RESUMEN

Chronic nodular prurigo (CNP) is a chronic dermatological disease characterized by the presence of chronic pruritus and pruritic nodular lesions. The aim of this study was to reach consensus among a group of experts based on a non-systematic literature review and an algorithm for the clinical diagnosis of CNP. The resulting algorithm is structured in 3 blocks: 1) early identification of the patient with a possible diagnosis of CNP; 2) diagnosis and assessment of CNP; and 3) categorization of CNP (identification of the underlying causes or associated comorbidities). We believe that this clinical algorithm can facilitate the correct diagnosis of patients with CNP. Additionally, it raises awareness on the need for a multidisciplinary approach and specific treatment of CNP, steps of paramount importance to make better therapeutic decisions.

RESUMEN

INTRODUCTION: Patient-reported outcomes (PROs) provide subjective information about their disease, treatment, and quality of life. OBJECTIVE: To introduce a new system of work coordinated between pharmacists and dermatologists, based on the collection and analysis of PROs to assess its clinical impact as well as patients satisfaction. METHOD: A prospective single-centre observational study was conducted under clinical conditions and included adult patients diagnosed with psoriasis (PS) and atopic dermatitis (AD) between April-2021 and February-2022. Pharmacists and dermatologists agreed on this systematic work. A REDCap® database was designed to facilitate data collection and the subsequent analysis. RESULTS: A total of 288 and 41 patients with PS and AD, respectively, were included. Those who started treatment showed significant improvement with a decrease in PROs and clinical parameters (p < 0.001). The pharmacist made 168 and 7 recommendations to dermatologists for PS and AD patients, respectively, of which 66.07% and 57.1% were accepted. The most common recommendations were «consult with rheumatologist¼ (20.83%), «extend drug regimen¼ (19.64%) and «consider change in treatment¼ (11.90%). Adverse events were reported in 55 and 17 patients with PS and AD, respectively. Of 103 patients, 75% were «very satisfied¼ and 20% «satisfied¼ with the system. CONCLUSIONS: This new working system helps to evaluate the short and long-term effectiveness of treatments and also to identify adverse events, alarm symptoms and co-morbidities in order to optimize therapies. Collaboration between pharmacists and dermatologists reduces decision-making time and patients appreciate better clinical care leading to higher patient satisfaction.

RESUMEN

El control de la dermatitis atópica (DA), una de las dermatosis más frecuentes, es en muchas ocasiones un reto terapéutico. En el presente estudio se ha utilizado la metodología Delphi con el objetivo de poner en común las perspectivas del dermatólogo y del farmacéutico hospitalario ante el manejo de la DA y establecer una serie de recomendaciones de actuación adaptadas a las diferentes situaciones que plantea la enfermedad. El cuestionario Delphi ha sido definido por un comité científico y se ha dividido en 2bloques: 1) valoración de la respuesta al tratamiento del paciente con DA, y 2) cooperación entre Dermatología y Farmacia Hospitalaria (FH). Como resultado del estudio, se ha alcanzado un consenso total del 86%. Se concluye que el dermatólogo y el farmacéutico hospitalario deben tener una buena comunicación y trabajar coordinados para conseguir optimizar el manejo del paciente con DA y su respuesta al tratamiento (AU)


Managing atopic dermatitis, one of the most common dermatologic conditions, is often challenging. To establish consensus on recommendations for responding to various situations that arise when treating atopic dermatitis, a group of hospital pharmacists and dermatologists used the Delphi process. A scientific committee developed a Delphi survey with 2 blocks of questions to explore the group's views on 1) evaluating response to treatment in the patient with atopic dermatitis and 2) cooperation between the dermatology department and the hospital pharmacy service. The experts achieved an overall rate of consensus of 86% during the process. Conclusions were that dermatologists and hospital pharmacists must maintain good communication and coordinate their interventions to optimize the management of atopic dermatitis and patients’ responses to treatment (AU)

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: The data in clinical practice regarding the effectiveness and safety of brodalumab in psoriasis are scarce, especially at scalp and palmoplantar locations. The main objective was the percentage of patients achieving absolute PASI ≤3/ ≤1/ =0 for plaque psoriasis and the percentage of patients achieving an IGA 0-1/IGA 0 for the special locations at Week 52 of treatment. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Observational retrospective multicentre study in 28 Spanish Hospitals that included adult patients with plaque psoriasis treated with brodalumab, from September 2018 until March 2021. RESULTS: A total of 200 patients were included. The mean baseline PASI was 10.97 (±6.28) with a mean basal scalp (n = 58) and palmoplantar (n = 40) IGA of 2.10 (±0.97) and 2.15 (±1.26), respectively. At Week 52, 93.98%/75.90%/68.67% of patients reached an absolute PASI ≤3/ ≤1/ =0 in plaque psoriasis (n = 83), with a percentage of patients achieving scalp (n = 27) and palmoplantar (n = 19) IGA 0-1/IGA 0 of 96.3%/88.9% and 100%/88.9%, respectively. Fifteen per cent of patients reported any adverse events with candidiasis being the most reported (6%), but only 6% of the adverse events required the withdrawal. CONCLUSIONS: Brodalumab demonstrated high PASI and IGA responses and was well tolerated in clinical practice in plaque, scalp and palmoplantar psoriasis.

RESUMEN

Objetivo: Describir los cambios en el comportamiento de las ITS durante la situación de alerta sanitaria por la pandemia SARS-CoV-2. Material y métodos: Se recogieron datos demográficos, cronológicos y clínicos de todos los pacientes que solicitaron atención médica por ITS en los hospitales La Paz y Costa del Sol, y en los Centros Sandoval y de Diagnóstico Médico, entre el 14/03/2020 y el 30/06/2020. Resultados: Documentamos 674 casos de ITS. La mediana de edad fue de 33años. El mayor porcentaje de casos se dio en el rango de 30-40años y en hombres que tenían sexo con hombres. Los diagnósticos más frecuentes fueron: proctitis (36,5%), sífilis (16%), uretritis no gonocócica (13,3%) y gonocócica (11,3%), herpes genital (8,8%), vulvovaginitis/cervicitis (8,3%) y condilomas (4,2%). En el 77% de los casos hubo confirmación microbiológica, siendo los microorganismos más frecuentes Chlamydia trachomatis (35,7%), Neisseria gonorrhoeae (31,4%) y Treponema pallidum (17,2%). Se constató un incremento del número de casos de ITS tras el desconfinamiento, explicable por las mayores libertades y el aumento de consultas. Comparando los registros de ITS del Centro Sandoval y del Hospital La Paz en los cuatrimestres de marzo a junio de 2019 frente a 2020, se observó una disminución en 2020 de todos los diagnósticos, de hasta el 81% menos que en 2019.Conclusiones:Las medidas de distanciamiento y limitación de movilidad aparentemente generaron una disminución de la incidencia de ITS, pero sin llegar a una inhibición completa de las conductas sexuales de riesgo (AU)


Objectivs: To describe changes in sexually transmitted infection (STI) diagnoses during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic in Spain. Material and methods: We collected demographic, chronological, and clinical data for all patients seen for a possible STI at Hospital La Paz, Centro Sanitario Sandoval, and Centro de Diagnóstico Médico in Madrid and Hospital Costa del Sol in Malaga between March 14, 2020 and June 30, 2020. Results: We identified 674 STI diagnoses. The median age of the patients was 33years. Most cases were observed among people aged 30 to 40years and among men who have sex with men. The most common diagnoses were proctitis (36.5%), syphilis (16%), nongonococcal (13.3%) and gonococcal (11.3%) urethritis, genital herpes (8.8%), vulvovaginitis/cervicitis (8.3%), and genital warts (4.2%). A microbiologically confirmed diagnosis was on record for 77% of cases. The main microorganisms identified were Chlamydia trachomatis (35.7%), Neisseria gonorrhoeae (31.4%) and Treponema pallidum (17.2%). The number of STI diagnoses increased after the easing of lockdown restrictions, which resulted in greater freedom of movement and more consultations. On comparing the 2019 and 2020 STI registries from Centro Sanitario Sandoval and Hospital La Paz for the period March to June, we observed reductions (of up to 81%) in all STI diagnoses. Conclusions: Physical distancing and movement restrictions appear to have resulted in a reduction in the incidence of STIs, although these measures did not completely eliminate sexual risk behaviors (AU)

RESUMEN

Introducción La enfermedad por coronavirus-19 (COVID-19) se ha relacionado con múltiples síntomas: respiratorios, trombóticos, neurológicos, digestivos o cutáneos. Estos últimos se han clasificado en 5 tipos: lesiones acroisquémicas, lesiones vesiculares, erupción urticarial, exantema maculopapular o lesiones livedoides. Sin embargo, se han descrito mucho menos las alteraciones orales asociadas a la COVID-19. Pacientes y métodos Presentamos un estudio transversal realizado durante abril del 2020 en el Hospital de Campaña de IFEMA examinando la mucosa oral de 666 pacientes con COVID-19. Resultados En total, 78 pacientes (11,7%) presentaron alteraciones en la mucosa oral. La más frecuente fue papilitis lingual transitoria anterior en forma de U (11,5%) asociada o no a edema lingual (6,6%); estomatitis aftosa (6,9%), mucositis (3,9%) glositis con depapilación en parches (3,9%), boca urente (5,3%), lengua saburral (1,6%) y enantema (0,5%). La mayoría refería disgeusia asociada. Conclusión La cavidad oral se puede alterar por la enfermedad COVID-19, el edema lingual con papilitis lingual transitoria en forma de U o la glositis con depapilación en parches son los signos encontrados con mayor frecuencia, al igual que la sensación de ardor en la cavidad oral o boca urente. Otras manifestaciones orales que se pueden asociar a la COVID-19 son mucositis con o sin aftas o el enantema. Todos pueden ser signos clave para un diagnóstico de esta enfermedad (AU)


Background Coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) has many manifestations, including respiratory, thrombotic, neurologic, digestive, and cutaneous ones. Cutaneous manifestations have been classified into 5 clinical patterns: acro-ischemic (pseudo-chilblain), vesicular, urticarial, maculopapular, and livedoid. Oral manifestations have also been reported, but much less frequently. Patients and methods We performed a cross-sectional study in which we examined the oral mucosa of 666 patients with COVID-19 at the IFEMA field hospital in Madrid in April 2020. Results Seventy-eight patients (11.7%) had changes involving the oral mucosa. The most common were transient anterior U-shaped lingual papillitis (11.5%) accompanied or not by tongue swelling (6.6%), aphthous stomatitis (6.9%), a burning sensation in the mouth (5.3%), mucositis (3.9%), glossitis with patchy depapillation (3.9%), white tongue (1.6%), and enanthema (0.5%). Most of the patients also reported taste disturbances. Conclusion COVID-19 also manifests in the oral cavity. The most common manifestations are transient U-shaped lingual papillitis, glossitis with patchy depapillation, and burning mouth syndrome. Mucositis with or without aphthous ulcers or enanthema may also be observed. Any these findings may be key clues to a diagnosis of COVID-19 (AU)
