Skin Diseases and Disorders

2.8K
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...

Hypersensitivities01:30

Hypersensitivities

369
Hypersensitivity, also known as a hypersensitivity reaction or allergic reaction, is a condition where the body's immune system reacts abnormally to a foreign substance. Such substances, that cause hypersensitivity are referred to as an allergen, could be something typically harmless to most people, like pollen or certain foods.
Types of Hypersensitivities
Hypersensitivity reactions are categorized into four types: Type 1, Type 2, Type 3, and Type 4. Each type has a distinct mechanism...

Immunodeficiency Diseases01:25

Immunodeficiency Diseases

823
Immunodeficiency disorders are conditions in which the immune system's ability to fight infectious disease and cancer is compromised or entirely absent. The immune system comprises a complex network of cells, tissues, and organs that work together to protect the body from potentially harmful invaders. When this system is deficient or not functioning properly, it leaves the body susceptible to infections, diseases, or other complications.
There are three main causes of immunodeficiency...

Changes in Skin Color: Clinical Perspectives

1.6K
The first thing a clinician sees is the skin, so the examination of the skin should be part of any thorough physical examination. Most skin disorders are relatively benign, but a few, including melanomas, can be fatal if untreated. A couple of the more noticeable disorders, albinism and vitiligo, affect the appearance of the skin and its accessory organs.
Albinism
Albinism is a genetic disorder that affects (completely or partially) the coloring of skin, hair, and eyes. The defect is primarily...

Hand hygiene01:23

Hand hygiene

3.0K
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.

Renewal of Skin Epidermal Stem Cells01:12

Renewal of Skin Epidermal Stem Cells

2.4K
The skin is divided into epidermis, dermis, and hypodermis, the skin's outermost, middle, and inner layers. The human epidermal layer regularly undergoes renewal, where old, dead cells are replaced by new cells. Epidermal stem cells or EpiSCs divide and differentiate to restore the lost cells. For the renewal process, some EpiSCs continuously self-renew. In contrast, few others differentiate into transit-amplifying cells, which later form prickle or spinous cells, followed by granular...

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Dermatology
  • Allergology
  • Environmental Health

Background:

  • Contact dermatitis is a prevalent skin condition in children.
  • Environmental exposures to irritants and allergens are common causes.
  • Differentiating contact dermatitis from endogenous eczemas like atopic dermatitis poses diagnostic challenges.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide a comprehensive overview of contact dermatitis in pediatric populations.
  • To detail diagnostic procedures, including differential diagnoses.
  • To outline effective management strategies for childhood contact dermatitis.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current literature on pediatric contact dermatitis.
  • Analysis of diagnostic workup components: symptoms, dermatitis patterns, exposure history.
  • Emphasis on patch testing as the gold standard for allergic contact dermatitis.

Main Results:

  • Contact dermatitis requires careful evaluation due to overlapping symptoms with other eczemas.
  • Accurate diagnosis relies on a combination of clinical presentation and patient history.
  • Patch testing is crucial for identifying specific allergens and distinguishing irritant from allergic reactions.

Conclusions:

  • Effective management of childhood contact dermatitis necessitates accurate diagnosis.
  • Understanding differential diagnoses, particularly atopic dermatitis, is critical.
  • Patch testing plays a vital role in guiding treatment and prevention strategies for allergic contact dermatitis.
