Abstract:

Background: Hand eczema is a very common condition that has a significant effect on an individual’s life in terms of daily functioning including various occupations. Studies show that the point prevalence of hand eczema is around 4% and the lifetime prevalence is 15%. Objective: The objective of this study is to determine the prevalence and pattern of hand eczemas in patients attending the Dermatology outpatient department of Bir hospital. Materials and methods: This is a retrospective study, where all the cases of hand eczema who presented to the Dermatology Out-Patient Department of Bir Hospital during the period from Baisakh 2075 till Chaitra 2075 B.S were recorded. Results: Eczema was diagnosed in 5,100 new cases (15.74%) and among them, hand eczema was seen in 494 cases, which accounts for 9.68% of all eczemas. The mean age was 37.43 years. Out of all the hand eczemas recorded, 334 (67.6%) were unspecified hand eczemas, pompholyx was seen in 92 (18.6%) cases, chronic hand eczema in 27 (5.5%), contact dermatitis in 20 (4%) patients and finger tip eczema was seen in 15 (3%) cases. Conclusion: Hand eczema is one of the common dermatological conditions. Our study showed the prevalence of hand eczema to be 9.68%.

Abstract:

Background: Eczema being widespread in India, not much research has been done on the clinico-epidemiological profile of eczemas or their potential association with other comorbidities. The study's objective was to determine the clinico-epidemiological profile of eczematous dermatoses in the elderly population and any potential relationships to risk factors and comorbidities. Methods: It was an observational cross-sectional analytical time bound clinico-epidemiological study which was conducted in the dermatology out-patient department of Topiwala National Medical College and B.Y.L. Nair hospital in Mumbai, Maharashtra, between March 2019 and September 2020. Parameters recorded were age, gender, occupation, onset, duration, and progression of diseases, aggravating and relieving factors, associated chronic medical, surgical, and skin conditions. Also, history of atopy, sun exposure and irritant application were taken. Results: Of the patients receiving out-patient care, 1.67% had eczema. Among 50 study patients, mean age was 70.02 years in males and 69.78 years among females. With 27.03% of patients, asteatotic and chronic eczema were the most prevalent kinds of eczema. In our study, we found a significant association (p=0.016) between hypertension and different forms of eczema, with chronic eczema being more common in hypertensive patients (80%). Most common comorbidity was diabetes, seen in 58% of patients with significant association (p=0.024) and asteatotic eczema being the most common form. There was a significant correlation (p=0.036) observed between eczema and various nail findings associated with eczema. Conclusions: Appropriate management of eczema is important in alleviating problems faced by the geriatric populations.

Abstract:

<p><strong>Background:</strong> Eczema is an inflammatory skin reaction which presents as acute, subacute and chronic forms. Eczemas persisting for more than 6 weeks or characterized by thickening and discoloration of skin is typical of chronic eczema. Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a type of chronic or chronically relapsing eczematous skin disorder. To determine the percentage of AD in all forms of chronic eczema by using HRC. We also estimated serum immunoglobulin E (IgE) levels and determined its correlation with chronic eczemas and with various clinical parameters of HRC.</p><p><strong>Methods:</strong> A total of 50 patients with chronic eczema meeting defined inclusion and exclusion criteria were enrolled in this cross-sectional study after taking an informed consent and approval of institutional ethical committee. All patients were subjected to a detailed history based on a questionnaire. A thorough clinical examination was done to determine all major and minor clinical parameters of HRC for AD. Blood samples were collected and AEC and total serum IgE levels were determined.</p><p><strong>Results:</strong> Most of our study patients were females (64%). Majority of males (77.7%) were farmers and majority of females (56.2%) were housewives assisting in fieldwork activities. Various causes of chronic eczema were clinically diagnosed AD (34%), chronic actinic dermatitis (8%), polymorphic light eruption (4%), airborne contact dermatitis (10%), phyto-photodermatitis (10%), chronic hand and/or foot eczema (16%) and seborrheic dermatitis (2%). Thirty-two patients (64%) satisfied HRC. Among all clinical parameters of HRC, pruritus and xerosis were the commonest in AD patients. Serum IgE level was raised in 58% of chronic eczema and 68.7% of AD patients.</p><p><strong>Conclusions:</strong> Serum IgE levels showed significant association with typical morphology and distribution of lesions, early age of onset and perifollicular accentuation.</p><h2> </h2>

Abstract:

Objectives: To determine the frequency of different types of eczema inpatients presenting in a tertiary care hospital. Study Design: Cross sectional descriptive typeof study. Setting: Hamdard University Hospital Karachi. Period: January 2013 till December2013. Patients and Methods: All new cases of any type of eczema were registered by nonprobabilityconvenient sampling. Total 192 patients of both genders and all ages were enrolledafter taking informed consent. Diagnosis was made on detailed history and clinical examinationby consultant dermatologist. All specific and relevant investigations were done accordingto requirement. Patients were divided in two groups, exogenous eczema and endogenouseczema, for convenience. Data was analyzed by the latest version of SPSS. Results: Therewere 192 patients, out of which 52.08% were males and 47.91% females. Out of the totalpresented patients 50% had endogenous eczema, 43.37% had exogenous eczema and25.62% had unspecified eczema. In endogenous group 11.45% had hand dermatitis followedby seborrhoeic dermatitis, atopic dermatitis and asteatotic eczema in descending frequencyof presentation. Pityriasis alba, discoid eczema and pompholyx were seen less frequent. Inexogenous eczema allergic contact dermatitis was seen in 14.06% patients, while irritant contactdermatitis in 11.45% patients. Infective eczema and photo-allergic eczema were seen in smallnumber of patients. Conclusion: It was found in this study that allergic contact dermatitis wasmost common type of eczema followed by other types. Whatever the type is, eczema can betreated, symptoms can be relieved and recurrences can be prevented by appropriate therapy.All types of eczema affect patient’s quality of life adversely. However, they can be prevented byeducating patients and their relatives to take adequate safety measures like using good qualityemollients prophylactically.

Abstract:

Abstract Introduction: Spongiosis is defined as intercellular edema and vesicles in the epidermis. Histopathology is the gold standard for the diagnosis of spongiotic disorders. Clinical diagnosis of eczema is sometimes unclear and confused with other dermatoses; histopathology often shows spongiotic tissue reaction patterns; such conditions are called spongiotic disorders. It is challenging for a dermatologist to make the correct diagnosis noninvasively with a dermoscope and thus we have taken up the study to correlate the dermoscopic and histopathological findings in spongiotic disorders to set dermoscopic criteria for the diagnosis. Objective: To study the dermoscopic features of spongiotic disorders and correlate clinical, dermoscopic, and histopathological findings. Materials and Methods: Two hundred fifty two patients, with history and clinical presentation suggesting eczema were enrolled. They were classified as Acute (<6 weeks), Subacute (6 weeks to 3 months), and Chronic (>3 months) eczemas based on duration. Dermoscopy and skin biopsy were performed on representative lesions. Data were compiled and statistically analyzed using frequency distribution and Chi-square test. Results: We correlated the diagnosis based on acute, subacute, and chronic with three modalities, clinical examination, dermoscopy, and histopathology. On clinical examination, acute (27.4%), subacute (42.9%), and chronic (29.7%) dermatitis. On dermoscopy, acute (28.5%), subacute (40.4%), and chronic (31.1%) dermatitis. On histopathology, acute (29.5%), subacute (44.2%), and chronic (26.3%) spongiosis. A positive correlation of 99%, 96.2%, and 95% was observed on dermoscopy and histopathology, in acute, subacute, and chronic eczemas, respectively. Dermoscopy of acute eczemas showed linear vessels (100%) and red background (100%). White-Clods (98.9%) and excoriation marks (70.1%). Dermoscopy of subacute eczemas showed white scales (99.1%), irregular pigment network (98.3%), vascular changes with irregular dots (97.4%), a brown-white background (93.1%), and black/brown/grey dots (91.4%). Dermoscopy of chronic eczema showed brown-white background (100%), irregular pigment network (100%), and black/brown/grey blotches (100%). Conclusion: Definitive dermoscopic patterns are observed consistently with spongiotic diseases and these can be used additionally to set dermoscopic criteria and confirm the diagnosis. Also, dermoscopic findings are well correlated with the already established histopathological features.

Abstract:

Timely intervention reduces the risk of a poor prognosis in hand eczema, making early recognition of symptoms important in high-risk professions. However, limited data exist regarding the ability of cleaners and healthcare workers to recognize hand eczema. The aim of this study was to examine cleaners’ and healthcare workers’ ability to recognize hand eczema in clinical photographs and to assess the severity of the disease. Cleaners and healthcare workers completed a questionnaire consisting of 16 questions and participated in a structured interview referring to a validated photographic severity guide for chronic hand eczema, which comprised clinical photographs of hand eczema at varying levels of severity. Eighty cleaners and 201 healthcare workers (total N = 281) participated in the study. The rates of correctly identified hand eczema in clinical photographs (cleaners/ healthcare workers) were: 41.2%/57.7% (mild hand eczema), 81.2%/92.0% (moderate hand eczema), 85.0%/94.5% (severe hand eczema) and 82.5%/97.0% (very severe hand eczema). The proficiency of healthcare workers in recognizing hand eczema was significantly higher than that of cleaners. The results indicate that a large proportion of cleaners and healthcare workers fail to recognize mild hand eczema in clinical photographs. Healthcare workers had higher success rates in recognizing hand eczema in all severity categories. Symptom underestimation may lead to under-reporting of the true prevalence of hand eczema, with consequent loss of opportunities for prevention.

Abstract:

Background: Endogenous eczemas have a significant effect on quality of life of patients and is a huge burden on healthcare. There is evidence that external factors play an important role in endogenous eczemas. The study was conducted to evaluate the role of patch test in endogenous eczemas and to identify any causal or aggravating allergen, the avoidance of which could augment response to standard therapy and prevent relapse.Methods: Four groups of 27 patients each, with clinical diagnosis of one of the major endogenous eczema namely, Atopic dermatitis, nummular eczema, pompholyx and seborrhoeic dermatitis satisfying the inclusion and exclusion criteria were included in the study. Demographic and clinical details were recorded and were patch tested with the Indian standard patch test battery. Dermatology life quality index (DLQI or children’s DLQI) was used at the presentation and after 03 months to assist in assessing the subjective improvement after avoidance of the agents incriminated by the patch test. Results: Of the 108 study participants, 61 (56.5%) patients had one or more positive results in the study, with maximum 21 (77.8%) in pompholyx and minimum of only 10 (37%) in patients of seborrhoeic dermatitis group. About, 36 (33.3%) patients had no change and 05 (4.6%) had worsening of their eczema.Conclusions: We found positive outcome in the form of clinical improvement or cure following the avoidance of allergens implicated by patch testing. This study recommends inclusion of patch test in the management protocol of endogenous eczemas.

Abstract:

Background: Early-life vitamin D is a potentially modifiable risk factor for the development of eczema, but there is a lack of data on longitudinal associations. Method: We measured 25(OH)D3 levels from neonatal dried blood spots in 223 high-allergy-risk children. Latent class analysis was used to define longitudinal eczema phenotype up to 25 years (4 subclasses). Skin prick tests (SPTs) to 6 allergens and eczema outcomes at 6 time points were used to define eczema/sensitization phenotypes. Associations between 25(OH)D3 and prevalent eczema and eczema phenotypes were assessed using logistic regression models. Results: Median 25(OH)D3 level was 32.5 nmol/L (P25-P75 = 23.1 nmol/L). Each 10 nmol/L increase in neonatal 25(OH)D3 was associated with a 26% reduced odds of early-onset persistent eczema (adjusted multinomial odds ratio (aMOR) = 0.74, 95% CI = 0.56–0.98) and 30% increased odds of early-onset-resolving eczema (aMOR = 1.30, 95% CI = 1.05–1.62) when compared to minimal/no eczema up to 12 years. Similar associations were seen for eczema phenotype up to 25 years. We did not see any strong evidence for the association between neonatal 25(OH)D3 and prevalent eczema or eczema/sensitization phenotype. Conclusions: Higher neonatal 25(OH)D3 levels, a reflection of maternal vitamin D levels in pregnancy, may reduce the risk of early-onset persistent eczema.

Abstract:

Prediction of the occurrence of eczema and the development of its severe forms is possible by identifying its morphological markers in patients with various forms and severity of dermatosis and their comparison with healthy subjects. The aim of the study was to examine the differences in body girth sizes between healthy and/or eczema patients depending on the severity of dermatosis. Patients with idiopathic (n=34) and microbial (n=38) eczema men of the first mature age underwent an anthropometric examination according to Bunak. The diagnosis of eczema was made according to the nomenclature of ICD-10. As a control from the data bank of the research center of National Pirogov Memorial Medical University, Vinnytsya anthropometric data of 82 practically healthy men of the same age group were selected. Statistical data processing was performed in the license package “Statistica 5.5” using non-parametric methods of evaluation of the obtained results. In healthy men, the following values of the following envelope sizes were found: shoulder girth in a tense state by 4.9 % compared with patients with severe eczema; unstressed shoulder girth by 7.3 % and 11.8 % compared with patients with idiopathic eczema of mild and severe course and by 10.0 % and 11.3% compared with patients with microbial eczema of mild and severe course; forearm girth in the upper part by 5.4 % compared with patients with idiopathic eczema of severe course; thigh girth by 5.1 % and 8.0 % compared with patients with idiopathic eczema of mild and severe course and by 7.1 % and 11.3 % compared with patients with microbial eczema of mild and severe course; thigh girth by 4.16 % and 4.5 % compared with patients with idiopathic severe eczema and mild microbial eczema; upper crus girth by 5.3 %, 7.5 % and 7.1 % compared with patients with idiopathic eczema of mild and severe course and microbial eczema of mild course; lower crus girth by 6.0 % compared with patients with mild microbial eczema; neck girth by 7.5 % and 6.8 % compared with patients with idiopathic severe eczema and mild microbial eczema; waist girth by 8.6 % and 15.6 % compared with patients with idiopathic eczema of mild and severe course and by 13.9 % and 16.7 % compared with patients with microbial eczema of mild and severe course; chest girth on inhalation, exhalation, at rest by 6.9 %, 9.5 % and 9.1 % compared with patients with idiopathic eczema of severe course. Only the girth of the foot in healthy men is 3.1 % higher than in sick men with mild microbial eczema. In men with idiopathic eczema, the neck girth was 5.4 % lower than in men with severe eczema. The obtained data can be used for a personalized approach in the creation of appropriate prevention and treatment and diagnostic programs.

Abstract:

Eczema is usually managed in primary care. Julie Van Onselen provides an overview of the principles of eczema treatment Eczema is a common skin condition, which for the majority is managed in primary care. Nurse prescribers should be aware of evidence–based guidelines in eczema treatment, on which they need to base prescribing decisions and work with the patient on individual skin care plans. Education and support in managing eczema is essential for patients of all ages (and carers of children and older people). Eczema has a huge impact on quality of life but a good management plan can make a big difference to controlling eczema, which is a chronic condition. This article explains the principles of eczema treatments, in acute, sub-acute and chronic stages of eczema with emollients, topical corticosteroids, antibiotics, antimicrobials and antivirals, topical calcineurin inhibitors and antihistamines.

Abstract:

One of frequent forms of eczema is infectious (microbic) eczema, in recent years tending to heavier current. In certain cases differentiation between the endogenous eczema complicated by a piodermiya, and infectious eczema is difficult. The method of the stratified randomization chose 139 patients with infectious eczema and the 50 with endogenous eczema. Manifestations of a disease were compared clinically and by means of a dermatoskopia. At patients with infectious eczema reliable more often the itch had easy temper, only at this group there were a burning and morbidity. the centers of defeat weren’t symmetric and had a clear boundary. Dermatoskopic differences of infectious eczema were a clear boundary, brighter uneven coloring of the center, yellow inclusions, a mesh vascular network (red lines). Two clinical examples are given.

Abstract:

Annotation. The problem of causation in the formation of eczema in terms of psychosomatic relationship is currently relevant and virtually unresolved. The application of the complex principle of research determines a multifaceted assessment of the psychological state of the personality of patients with eczema and the possibility of its optimal correction. The aim of the study was to study the differences between the indicators of the leading typological characteristics of temperament and psychodynamic features of personality between healthy and/or eczema patients depending on the severity of dermatosis. Men aged 22 to 35 years, with a diagnosis of true and microbial eczema, were evaluated for the leading typological characteristics of temperament according to the Eysenck questionnaire and psychodynamic personality traits according to the Spielberger-Khanin questionnaire. As a control from the data bank of the research center of National Pirogov Memorial Medical University, Vinnytsya indicators of the level of subjective control of 82 practically healthy men of the same age group were selected. Statistical processing of the results was performed in the license package “Statistica 5.5” using non-parametric evaluation methods. In general, it was found that among patients with eczema 5.6 % are introverts, potential introverts – 12.3 %, ambiverts – 44.6 %, potential extroverts – 29.0 % and extroverts – 8.5 %. Compared with healthy individuals, the percentage of patients with various forms and severity of eczema is higher due to subjects with low (all groups of patients) and potentially low levels of neuroticism (true eczema of mild course), low situational (true eczema of mild course eczema and microbial eczema of severe course) and personal (truth of severe eczema) anxiety, and lover – due to patients with potentially high levels of neuroticism (truth of severe eczema), moderate (severe microbial eczema) and high (truth of eczema mild) level and situation level of personal anxiety (the truth of mild eczema). Patients with severe disease are characterized by a higher level of neuroticism (true eczema) and a higher level of personal anxiety (microbial eczema) compared to patients with mild disease. Patients with severe microbial eczema have a higher level of situational anxiety compared to patients with true eczema of similar severity. Thus, psychodiagnostics, which is based solely on patients' self-description of their behavior, emotional and volitional state, leads to inconsistency, subjectivity, uninformativeness of the results of the study and does not reveal the dynamics of the disease or treatment features.

Abstract:

Data on chronic hand eczema and severity of hand eczema in the general population is scarce. In this cross-sectional study, a questionnaire was sent to 135,950 Lifelines Cohort Study participants, in order to investigate the prevalence and severity of hand eczema in the Dutch general population. In total, 57,798 subjects were included. The lifetime prevalence of hand eczema was 15.0% (95% confidence interval 14.7–15.3), the 1-year prevalence 7.3% (95% confidence interval 7.1–7.6), and the self-reported physician-diagnosed prevalence 6.1% (95% confidence interval 5.9–6.3). The 1-year prevalence of chronic hand eczema was 4.7% (95% confidence interval 4.5–4.9). The majority (56.9%) of the subjects with hand eczema had almost clear at worst ever and the prevalence of severe to very severe hand eczema at worst ever in the general population was 1.9% (95% confidence interval 1.8–2.1). Future epidemiological studies in the general population should include data about chronic hand eczema and severity of hand eczema, as this can provide perspective on the burden of hand eczema.

Abstract:

To evaluate the role of health education in the treatment of childhood atopic eczema, an eczema school was arranged for the parents. Fifty consecutive patients (aged 4 months-6 years 2 months) with atopic eczema of varying severity were randomly assigned into two groups; one group receiving routine information given by the physician during the medical visit, and the other group also visiting a trained nurse to receive further information on eczema treatment and practical training in controlling atopic eczema. The therapeutic effect was better in the group which had received extra guidance. We suggest that systematic training in eczema treatment should be organized as an important part of eczema treatment.

Abstract:

BACKGROUND Initiation and expansion of nurse-led eczema clinics at a large tertiary hospital in Melbourne has improved timely access to treatment and education for many children with eczema and their families. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to determine the effectiveness of nurse-led eczema clinics in treating eczema and reducing its impact on quality of life and also the level of parent or guardian satisfaction with the clinical experience. METHODS All families attending two weekly community-based nurse-led eczema clinics and two weekly hospital-based nurse-led eczema clinics were invited to take part in a survey-based evaluation. A parent or guardian completed surveys at initial and follow-up clinic visits, and eczema severity was assessed at both visits using SCORAD. RESULTS There were 342 participants. Eczema severity was reduced by 62% (18 points), and the quality-of-life impact scores fell by at least 50% for individuals and families. More than 90% of parents rated the clinician and overall clinic experience as “excellent” or “very good.” CONCLUSION The nurse-led eczema clinics were effective in reducing the severity of eczema and the negative impact of eczema on the individual and the family unit. The magnitude of this reduction was clinically and statistically significant. Participants' clinic experience was highly positive.

Abstract:

Consideration of the aspect of adaptation, in particular morphological, is expedient with obligatory comparison of morphometric indicators in healthy and sick patients and between groups of patients with different degrees of severity of dermatosis. The aim of the study was to investigate the differences between longitudinal and transverse body sizes between healthy and/or patients with eczema men depending on the severity of the dermatosis. Patients with idiopathic (n=34) and microbial (n=38) eczema men of the first mature age underwent an anthropometric examination according to Bunak. The diagnosis of eczema was made according to the nomenclature of ICD-10. As a control from the data bank of the research center of National Pirogov Memorial Medical University, Vinnytsya anthropometric data of 82 practically healthy men of the same age group were selected. Statistical data processing was performed in the license package “Statistica 5.5” using non-parametric methods of evaluation of the obtained results. In healthy men, compared with patients, higher values were found for: the height of the pubic anthropometric point by 3.5-5.7% and the height of the acetabular anthropometric point by 4.9-7.5% compared with sick men with idiopathic mild and severe eczema and mild and severe microbial eczema and lower values for: height of the suprathoracic anthropometric point by 1.7-2.6% for idiopathic eczema of mild, severe course and microbial eczema of mild course; height of the acromial anthropometric point by 1.6-2.3% compared with men with idiopathic eczema of mild and severe course; height of the finger anthropometric point by 3.0-5.9% compared with men with idiopathic eczema of mild and severe course and microbial eczema of mild and severe course. In healthy men, compared with patients, higher values were found: mid-thoracic diameter – by 3.1-11.1%, 5.5-14.4%, transverse lower thoracic diameter – by 8.6-14.1% and anterior-posterior mid-thoracic diameter – by 10.2-16.6% and smaller values: width of shoulders by 15.3-21.1% compared with men with idiopathic eczema of mild and severe course and microbial eczema of mild and severe course. In healthy individuals, the width of the distal epiphysis of the forearm is greater by 3.14% compared with patients with idiopathic severe eczema and the width of the distal epiphysis of the crus by 3.1% compared with patients with microbial eczema of mild course; smaller - the width of the distal epiphysis of the shoulder by 3.0% compared with patients with idiopathic eczema of severe course and the width of the distal epiphysis of the thigh by 5.2-7.6% compared with patients with idiopathic eczema of mild and severe course and microbial eczema of mild course. In healthy individuals, the values of the size of the pelvis are lower: interspinous distance – by 8.3-11.6%, intercristal distance – by 8.7-12.5% and intertrochanteric distance – by 7.7-10.5% compared with sick men with idiopathic mild and severe eczema and microbial eczema of the mild and severe course. Differences in longitudinal body size in patients with different forms and severity of eczema. When comparing anthropometric indicators between sick men, the following were found: the height of pubic and acetabular anthropometric points in sick men with idiopathic eczema of mild course is higher by 1.8% and 1.7%, respectively, compared with sick men with microbial eczema of similar severity; shoulder width in patients with idiopathic eczema of mild course is 4.8% less than in patients with idiopathic eczema of severe course. Thus, men with eczema have a subpathological constitutional type, which is characterized by an elongated “cylindrical” torso, shortened lower extremities, as well as more massive distal and less massive proximal epiphyses of the upper and lower extremities.
