Background Head lice (Pediculosis humanus capitis) infestation is of public health importance, associated with poor hygiene. This study was to determine the prevalence of head lice among a university community in Port Harcourt. Materials and Methods Random sampling technique and accidental sampling technique were used. A total of 300 people, age 16–40years were sampled from April to July 2021. Hair and scalp were examined using a magnifying glass and combing the hair with a fine-tooth comb on white paper facilitated the visualization and collection of adult lice and nymphs. Samples were preserved with 70% ethanol in a small size bottle and viewed under a stereomicroscope. Results Overall, the prevalence was 17%. The infestation was higher (18.2%) within the age group of 21–25years followed by those within the age group of 16–20 years (17.4%). More females (21.6%) were infected than males (9.0%). Based on the level of education, undergraduates (21%) were more infected followed by those with first degree (11.1%). Prevalence based on sex was statistically significant (P<0.002), but age (P=0.142) and the level of education (P=0.566) was not significant. Conclusion The prevalence of head lice infestation is high in Port Harcourt suggesting that Pediculus humanis is reemerging in the city and among the older population. Enlightenment campaign is recommended to contain further spread.

Introduction Skin and soft tissue disorders are common problems in patients with substance use. This research was conducted to assess the different types of skin and soft tissue problems in patients with substance use disorders. Patients and methods This observational research was conducted as a cross-sectional study among patients with substance use disorders, who were referred to governmental methadone maintenance treatment centers affiliated to Babol University of Medical Sciences, North of Iran. The patients were assessed by the research dermatologist and a psychiatrist. During a complete physical examination of the skin, hair, and nails and, if necessary, a biopsy of suspected lesions, various skin and soft tissue disorders were identified and classified. Results In total, 197 patients (188 men and nine women) with a mean age of 43.74±12.94 years were included in the research. Following complete examination, 10 (5.1%) patients with skin and soft tissue disorders were identified, of which three (30%) had pruritic eczema, two (20%) had psoriasis, one (10%) patient vitiligo, one (10%) had eczema with vasculitis, one (10%) had scarring and seborrheic keratosis, and two (20%) patients had inflammatory lesions. No significant association was found between skin disorders and age (P=0.14), sex (P=0.99), marital status (P=0.32), level of education (P=0.81), occupation (P=0.70), and living condition (P=0.23). Patients with heroin use had a significant difference with other substance users on the occurrence of skin disorders (P<0.001). Conclusions Dermatologic disorders should be considered in individuals with substance use disorders. Periodic skin examination of these patients is recommended.

Background Psoriasis is a common and complex multifactorial disease, in which both genetic and extrinsic factors contribute to activating an immunological reaction. Objectives This study aimed to evaluate the clinical, demographic, and laboratory characteristics of Egyptian psoriatic patients in Sohag, Upper Egypt. Patients and methods This study was a cross-sectional hospital-based study conducted on 200 Egyptian psoriatic patients. All the patients were subjected to complete demographic, clinical, and laboratory evaluations. Results Of the 200 Egyptian patients with psoriasis, the mean age was 42.83±17.3 years; 60% were males, 53% were from rural areas, 47% were smokers, 66% were with positive family history, 91% were with gradual onset, 75% were with a progressive course, and 6.99±3.9 months was the mean duration of the diseases. The main associated symptom with psoriasis was itching in 72%. Psoriasis vulgaris was the most common type in 69.5%. Upper limbs were the most commonly affected sites in 78% of the psoriatic patients. Seasonal variation was the most common exacerbating factor in 51.5% of psoriatic patients. Iron-deficiency anemia was detected in 31% of the psoriatic patients. Liver diseases were associated comorbidities with 29.5% of psoriatic patients and hepatitis C virus infection was presented in 4.5% of psoriatic patients. Metabolic syndrome and stress were detected in 36 and 21% of psoriatic patients, respectively. Conclusion The healthcare providers and patients should be aware of the early detection of associated comorbidities with psoriasis to avoid major complications. The recognition of stress and its specific treatment should be considered an integral part of the treatment of psoriatic patients. Screening for hepatitis is important in Egyptian psoriatic patients. Consanguineous marriage should be avoided in patients with a family history of psoriasis.

Werner syndrome, a premature aging disorder, is a rare cause of pseudoscleroderma and can present with a multitude of clinical features involving the skin, endocrine and cardiovascular systems. Although genetic, the disease has its onset in puberty and cutaneous features like graying of hair, atrophic sclerotic skin, recurrent ulcers, and dyspigmentation are the first to manifest. All these features usually mislead the clinician to make a diagnosis of systemic sclerosis. A similar case is being presented and the importance of differentiating these two disorders is being discussed.
