The sequence and action included in each donning are critical, and the steps must be systematic to avoid exposure to pathogens. The institutional policy also needs to be followed while donning PPE. The pre-donning preparations are gathering equipment, inspecting the PPE equipment for tears, holes, or damage, removing jewelry, removing any garments below the elbows, and tying the hair...

Hand hygiene01:23

Hand hygiene

6.3K
Asepsis is the practice of preventing or breaking the chain of infection. The nurse employs aseptic techniques to prevent the spread of microorganisms and reduce the risk of diseases. Hand hygiene is the cornerstone of aseptic techniques and is classified into medical and surgical asepsis. Medical asepsis includes hand hygiene and the use of gloves. Surgical asepsis, or the sterile technique, refers to practices that render and keep objects and areas free of microorganisms.

Handwashing I: Introduction and Types of Equipment

5.1K
Handwashing is hand hygiene with plain or antimicrobial soap and water to physically remove dirt, organic material, and microorganisms. However, it may not kill all microorganisms. The handwashing procedure requires a hand wash basin, liquid soap, paper towels, a domestic waste bin, and disposable nail cleaner as optional equipment.
Hand wash basins in clinical areas should have faucets that can be turned on and off without using the hands; that is, they should be non-touch or lever-operated....

    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    This study reports nine cases of self-inflicted skin lesions, often mistaken for occupational dermatitis. Four patients admitted to fabricating these skin conditions, highlighting the challenges in diagnosing malingering.

    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Psychiatry

    Background:

    • Occupational dermatitis is a common skin condition linked to workplace exposures.
    • Malingering, the intentional simulation of illness for external gain, can present with dermatological symptoms.
    • Differentiating genuine occupational skin disease from self-inflicted lesions is crucial for accurate diagnosis and treatment.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To report on nine cases of suspected disease malingering presenting with skin lesions.
    • To analyze the clinical history and morphology of these lesions.
    • To investigate the diagnostic criteria for occupational dermatitis artefacta.

    Main Methods:

    • Case series reporting.
    • Clinical history review.
    • Morphological examination of skin lesions.
    • Patient interviews and admissions.

    Main Results:

    • Nine cases of skin lesions attributed to occupational factors were identified.
    • The history and morphology of the lesions supported a diagnosis of occupational dermatitis artefacta.
    • Four out of the nine patients confessed to intentionally creating the skin lesions.

    Conclusions:

    • Occupational dermatitis artefacta is a form of malingering that can mimic genuine occupational skin diseases.
    • Careful evaluation of lesion history and morphology is essential for diagnosis.
    • Patient admission, though not always forthcoming, is a key indicator.
