Tinea imbrikata pada seorang remaja di daerah endemis: laporan kasus

Sompotan, Vinny·2025·Intisari Sains Medis

Abstract

Background: Tinea imbricata is a superficial dermatophytosis with a high recurrence rate caused by Trichophyton concentricum. This condition is characterized by a distinctive morphology of concentric papulosquamous lesions and is transmitted through direct contact with fungal spores or filaments. Genetic, environmental, and immune factors also contribute to the development of this disease. This case report aims to describe the management of Tinea imbricata in a teenage patient from an endemic area with limited medical facilities. Case Presentation: A 16-year-old female presented with a one-year history of scaly, itchy lesions on her hands, feet, and buttocks. Family members living in the same household also experienced similar symptoms. The patient had poor hygiene practices, including infrequent bathing without soap, rarely changing clothes, and sharing clothing and towels with family members. Dermatological examination revealed concentric and polycyclic maculopapular squamous lesions widely distributed on the upper and lower extremities and gluteal region. Differential diagnoses included Tinea imbricata, seborrheic dermatitis, and psoriasis. The diagnosis was confirmed through a 10% KOH examination of skin scrapings, revealing fungal spores and hyphae. The patient was treated with Griseofulvin 500 mg daily for six weeks and 2% Miconazole cream topically twice daily, with follow-up evaluations every 7–10 days. Conclusion: This report highlights a case of Tinea imbricata in a teenage girl from an endemic area. Treatment with Griseofulvin and Miconazole cream resulted in significant clinical improvement, supporting this approach as an effective management strategy for similar cases. Education on personal and environmental hygiene is also critical in preventing recurrence and further transmission. Latar Belakang: Tinea imbrikata adalah dermatofitosis superfisial dengan tingkat kekambuhan tinggi yang disebabkan oleh Trichophyton concentricum. Penyakit ini memiliki morfologi khas berupa massa papuloskuamosa yang tersusun konsentris dan ditularkan melalui kontak langsung dengan spora atau filamen jamur. Faktor genetik, lingkungan, dan kekebalan tubuh turut berperan dalam perkembangan penyakit ini. Tujuan laporan ini adalah untuk mendeskripsikan tatalaksana kasus Tinea imbrikata pada seorang remaja di daerah endemis dengan fasilitas medis yang terbatas. Presentasi Kasus: Seorang remaja perempuan berusia 16 tahun datang dengan keluhan kulit bersisik dan gatal di tangan, kaki, dan bokong selama satu tahun. Keluarga serumah juga mengalami keluhan serupa. Pasien memiliki riwayat higienitas buruk, termasuk mandi tanpa sabun, jarang mengganti pakaian, dan sering bertukar pakaian serta handuk dengan anggota keluarga. Pemeriksaan dermatologi menunjukkan makulo papulo skuamosa konsentris dan polisiklik yang tersebar luas pada ekstremitas atas, bawah, dan gluteus. Diagnosis banding meliputi Tinea imbrikata, dermatitis seboroik, dan psoriasis. Diagnosis dikonfirmasi melalui pemeriksaan KOH 10% yang menunjukkan morfologi spora dan hifa. Pasien diterapi dengan Griseofulvin 500 mg per hari selama enam minggu dan krim Miconazole 2% topikal dua kali sehari, dengan evaluasi setiap 7–10 hari. Simpulan: Laporan ini menggambarkan kasus Tinea imbrikata pada remaja perempuan di daerah endemis. Terapi dengan Griseofulvin dan krim Miconazole memberikan perbaikan klinis yang signifikan, mendukung penggunaan pendekatan ini sebagai tatalaksana efektif untuk kasus serupa. Edukasi tentang higienitas pribadi dan lingkungan juga sangat penting untuk mencegah kekambuhan dan penularan lebih lanjut.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
