Tinea Versicolor

Pityriasis versicolor is also known as tinea versicolor. It is a common supercial fungal infection of the skin. Clinical features of pityriasis versicolor include either hyperpigmented or hypopigmented ne [1] scaled macules or patches. The most affected sites are the trunk, neck and proximal extremities. It rarely occurs over the groin. It is caused by yeasts of the Malassezia species, commensal of the keratinized layers of the skin which under certain conditions become pathogenic determining the clinical manifestations of the disease. We hereby report a case of Pityriasis versicolor occurring over the groin, a rare presentation.

Abstract: Pityriasis versicolor is a superficial fungal infection of the epidermal layer caused by Malassezia furfur or Pityrosporum orbiculare. This infection is chronic, mild, and usually without inflammation. Pityriasis versicolor infects the face, neck, torso, upper arms, underarms, thighs, andgroin. Skin disorders are very superficial and pityriasis versicolor is most commonly found in the body. The disorder is seen a spatches of colorful irregular shape to a regular, well defined to diffuse. The disorder is usually asymptomatic so that sometimes people do not know they have been infected. This study aims to determine profil of pityriasis versicolor at dermatovenereology clinic of Prof. Dr. R. D. Kandou General Hospital Manado periods January- December 2012. This retrospective descriptivestudy is based on the number of cases, gender, age, occupation, color of lesion, location of lesion, and the type of treatment. The results of this study showed that out of the 50 pityriasis versicolor cases (1.24%), male as the most infected gender (74%), along with the age group 25-44years (28%), the most job is civil servant (24%), and with hypopigmented lesions as the most types found (78%). The most frequent location of lesion is a combination of several places such as the face, body and extremities (60%), and the most used treatment is a combination therapy of oral and topical anti fungal (72%).Keywords: pityriasis versicolorAbstrak: Pitiriasis versikolor adalah infeksi jamur superfisial pada lapisan tanduk kulit yang disebabkan oleh Malassezia furfur atau Pityrosporum orbiculare. Infeksi ini bersifat menahun, ringan, dan biasanya tanpa peradangan. Pitiriasis versikolor mengenai muka, leher, badan, lengan atas, ketiak, paha, dan lipat paha. Kelainan kulit pitiriasis versikolor sangat superfisial dan ditemukan terutama di badan. Kelainan ini terlihat sebagai bercak-bercak berwarna-warni bentuk tidak teratur sampai teratur, batas jelas sampai difus. Kelainan biasanya asimptomatik sehingga adakalanya penderita tidak mengetahui bahwa ia berpenyakit tersebut. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui profil pitiriasis versikolor di Poliklinik Kulit dan Kelamin RSUP Prof. DR. R.D. Kandou Manado periode Januari-Desember 2012. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian deskriptif retrospektif berdasarkan jumlah kasus, jenis kelamin, umur, pekerjaan, warna lesi, lokasi lesi, dan jenis pengobatan. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa dari 50 kasus pitiriasis versikolor ( 1,24% ) terbanyak adalah jenis kelamin laki-laki (74%), kelompok umur 25-44 tahun (28%), pekerjaan yang terbanyak adalah PNS (24%), jenis lesi paling banyak lesi hipopigmentasi (78%), lokasi lesi paling sering yaitu kombinasi yang terdapat dibeberapa tempat seperti wajah, badan dan ekstremitas ( 60%), dan pengobatan yang paling banyak adalah terapi kombinasi antijamur oral dan antijamur topikal (72%).Kata kunci: pitiriasis versikolor

Background and aim: The link between low socioeconomic status (SES) and CHD is well established but whether low SES is also an independent predictor for development of diabetes type 2 is not clear. The aim of this study was to investigate whether SES, measured as occupational class, predicted subsequent development of diabetes type 2 over an extended follow-up. Methods: A total of 6941 men 47-55 years old, without prior diabetes, from a population sample of 9998 men, were investigated during 1970-73. Of the men, 23.7% were unskilled workers, 27.2% were skilled workers, 19.7% occupied either a supervisory manual position or were lower officials, 17.9% were officials at an intermediate position, and 11.6% were professionals, executives or senior officials. Follow-up was achieved through the national Swedish patient registry. Results: A total of 900 men (13%) were registered at any time with a diagnosis of diabetes over a 35-year follow-up. Compared with men in the highest occupational class, men with intermediate non-manual occupations had a multiple-adjusted hazard ratio (HR) of 1.10, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.84-1.44, lower officials and foremen had an HR of 1.37 (1.06-1.78), semiskilled and skilled workers 1.39 (1.08-1.78), and unskilled workers 1.66 (1.30-2.13) after adjustment for smoking at baseline, BMI, blood pressure, serum cholesterol, treatment for hypertension and leisure time physical activity. Conclusions: Low SES is an independent risk factor for long-term risk of diabetes in men, with a 66% independent higher risk in unskilled workers, compared to professionals/senior officials.

Bawang putih selain dikenal sebagai salah satu bumbu dapur dan dipercaya juga sebagai antibiotik dan antifungi. Khasiat ini disebabkan oleh zat allicin yang kandungannya mampu membunuh jamur dan bakteri. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui pengaruh perbedaan konsentrasi ekstrak bawang putih terhadap zona hambat pertumbuhan jamur Malassezia furfur penyebab penyakit panu (Tinea versicolor), dengan menggunakan metode studi literatur. Teknik pengambilan sampel yang digunakan yaitu purposive sampling dan memperoleh 2 sampel yaitu berupa jurnal dan Karya Tulis Ilmiah yang membahas tentang pengaruh bawang putih dalam mengatasi penyakit panu. Senyawa yang ada pada bawang putih adalah allicinn yang didapatkan dari ekstrak bawang putih yang mempunyai aktivitas dan daya hambat terhadap jamur Malassezia furfur penyebab penyakit panu. Dengan hasil yang didapatkan semakin tinggi konsentrasi ekstrak bawang putih maka semakin luas zona hambat pertumbuhan jamur penyebab panu.
