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...

Urinary Tract Infection III: Diagnostic Studies and Interprofessional Care

371
A healthcare provider can diagnose a urinary tract infection (UTI) through several methods:Medical History and Symptoms: The provider will take a detailed medical history and ask about symptoms such as frequent urination, burning sensation during urination, and lower abdominal pain.Urinalysis: A clean-catch urine sample is collected in a sterile container and tested for the presence of bacteria, white blood cells (leukocytes), nitrites, blood, and protein. The presence of leukocytes and...

Acute Pyelonephritis II: Diagnostic Studies and Management

539
Introduction:For diagnosing acute pyelonephritis, a comprehensive patient history is collected to identify symptoms such as dysuria, frequent or urgent urination, flank pain, or costovertebral angle (CVA) tenderness that may suggest a kidney infection.Physical ExaminationDuring the physical examination, CVA tenderness is assessed. This involves gentle percussion over the costovertebral angle, where tenderness often indicates a kidney infection.Diagnostic TestsUrinalysis: Used to identify white...

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Travel Medicine

Background:

  • Dermatological conditions are common in tropical regions, with Staphylococcus-related skin infections being most frequent.
  • Post-travel recurrent furunculosis, defined in 2015, is a transient condition with debated clinical validity.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present two case studies of post-travel recurrent furunculosis.
  • To highlight the importance of accurate diagnosis and treatment for this condition.

Main Methods:

  • Case report of two patients (adolescent and young adult) presenting with recurrent furunculosis after travel to Thailand.
  • Treatment involved surgical incision and drainage, alongside systemic and topical antibiotic therapy.

Main Results:

  • Patients experienced recurrent, painful, purulent nodular lesions in axillary and dorsal areas.
  • Symptoms gradually decreased in severity, resolved intermittently, and achieved complete resolution within 3-6 weeks post-treatment.

Conclusions:

  • Accurate knowledge of post-travel recurrent furunculosis is crucial for effective therapy selection.
  • Obtaining a detailed travel history is essential for diagnosis and management.
  • Improved therapeutic adherence is achieved through credible information and successful management of recurrent episodes.
