Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic inflammatory disease that affects people of all ages, usually with onset in childhood. It is a multifactorial, complex disorder that causes disruption of the skin barrier and is associated with an abnormal immune response that can predispose to both cutaneous and extracutaneous infections with the potential to become systemic infections. The aim of this article is to present cutaneous infections as the most common complications of atopic dermatitis (AD). Atopic dermatitis (AD) increases susceptibility to skin viral and bacterial infections. These include Staphylococcus aureus colonization, molluscum contagiosum (MC), eczema herpeticum (EH) and human papilloma virus (HPV) infection. Among them, Staphylococcus aureus infection is the most frequently observed. Molluscum contagiosum (MC) and AD are considered risk factors for each other. However, studies on the relationship between MC and AD are divergent and there is a need for further research. Eczema herpeticum and systemic infections can be life-threatening nevertheless they are not common. Individuals with AD are more prone to HPV infections with various subtypes. Research shows that AD increases the risk of cervical cancer. Cutaneous infections are the most common complication of atopic dermatitis (AD) and are associated with various health risks. Preventive therapy in AD emphasizes improving the skin barrier. Early recognition of skin infections and introduction of adequate therapy is important to prevent serious medical complications. Keywords: Staphylococcus aureus, Eczema Herpeticum, HPV, Molluscum Contagiosum.
特应性皮炎(AD)是一种慢性炎症性疾病,影响各个年龄段的人群,通常在儿童时期发病。特应性皮炎是一种多因素导致的复杂疾病,会破坏皮肤屏障,并伴有异常的免疫反应,容易引起皮肤和皮外感染,并有可能发展为全身感染。特应性皮炎(AD)会增加皮肤病毒和细菌感染的易感性。这些感染包括金黄色葡萄球菌定植、软疣(MC)、带状疱疹湿疹(EH)和人类乳头瘤病毒(HPV)感染。其中,金黄色葡萄球菌感染最为常见。传染性软疣(MC)和 AD 被认为是相互影响的危险因素。然而,有关 MC 和 AD 之间关系的研究却存在分歧,因此需要进一步研究。带状疱疹湿疹和全身感染可能会危及生命,但并不常见。AD 患者更容易感染各种亚型的 HPV。研究表明,AD 会增加罹患宫颈癌的风险。皮肤感染是特应性皮炎(AD)最常见的并发症,与各种健康风险相关。特应性皮炎的预防治疗强调改善皮肤屏障。皮肤感染的早期识别和适当治疗对于预防严重的医疗并发症非常重要:金黄色葡萄球菌 带状疱疹湿疹 HPV 软疣

Introduction. People with disabilities are individuals with full rights, who find themselves in a handicapped situation due to environmental, economic and social barriers that they cannot overcome in the same way as other people. About 15% of the global population live with disability. The number of patients suffering from cardiovascular diseases (CVD) and pulmonary diseases is increasing. Aim. The aim of the study was to find out if CVD and lung diseases were among the leading causes of issuing disability certificates in Lublin in 2006-2021. Material and methods. The data was obtained through a query at the Municipal Disability Adjudication Council in Lublin. We obtained anonymized data from years 2006-2021 referring to 16+ population. Results. In the years 2006-2021 Municipal Disability Adjudication Council in Lublin issued 76,581 disability certificates for persons over 16 years of age. Out of that number 15,648 (20%) certificates were issued due to CVD and pulmonary diseases. These were on the second position among causes of disability after musculoskeletal diseases. The certificate recipients were mainly men > 60years of age with secondary or vocational education. In all age groups unemployed persons predominated. Conclusion. The cardiovascular and pulmonary diseases were the second common reason of issuing disability certificates to adults in Lublin in the years 2006-2021. Keywords: disability, cardiovascular diseases, lung diseases.
