Un brote de dermatitis pustular inducida por la lucha de barro en estudiantes universitarios. Dermatitis palaestrae
JAMA
|January 27, 1993
Resumen
Se investigaron brotes de lucha en el barro de la foliculitis gram-negativa. El trauma cutáneo durante la lucha de barro aumentó significativamente el riesgo de desarrollar esta dermatitis folicular pustular.
Área de la Ciencia:
- Dermatología Dermatología dermatología.
- Enfermedades infecciosas Enfermedades infecciosas.
- Epidemiología La epidemiología.
Sus antecedentes:
- Los brotes de foliculitis gramnegativa pueden ocurrir en entornos específicos.
- La identificación de exposiciones comunes es crucial para comprender la transmisión de enfermedades.
Objetivo del estudio:
- Para investigar un brote de foliculitis gram-negativa relacionado con la lucha de barro.
- Para identificar los factores de riesgo de dermatitis en las personas que participan en la lucha de barro.
Principales métodos:
- Se empleó un diseño de estudio de casos y controles.
- Se compararon dos grupos de estudiantes de residencia de la universidad.
- Se tomaron cultivos de los estudiantes afectados y muestras de lodo.
Principales resultados:
- Se identificaron Enterobacteriaceae en los estudiantes afectados y en el lodo.
- La lucha de barro mostró una alta proporción de probabilidades (79,5) de infección.
- El aumento del tiempo de lucha y el trauma cutáneo aumentaron el riesgo de infección (OR, 23.1).
Conclusiones:
- La lucha de barro se identifica como una de las causas de la dermatitis folicular pustular.
- El trauma cutáneo parece ser un cofactor necesario para el desarrollo de la infección.

01:23Skin Diseases and Disorders
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...

01:17Other Pulmonary Disorders
Respiratory disorders encompass a range of conditions with varying levels of severity. Asthma, marked by chronic airway inflammation and hypersensitivity, is one such condition. It can lead to airway obstruction due to factors like bronchial spasms, mucosal edema, increased mucus secretion, or epithelial damage. Asthma triggers are diverse, ranging from allergens to emotional upset, and treatment focuses on both immediate relief through bronchodilators and long-term inflammation suppression.
01:29Staphylococcal Skin Infections
Staphylococcus aureus is a Gram-positive coccus that resides harmlessly on the skin and mucous membranes of healthy individuals. When the skin barrier is breached, it can shift from a commensal to an opportunistic pathogen. This transition is facilitated by surface adhesins, such as clumping factor B and S. aureus surface protein G (SasG), which bind to structural proteins, including loricrin and cytokeratin, in the damaged epidermis. Protein A, another key factor, binds the Fc region of...
01:26Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever
Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever (RMSF) is a severe tick-borne illness caused by Rickettsia rickettsii, a Gram-negative, coccobacillary bacterium. This pathogen is an obligate intracellular parasite, requiring a host cell for replication. Transmission occurs through the bite of an infected tick. In the United States, the most important vectors are Dermacentor variabilis (American dog tick) and Dermacentor andersoni (Rocky Mountain wood tick), though other tick species may also serve as vectors.
01:14Atypical Pneumonia
Atypical pneumonia, often caused by Mycoplasma pneumoniae, is a form of pulmonary infection that differs from the classical presentation of bacterial pneumonia in both its cause and clinical symptoms. Mycoplasma pneumoniae is a pleomorphic bacterium notable for its lack of a rigid cell wall. This structural characteristic imparts resistance to beta-lactam antibiotics and significantly influences the bacterium’s behavior within the human host.Other pathogens responsible for the disease include...
01:30Leishmaniasis
Leishmaniasis is a protozoal disease caused by species of the genus Leishmania and transmitted through the bite of infected female sandflies. The parasite exists in two principal morphological forms during its life cycle. A sandfly acquires intracellular amastigotes from an infected reservoir host, such as a dog. Within the sandfly, these forms differentiate into motile, flagellated promastigotes. During a subsequent blood meal, promastigotes are injected into the human host, where they...
