Fito-fotodermatitis: Una dificultad diagnóstica subestimada en quemaduras químicas
Resumen
La fito-fotodermatitis, una reacción cutánea por compuestos vegetales y luz UV, imita quemaduras. El diagnóstico rápido a través de la historia clínica y el tratamiento sintomático con corticosteroides conducen a una curación rápida, aunque la hiperpigmentación puede persistir.
Área de la Ciencia:
- Dermatología; Toxicología; Ciencias de las Plantas
Sus antecedentes:
- La fito-fotodermatitis es una rara imitación de quemadura química causada por fotosensibilizadores de plantas y exposición a rayos UV.; La presentación clínica se asemeja a quemaduras de segundo grado, lo que complica el diagnóstico.; El diagnóstico se basa en la identificación de la secuencia de contacto con plantas fototóxicas seguida de radiación UV.
Objetivo del estudio:
- Informar sobre cinco casos de fito-fotodermatitis.; Proporcionar una visión general del diagnóstico y manejo de la fito-fotodermatitis.
Principales métodos:
- Serie de casos retrospectiva de cinco pacientes atendidos en Cirugía Plástica.; La recopilación de datos incluyó datos demográficos, tiempo de diagnóstico, etiología, duración del tratamiento y complicaciones.
Principales resultados:
- Familias de plantas implicadas: Apiaceae, Moraceae, Rutaceae.; Inicio medio de los síntomas a las 28,8 horas; las presentaciones incluyeron eritema, vesículas y ampollas.; Todos los pacientes tratados con irrigación de agua y corticosteroides tópicos; ninguno requirió cirugía. Un caso tuvo hiperpigmentación postinflamatoria.
Conclusiones:
- La historia clínica exhaustiva del paciente es crucial para el diagnóstico y tratamiento tempranos.; El manejo implica analgésicos y corticosteroides tópicos, lo que generalmente resulta en una curación rápida.; La secuela potencial a largo plazo incluye hiperpigmentación cutánea persistente.

Burn Injuries
4.8K
Burn injuries occur when the skin and underlying tissues are damaged due to exposure to heat, electricity, chemicals, radiation, or friction. They can vary in severity, from minor superficial burns to severe deep burns that can be life-threatening.
The damage results in the death of skin cells, which can lead to a massive loss of fluid. Dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, and renal and circulatory failure follow, which can be fatal. Burn patients are treated with intravenous fluids to offset...

Drug Toxicity: Allergic Reactions
36
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...

Flame Photometry: Overview
1.6K
Flame photometry, also known as flame emission spectrometry, is a technique used for the qualitative and quantitative analysis of elements present in a sample using a flame as the source of excitation energy. The concept of flame photometry was realized in the early 1860s by Kirchhoff and Bunsen, who discovered that specific elements emit characteristic radiation when excited in flames. The first instrument developed for this purpose was used to measure sodium (Na) in plant ash using a Bunsen...

Flame Photometry: Lab
1.0K
In a flame photometer, when a solution like potassium chloride is aspirated into the flame, the solvent evaporates, leaving behind dehydrated salt. This salt dissociates into free gaseous atoms in their ground state. Some of these atoms absorb energy from the flame, leading to their excitation. The excited atoms return to the ground state, emitting photons at characteristic wavelengths. Because only electronic transitions are involved, the resulting emission lines are very narrow. The intensity...

Toxic Reactions: Overview
2.6K
When toxic substances penetrate the human body, they disseminate to various tissues, undergoing metabolic changes. This process yields reactive metabolites that may covalently bind with specific target molecules, resulting in toxicity.
Toxicity falls into two primary categories: local and systemic.
Local toxicity appears at the exposure site, such as protein denaturation caused by caustic substances.
In contrast, systemic toxicity requires the toxic agent's absorption and distribution,...

Skin Diseases and Disorders
5.8K
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...
