Line Of Therapy

Dermatophytes, the most common causative agents, are assuming high significance in developing countries like India. These organisms metabolise keratin and cause a range of pathologic clinical presentations, including tinea pedis, tinea corporis, tinea cruris, etc. Although usually painless and superficial, these fungi can behave in an invasive manner, causing deeper and disseminated infection and should not be neglected. The lesions may become widespread and may have significant negative social, psychological, and occupational health effects, and can compromise the quality of life significantly. The recent prevalence of dermatophytosis in India ranges from 36.6-78.4%. Currently, dermatologists across India are inundated with cases of dermatophytosis presenting with unusual large lesions, ring within ring lesions, multiple site lesions (tinea cruris et corporis), and corticosteroid modified lesions, making diagnosis a difficult bet. 1 First line of therapy has always been a topical agent; while in resistance of the topical agents next preferred treatment are the oral therapies of antifungal agents (Ketoconazole, Terbinafine, Fluconazole and Itraconazole). However complementary and alternative therapy has also shown the significant results in control of growth of these dermatophytes. Homoeopathy has always been a safe and cost effective treatment in cases of dermatophyte infections.2 The present case report of a 31 years old Muslim female, Sepia officinalis 1M and Sulphur (30C and 200C) have shown marked improvement in the reduction of the lesion. Key words: Tinea corporis, homoeopathy, totality of symptoms, repertorisation.

Background: Although herpetic skin infection is very common, herpetic folliculitis is infrequently reported in the literature. It has varied presentations, some of which are clinically atypical requiring histopathological confirmation of follicular involvement. Objective: We describe an otherwise healthy young adult male with extensive herpetic sycosis of the beard area, which is a variant of herpetic folliculitis. The diagnosis was confirmed by typical herpetic cytopathic changes in Tzanck smear and positive viral culture for HSV-1. Method: This article includes a case report and a literature review of herpetic (simplex and varicella/zoster) folliculitis. Conclusions: More cases of herpetic folliculitis should be reported to improve our understanding of this disease entity. Physicians should consider herpetic or other viral etiology in patients with folliculitis even if they were healthy, especially if they show resistance to antibacterial and antifungal therapy.

Annular elastolytic giant cell granuloma (AEGCG) is a rare granulomatous skin disease of unclear pathogenesis which belongs to the group of disorders in the skin and elastic fibers with similar clinical features of granuloma annulare (GA). This case report is intended to describe a rare hybrid pattern in histopathology demonstrating coexistence of AEGCG and GA. An endocrine disease, such as diabetes mellitus (DM), could contribute to the coexistence of both lesions, and this possibility must be included in the medical investigation.
