Cutaneous leishmaniasis is a parasitic disease caused by over more than 20 Leishmania species, in both tropical and subtropical regions. There are three main forms of the disease: visceral leishmaniasis (VL), Cutaneous Leishmaniasis (CL) and Mucocutaneous Leishmaniasis (MCL), Leishmania braziliensis predominates in Guatemala. We present a case study of a 15-year-old female patient, referred from the Jutiapa hospital for presenting a lesion in the right ear of 3 months of evolution. When interviewing the patient, she mentions that several months ago she presented a "wheal" on her ear after being bitten by a mosquito, which turned red, grew and then she saw it open and form an ulcer with scabs on the ear. surface, which is not painful. The Giemsa-stained rub revealed the presence of Leishman bodies and the biopsy revealed amastigotes within the histiocytes, thus confirming the initial diagnosis of cutaneous Leishmaniasis. Due to the above, treatment with glucantime was started at a dose of 20mg/kg for 20 days, which improved the condition and resolved it. The patient's sister had the same condition, which was confirmed using the same techniques and is treated with what also resolves it. It is important to take cutaneous leishmania into account as a differential diagnosis in patients who present painless ulcers despite not being in a precisely endemic area.

The Trichilemmal carcinoma (TC) is a rare skin adnexal malignant tumor that develops from the outer root sheath of hair follicles or most often from a trichilemmal cyst, after multiple trauma and / or iterative inflammations. We report the case of a 64-year-old patient who consulted for a scalp tumor, evolving progressively for 2 years.

Introduction: Scabies is a contagious parasitic skin infestation caused by Sarcoptes scabiei variant hominis. Few white epidemiological data concerning scabies in Congo is available. The objective of this study was to describe the epidemiological aspects of scabies in Brazzaville (Congo). Patients and methods: It was a retrospective study conducted from January 2016 to December 2018 in Talangai Reference Hospital in Brazzaville, Congo. Patients of any age received in outpatient dermatology for the diagnosis of scabies were included. The data was collected were age, sex, area of residence, season. Results: Of 57 patients included, 29 were male and 28 females. Adults were 47.37% of cases (n=27) and children 52.03% of cases (n=30). The scabies frequency was 2.3% of consultations cases. In adults and in children scabies accounted for 1.53% and 6.09% of reasons for consultation respectively. The mean age was 2.8 years (SD 2.6) in children and 34 years (SD 13.6) in adults. The age group between 0 and 5 years accounted for 42.1% of cases (n=24). Rainy season was the consultation period in 75.44% of cases (n=43). Conclusion: Scabies is common among pediatric dermatoses. Its evaluation in the general population is necessary for a better representation of the extent of the disease.

Introduction: Topical corticosteroids are used for various conditions in dermatology like vitiligo, eczema and psoriasis. They should be used rationally to minimize the side effects. The present study is done to document and improve the pattern of prescribing topical steroids among patients attending Skin OPD at tertiary care centre. Material & Methods: The study was a prospective audit of 100 prescriptions issued to the patients in skin OPD. The data was collected for age and sex of patients, dermatosis for which it is prescribed, number and molecule of drugs, with its dose, site, duration, strength, quantity and frequency of administration. Descriptive statistics was used for analysis. Results: Present study is an audit of 100 prescriptions. Sixty two patients were males and 49% were in 13-40 years of age group. Most common skin condition for which topical steroid prescribed was eczema in 34%. Average 3-6 drugs were prescribed in majority (82%) of prescriptions. The potent corticosteroids was the most frequently prescribed group in 46% prescriptions and most common molecule prescribed was betamethasone valerate in 27%. In 73% prescriptions twice daily application was advised. Maximum 50% prescriptions of TCS were for 7-15 days and site of application was mentioned in 70%. Generic and brand names were mentioned in all prescriptions with quantity of drug. Fingertip unit application was mentioned in 3% of prescriptions. Conclusion: The most common indication for prescribing topical steroids was eczema and the most common molecule prescribed was betamethasone valerate. Generic and brand names for drugs were used in all prescription, but advice about Finger tip method application was not a routine practice.

Background: Preterm infants have a greater susceptibility to serious infections because their skin barrier has not fully functioned properly. Early birth in preterm infants causes immaturity of the barrier development, in the form of a thinner stratum corneum. Therefore extra care is needed to maintain the integrity of their skin to prevent infection, where the main recommendation is the administration of emollients, such as coconut oil. Virgin coconut oil contains nutrients and lauric acid that are more maintained and higher than coconut oil. Changes in skin integrity can cause extensive skin damage and become risk factors for infection. Erythema or damage to the skin such as erosion, excoriation, or crusting can be an early symptom of life-threatening infection in preterm infants. Assessment of skin integrity can be assessed objectively using the Neonatal Skin Condition Score (NSCS). Virgin coconut oil as an emollient with its antimicrobial activity is expected to allow improvement of the barrier structure of the skin. Aim: The purpose of this study is to review previous studies to provide a systematic summary of the effectiveness of topical coconut oil in improving the skin integrity of premature infants. Methods: Searching the electronic database Pubmed-MEDLINE, Scopus, ProQuest, Cochrane library, ClinicalTrials.gov, and Google Scholar, found five most relevant articles included in the qualitative and two of those five articles included in the meta-analysis. Result: The meta-analysis of the effect of topical VCO compared with control on NSCS values in preterm infants showed the value of heterogeneity test with Tau2=0.04 df=1; p=0.13, I2=55%. The value of the Q statistic was z value = 5.23 (p < 0.001). This shows that the overall administration of topical VCO can significantly improve the value of NSCS on preterm infants. The results of the overall meta-analysis showed that the overall standardized mean difference in NSCS between the intervention group compared to control was -0.93[-1.28 -0.58] (p < 0.001). These results indicate that the overall NSCS value of the intervention group was significantly better than the control group. Conclusion: Data from a systematic review and meta-analysis showed that the application of VCO can provide significantly better results in improving the skin integrity of preterm infants
