As per the occupation majority were housewives followed by students. In the present study diabetes mellitus was the most common medical history reported.

BACKGROUND “Skin is a mirror of internal diseases”. Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a metabolic disorder that needs considerations of many different specialities but the importance of dermatologist’s knowledge has not drawn much attention. As a result, we intend to study various cutaneous manifestation of diabetes mellitus. Prior to diagnosis of diabetes mellitus, patient may present with cutaneous manifestation. Thus, it can help in early diagnosis, management and prevention of complication and help in improvement of quality of life. METHODS This is a descriptive cross-sectional study. A total of 500 diabetic patients with cutaneous manifestations, who attended skin outpatient department (OPD) at Kempegowda Institute of Medical Sciences Hospital and Research Centre, Bengaluru, Karnataka, India, were evaluated. Detailed history was taken along with physical and mucocutaneous examination. Cutaneous manifestations, general description of diabetes mellitus like duration, type, and drug history as well as the demographic data were collected and analysed using descriptive statistics. RESULTS Among a total of 500 diabetes mellitus subjects, the most common cutaneous manifestations were infections (35 %) followed by pruritus (11 %). Among infections, tinea infections (48.29 %) were the most common followed by intertrigo (21 %). CONCLUSIONS The ignorance of skin manifestations in diabetes or improper treatment may worsen the condition. Early detection and treatment of common skin manifestations in diabetes will prevent further complications especially in cases of extensive tinea corporis, pruritus, psoriasis, lichen planus, macro and micro angiopathies, trophic ulcers etc. KEYWORDS Cutaneous manifestations, Diabetes mellitus

Abstract Background Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an inflammatory demyelinating disease of the central nervous system with varied clinical features. Disease-modifying drugs (DMDs) of MS associated with different types of thyroiditis. In this cross-sectional study, we aimed to assess the prevalence of thyroid dysfunction in MS and to investigate the association between DMDs and the risk of thyroiditis in MS. A cross-sectional study included 100 patients with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS) in relapse, and the diagnosed was according to revised McDonald’s criteria 2010. Results Our results revealed that the prevalence of thyroiditis was 40%; autoimmune (34%) and infective (6%) among patients with RRMS in relapse and cerebellar symptoms were significantly higher in patients with thyroiditis compared to patients without thyroiditis. Regarding the association between DMDs and thyroiditis, the prevalence of patients treated with interferon-beta-1b was higher in MS patients with thyroiditis compared to MS patients without thyroiditis. However, the prevalence of patients treated with interferon-beta-1a was lower in MS patients with thyroiditis compared to MS patients without thyroiditis. In addition, we found CMV infection was more common in patients treated by interferon beta-1b and candida infection was common in patients treated by fingolimod. Conclusions Thyroiditis is commonly observed in patients with RRMS in relapse and higher prevalence of patients treated with interferon-beta-1b which is commonly associated with thyroiditis and CMV infection; however, candida thyroid infection was common in MS patients treated by fingolimod.
