BACKGROUND-The study was conducted to describe systematic clinical manifestations among HIV in PLHA at tertiary care centre. METHODOLOGY- This study was designed as cross sectional study at Department of Medicine, tertiary care centre. A total of 100 HIV infected patients were included detailed enquiry about presence of skin lesions along with CD4 cell count was obtained and entered in pretested questionnaire RESULTS-The mean age of patients with HIV was 43.9±10.2 years and Slight female preponderance was observed with male: 3 female ratio of 0.89:1. Mean CD4 count was 243.2±103.2 cells/mm . Majority of patients had CD4 count in the range of less than 3 200 cells/mm (64%) Staphylococcal skin infections were the most common skin lesions observed in 34% patients. All the patients with cutaneous manifestations presented in present study had low CD4 cell count. However, no statistically signicant association between CD4 count and cutaneous manifestations could be documented (p>0.05). CONCLUSION-Cutaneous manifestations are more prevalent in patients with lower CD4 counts and can also be observed with normal CD4 count levels amongst patients with HIV. Occurrence of cutaneous manifestations was higher in patients with lower CD4 count but the observed difference was not statistically signicant.

The Impact

Background - The cutaneous manifestations of the novel coronavirus have been well documented. However, there are few studies that relate to the clinical prole of regular dermatology outpatients seeking treatment during the lockdown relaxation period braving the pandemic. With the Aim - view to determine the changes seen in dermatology outpatient practice, this study analysed the clinical prole of new patients attending the Dermatology Outpatient Department (OPD) during the COVID-19 lockdown relaxation period in a tertiary care centre in a metropolitan suburb in South India. New dermatology outpatients during the months of May, June, July and August Method - 2020 were included in the study. Outpatient data for this period was analysed and compared with corresponding data for the same period in the previous two years. There was a Result – decrease in the OP census, number of patients in the extremes of life as well as those with asymptomatic dermatoses. There was an increase in the number of patients with infections, particularly dermatophytosis. There was also a noteworthy absence of dermatological emergencies. Conclusion - In essence, our study shows the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on the routine dermatology outpatient services with signicant changes in the clinical prole of outpatient practice following lockdown relaxation.

<p class="abstract"><strong>Background:</strong> Alcoholism is a chronic fatal disease of worldwide concern. Alcohol abuse can present in a variety of ways, and dermatological disease is emerging as an important marker of alcohol misuse. The aim is to find out the various skin manifestations associated in chronic alcoholics, to find out the most common skin manifestations among chronic alcoholics and to identify the early skin changes in chronic alcoholics.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Methods:</strong> A cross sectional study conducted in patients attending medicine, psychiatry and dermatology clinics at a tertiary care centre, Puducherry. Inclusion criteria were patients with history of chronic alcoholism, aged above 18 years. After obtaining history, cutaneous examination was done including skin, mucosa, hairs, and nails. Alcohol dependency pattern was calculated using short alcohol dependency score (SADD).<strong></strong></p><p class="abstract"><strong>Results:</strong> A total of 130 patients were included. All were male and 59.2% of them belonged to high dependency pattern. About 128 of them had dermatological manifestations pityriasis versicolor was the most common dermatoses followed by psoriasis. Alcohol specific dermatoses were not seen in our study.</p><p><strong>Conclusions:</strong> In our study, 98.4% of alcoholics had skin manifestations, of which cutaneous infections were the most common. </p>

Background: Mucocutaneous lesions are one of the first clinical presentations of immunosuppression in Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) seropositive patients that manifest at different stages of the infection that requires early diagnosis along with prompt treatment(1). Objectives: (1) To study the prevalence of mucocutaneous manifestations in HIV‑seropositive patients attending the ART center of our hospital in Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh. (2) To correlate mucocutaneous manifestations with CD4 cell counts. Materials and methods: 150 HIV positive patients above 18 year old with definite cutaneous manifestations attending ART center and OPD in the Department of Dermatology and venereology in a tertiary care centre Visakhapatnam (Andhra Pradesh, India) were studied from May 2020 to May 2021. Results: Out of 150 HIV patients, who aged 20 -80 years with a mean age of 25, (23.8%) were 60 (40%) female and 90 (60%) were males, majority of the patients were labourers 50 (33.3%) by occupation , 41 (27.3%) had CD4 counts < 200, 73 (48.6%) had CD4 counts of 200–500, and 54 (36%) had CD4 counts > 500. The most common dermatological presentation was pruritic papular eruptions 24 (16.%) followed by cutaneous drug reaction 19(12.67%) and scabies 12 (8%). Conclusion: At the end of study we concluded that cutaneous manifestations can be considered as good clinical indicators for the progression of disease and underlying immune status in resource poor settings

<p class="abstract"><strong>Background:</strong> Among the other systemic manifestations of COVID-19, cutaneous manifestations are also seen increasingly, but literature about those are significantly less. The skin manifestations in COVID are polymorphic according to studies. The aim of the study was to determine the cutaneous manifestations in COVID-19 positive patients at a tertiary care centre in Kanchipuram.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Methods:</strong> The ethics committee approved this study in our institution. The study period was 6 months (May 2020-October 2020) and those found to be SARS‐CoV‐2 positive after testing with RT‐PCR test were enrolled.<strong></strong></p><p class="abstract"><strong>Results:</strong> In 200 patients, 20 (10%) patients had dermatological manifestations, of which urticaria was present in 7 patients (35%), pruritus was present in 4 patients (20%), 2 (10%) had urticarial vasculitis, 3 (15%) had miliaria rubra, 2 (10%) had mask induced acne and 2 (10%) had maculopapular rash. The presence of dermatological manifestations did not show any significant association between asymptomatic and symptomatic cases.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Conclusions:</strong> COVID-19 positive patients asymptomatic or symptomatic with mild to moderate symptoms can have less dermatological manifestations.</p>
