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.

Abstract: Pityriasis versicolor is a chronic superficial fungal disease caused by Malasezzia furfur. Pityriasis versicolor can infect the face, neck, trunk, upper arms, underarms, and groin. Pityriasis versicolor is characterized by scaly patches of fine white or dark, irregular to regular shapes, and clear to diffuse limits. However, pityriasis versicolor is generally asymptomatic, therefore, commonly people do not realize that they are infected by that fungi. This study aimed to determine the profile of pityriasis versicolor at Dermatovenereology clinic of Prof. Dr. R. D. Kandou Hospital from January to December 2013. This was a retrospective descriptive study based on the number of cases, sex, age, occupation, color of lesion, location of lesion, and type of treatment. The results showed that there were 36 cases of pityriasis versicolor, mostly were males (58.3%), age groups 15-24 years and 25-44 years (30.6%), and private workers (27.8 %). Most lesions were hypopigmentation (80.6%), located on the body area and the combination of the face, trunk, and extremities (38.9%). The most commonly prescribed treatment was topical antifungal therapy (77.8%).

ABSTRACT Background: Pityriasis versicolor or Tinea versicolor is a skin disease caused by the Malassezia furfur which is often found in Indonesia. People can use anti-fungal drugs to treat this disease. However, long-term use of anti-fungal drugs is relatively more expensive and can have side effects for its users. Cocoa bean husk contains flavonoids, saponins, and alkaloids which have anti-fungal effects. This study aimed to determine the antifungal effectiveness of the cocoa bean husk extract on the growth of M. furfur. Subjects and Methods: This was an experimental study using cocoa bean husk extract with a concentration variance of 25%, 50%, 75%, 100%, with a positive control for ketoconazole 2% and a negative control using distilled water. The test was carried out by the well diffusion method using Sabouraud Dextrose Agar media. The inhibition of fungal growth was calculated by looking at the clear zone formed after 48 hours. Data were analyzed using Kruskal-Wallis and Post hoc Mann Whitney statistical tests. Results: The mean diameter of the inhibition zone at a concentration of 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% was 3.42 mm, 4.07 mm, 4.9 mm, and 7.3 mm, respectively, and it was statistically significant (p = 0.001). Conclusion: Cocoa bean husk extract has weak anti-fungal effectiveness at concentrations of 25%, 50%, and 75%, while at 100% it has moderate effectiveness.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a widely represented species of bacteria possessing of a pathogenic potential. This infectious agent is causing wound infections, fibrotic cystitis, fibrosing pneumonia, bacterial sepsis, etc. The microorganism is highly resistant to antiseptics, disinfectants, immune system responses of the body. The responses of a quorum sense of this kind of bacteria ensure the inclusion of many pathogenicity factors. The analysis of the scientific literature made it possible to formulate four questions concerning the role of biofilms for the adaptation of P. aeruginosa to adverse environmental factors: Is another person appears to be predominantly of a source an etiological agent or the source of P. aeruginosa infection in the environment? Does the formation of biofilms influence on the antibiotic resistance? How the antagonistic activity of microorganisms is realized in biofilm form? What is the main function of biofilms in the functioning of bacteria? A hypothesis has been put forward the effect of biofilms on the increase of antibiotic resistance of bacteria and, in particular, P. aeruginosa to be secondary in charcter. It is more likely a biofilmboth to fulfill the function of storing nutrients and provide topical competition in the face of food scarcity. In connection with the incompatibility of the molecular radii of most antibiotics and pores in biofilm, biofilm is doubtful to be capable of performing a barrier function for protecting against antibiotics. However, with respect to antibodies and immunocompetent cells, the barrier function is beyond doubt. The biofilm is more likely to fulfill the function of storing nutrients and providing topical competition in conditions of scarcity of food resources.
