ABSTRACT

Summary@#Secondary syphilis is a rare infectious sexually transmitted disease caused by Treponema pallidum in present era. It affects skin as well as other organs of the body. We hereby present a case of an adult male who presented with a one-month history of multiple brownish red maculopapular lesions all over the skin of the body involving the palms, soles, oral cavity and genitalia. His serology was positive for HIV, VDRL and TPHA with a low CD4 count. The patient was treated with three weekly doses of parenteral Benzathine penicillin G, antiretroviral therapy and podophyllin for condyloma acuminata to which he responded well.

ABSTRACT

@#Camphor, a waxy white sublimable chemical, widely used worldwide by various communities for many religious purposes. Here we report a clinical image of self-inflicted injury from burning camphor on the palm resulting in burns. It also highlights the sociocultural pattern of this injury and need of psychopathic and therapeutic help of the patients.

ABSTRACT

@#Maduramycosis1 is chronic infection of cutaneous and subcutaneous tissue caused by bacteria and fungi. It involves skin, subcutaneous tissue and bones.2 Here we report a case series of 14 patients of mycetoma describing their epidemio-clinical features and laboratory investigations. The most common clinical presentation in the patients were infiltrated subcutaneous swelling with multiple discharging sinus tracts (fistulas). Lesions were located on the foot in all the cases.

ABSTRACT

Scrotal dermatitis is a very common condition that has been easily overlooked by most dermatologists and treating physicians. The condition is easily mistaken for the common skin disorders affecting the area, like fungal infections. Scrotal dermatitis is not considered a separate disease entity and is usually considered a condition similar to the contact dermatitis occurring elsewhere. This article attempts to classify the condition as a separate disease entity and explains the various etiological factors and the pathogenesis of the condition. The various stages of the condition are also explained in detail. Newer treatment modalities like the use of narrow band UVB for the management of scrotal dermatitis is also highlighted in this article.

ABSTRACT

Concern about the grim nature of postoperative acid aspiration syndrome grew among the anesthesiologist over the years warranting the need for preemptive intervention. The aim of the study is to compare the effects of preoperative oral ranitidlne versus pantoprazole given in regulating gastric pH in elective surgery. This prospective, parallel group, controlled, randomized, single-blind study was conducted at a tertiary care postgraduate teaching institute at Kolkata, involving 120 participants of either sex, aged 18-60 years of American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status I and II, who were scheduled for elective surgery under general anesthesia lasting for more than 2 h. The participants were divided into three groups. In group A [n = 40] participants received placebo tablet, in group B [n = 40] participants received ranitidine tablet while in group C [n = 40], participants received pantoprazole tablet and their gastric pH estimated serially. The participants in the three groups were comparable in terms of age, sex, body weight, duration of surgery and type of surgery distribution. In regard to changes in gastric pH trends, there was no statistically significant difference between serial pH values in group A [Friedman test; P>0.05] and group C participants. [P>0.05]. However, the mean preoperative gastric pH values [7.140 +/- .7652] were significantly lower than mean pH values [7.253 +/- .7514] after 2 h postoperatively in group B participants [P<0.05]. From the observations and analyses of the present study, it can be inferred that ranitidine is more effective than pantoprazole to raise the gastric pH for prevention of aspiration pneumonitis
