Are Dermatophytid Reactions in Patients with Kerion Celsi Much More Common Than Previously Thought? A Prospective Study

Dermatophytid reactions are secondary eruptions in response to dermatophytosis. Only a few cases demonstrating an association between dermatophytid reactions and tinea capitis have been reported. Dermatophytid reactions were evaluated in patients diagnosed with kerion celsi. Patients admitted to the dermatology clinic of Van Regional Training and Research Hospital between November 22, 2012, and July 1, 2013, diagnosed with kerion celsi were evaluated for dermatophytid reactions. Six girls (32%) and 13 boys (68%) were included in this study. Dermatophytid reactions were detected in 13 of the 19 patients (68%). Seven patients (36.84%) had eczematous patches or plaques and three (15.8%) had papules. Eczematous lesions, papules, and pustules were noted in two patients (10.5%) and one (5.3%) had signs of an angioedema‐like reaction. Dermatophytid reactions in all patients were observed before the initiation of therapy. According to our clinical experiences, dermatophytid reactions in patients with kerion celsi were more common than reported. Eczematous scaly patches or plaques were the most frequently seen forms of dermatophytid in patients with kerion celsi. Dermatophytid reactions may occur before or after initiation of systemic antifungal therapy. Recognition of this reaction is important so that dermatophytids can be distinguished from drug reactions and the decision can be made whether to continue or to stop the systemic antifungal treatment.     

慢性心力衰竭护理结局分类评价表的构建研究

目的本研究以护理结局分类(NOC)为基础,筛选符合慢性心力衰竭患者的相关护理结局,由此构建具有专科专病特点的慢性心力衰竭患者护理结局评价表。方法成立研究核心小组,应用文献回顾法、专家函询法确定护理结局分类指标,并进行统计学分析,最终建立慢性心力衰竭护理结局分类评价表。结果通过研究,确定慢性心力衰竭护理结局中包含4个领域、8个一级指标、68个二级指标。4个领域分别是生理健康、功能健康、健康知识和行为、心理社会健康。一级指标中包含心脏泵血功能、活动耐力、社会支持、抑郁水平等。二级指标中包含心脏指数、血压、呼吸困难、情绪波动大、步行距离、步行速度等68个指标。统计学分析中:第一、二轮函询专家的积极系数分别为90%、100%,专家权威系数为0.895,专家意见协调程度(P<0.05)。结论本研究成功建立慢性心力衰竭护理结局分类评价表,有助于临床护士用于评价护理措施的有效性,也使其成为一种标准化语言,便于应用到护理电子信息系统中进行绩效测算等。但是本研究不足之处是未能将该研究进行临床实证,未能进一步确认其有效性。
