A woman in her 60s was referred from oncology for the evaluation of a unilateral rash on right chest, which started month ago and associated with burning sensation. She diagnosed invasive carcinoma breast 2 years ago. At time diagnosis, clinical stage
Autoimmune blistering diseases are diverse group of conditions characterized by blisters in the skin with or without mucosal lesions. There may be great degree clinical and histopathological overlap; hence, advanced immunological tests necessary for more precise diagnosis these conditions. Direct immunofluorescence microscopy is gold standard to demonstrate tissue-bound antibodies should done all cases. Magnitude antibody level patient' serum can assessed indirect enzyme linked immunosorbent...
Podcasting has recently emerged as an important information technology tool for health professionals. Podcasts can be viewed online or downloaded to a user computer handheld multimedia device like portable MP3 player, smart phone and tablet device. The principal advantage of the podcast is that presentation need not linked with any particular time location. Since students are familiar newer tools may using it on regular basis, video could serve convenient help remember both conceptual...
Today most education institutions around the world have adopted philosophy of outcome-based education. The emphasis in is achievement outcomes; hence curriculum should be designed a way that it includes components targeted specifically at achieving these outcomes. A discipline-based approach results fragmentation learning and lack clinical applicability. Integrated teaching could solution to achieve required outcomes holistic way. Hence, aim this study was develop, implement, evaluate an...
Tuberculosis (TB) is the leading infectious killer, and India accounts for 2.8 of 10.4 million TB cases that occur each year, making it highest burden country worldwide. Poor quality care a major driver epidemic in India. India's large private, unregulated sector manages over 50% patients, with studies showing suboptimal diagnosis treatment private sector. Better education doctors using mobile applications (apps) possible solution. While has seen an explosion phone services, while use health...
Direct immunofluorescence (DIF) of perilesional skin is the gold standard in diagnosis pemphigus. Since outer root sheath (ORS) anagen hair structurally analogous to epidermal keratinocytes, pemphigus specific pattern may be present ORS.Twenty consecutive patients were enrolled study, irrespective any other inclusion or exclusion criteria. Hairs plucked a similar fashion that trichogram. Approximately 5 hairs selected processed and stained with fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) conjugates....
Cutaneous leishmaniasis is caused by the intracellular protozoan parasite belonging to genus leishmania and characterized a myriad of clinical lesions including papules, nodules, ulcers. Diffuse cutaneous forms are rare. We report rare case from South India diffuse masquerading as lepromatous leprosy in context HIV infection.
<b>Background:</b> Direct immunofluorescence (DIF) is the gold standard in diagnosis of immunobullous diseases. However, it cannot reliably differentiate various subtypes subepidermal immune- bullous diseases (SIBD). Salt split technique (SST) could be used under such circumstances to them. There paucity reports Indian literature regarding SST. <b>Aim:</b> This study was designed evaluate utility direct SST blistering <b>Materials and Methods:</b> Fourteen clinically diagnosed cases were...
Psoriasis vulgaris and bullous pemphigoid (BP) represent two clinically well-characterized, chronic, inflammatory skin conditions. The concomitant occurrence of these entities in a patient is rare. Here we report 57-year-old male suffering from psoriasis for 15 years on irregular medication who noticed eruption blisters all over the body. We believe that this first case coexistent with Indian literature. Please check where you want pemphigoides.
Vesiculobullous disorders in a child can be diagnostic challenge. Common causes of blisters early childhood include genodermatoses like epidermolysis bullosa and infections herpes simplex. Lipoid proteinosis may rarely present with vesiculobullous lesions childhood. We report child, who presented blistering dermatosis. On long term follow-up, typical features lipoid developed. A high index suspicion is required when one deals dermatosis child.
Subepidermal autoimmune bullous diseases are a diverse group of with overlapping clinical and immunopathological features. Indirect immunofluorescence microscopy on artificially split skin helps to classify these conditions into those staining the epidermal side ("roof-binding") dermal ("floor-binding"). Epidermolysis bullosa acquisita is prototype "floor-binding" subepidermal diseases. However, not all floor-binding sera associated epidermolysis acquisita.The aim this study was evaluate...
