Assessment of the Rectum and Anus01:25

Assessment of the Rectum and Anus

2.1K
Evaluating the rectum and anus plays a crucial role in conducting a thorough physical examination of the gastrointestinal system. Although it may be uncomfortable and often embarrassing for the patient, it holds immense diagnostic value, particularly in detecting gastrointestinal diseases and abnormalities. This guide will explain how to perform this assessment using inspection and palpation methods.
Rectal Inspection
Begin by inspecting the perianal and anal areas for color, texture, rashes,...

Assessing Body Temperature - Rectal

16.5K
Rectal temperature measurement is considered the most precise method for assessing core body temperature and typically registers higher than oral temperature. For adults, the rectal thermometer should be inserted 1 to 1.5 inches into the rectum to obtain the most accurate reading.
Follow these steps for rectal temperature assessment:
Step 1: Perform hand hygiene and don clean gloves to prevent cross-infection.
Step 2: Position the patient in a side-lying position to better visualize the rectal...

Summary

Methylchloroisothiazolinone/methylisothiazolinone is the primary allergen causing perianal eczema, often linked to wet wipe use. Patch testing for this condition should include standard series and patient-specific products.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Allergology

Background:

  • Anogenital dermatitis affects a significant percentage of patients with positive patch test results.
  • Patch testing is crucial for diagnosing eczema in the anogenital region.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Identify common allergens in perianal eczema.
  • Determine the most effective allergen series for patch testing in these patients.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of patch test results.
  • Study conducted on patients with perianal eczema between 2001 and 2012.

Main Results:

  • 16 out of 37 patients with perianal eczema showed positive reactions.
  • Methylchloroisothiazolinone/methylisothiazolinone was the most frequent allergen.
  • Positive reactions were primarily to the Spanish Contact Dermatitis and Skin Allergy Research Group (GEIDAC) standard series or patient-used products.

Conclusions:

  • Methylchloroisothiazolinone/methylisothiazolinone is the leading allergen in perianal eczema, frequently associated with wet wipe usage.
  • Patch testing protocols for perianal eczema should incorporate the GEIDAC standard series and individual patient products.
