Impetigo
☆ Katika matokeo ya 2022 ya Stiftung Warentest kutoka Ujerumani, kuridhika kwa watumiaji na ModelDerm kulikuwa chini kidogo kuliko na mashauriano ya matibabu ya simu yanayolipishwa.
Kesi ya impetigo kwenye kidevu. Impetigo inapaswa kushukiwa ikiwa mtoto mdogo hana historia ya kuumia, lakini vidonda vinavyofanana na jeraha vinaenea.
Tofauti na ugonjwa wa ngozi ya atopiki, impetigo inahitaji matibabu ya viuavijasumu na inaweza kuwa mbaya zaidi kwa kutumia dawa za steroidi.

Impetigo , maambukizi ya ngozi ya bakteria ya kawaida kwa watoto wenye umri wa miaka miwili hadi mitano, huja katika aina mbili kuu: zisizo na bullous (70% ya kesi) na bullous (30% ya kesi) . Impetigo isiyo na bullous kwa kawaida husababishwa na Staphylococcus aureus au Streptococcus pyogenes. Inatambulika kwa ukoko wa rangi ya asali kwenye uso na miguu na mikono na inalenga zaidi ngozi au inaweza kuambukiza kuumwa na wadudu, ukurutu, au vidonda vya herpetic. Impetigo ya bullous, inayosababishwa pekee na S. Aureus, husababisha bullae kubwa, iliyopigwa na mara nyingi huathiri maeneo ambapo ngozi husugua pamoja. Aina zote mbili kwa kawaida hutoweka ndani ya wiki mbili hadi tatu bila kovu, na matatizo ni nadra, huku glomerulonephritis ya poststreptococcal ikiwa mbaya zaidi. Matibabu huhusisha viua vijasumu (mupirocin, retapamulin, fusidic acid) . Viuavijasumu vya kumeza vinaweza kuhitajika kwa impetigo na bullae kubwa au wakati matibabu ya juu hayawezekani. Ingawa antibiotics kadhaa za kumeza (amoxicillin/clavulanate, dicloxacillin, cephalexin, clindamycin, doxycycline, minocycline, trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole, macrolides) ni chaguo, penicillin haifai. Dawa za kuua viini sio nzuri kama vile viua vijasumu na zinapaswa kuepukwa. Fusidic acid, mupirocin, retapamulin zinafaa dhidi ya maambukizo ya S. Aureus na streptococcal yanayoathiriwa na methicillin. Clindamycin ni muhimu kwa maambukizi yanayoshukiwa methicillin-resistant S. Aureus. Trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole hufanya kazi dhidi ya S. Aureus inayokinza methicillin, lakini haitoshi kwa maambukizi ya streptococcal.
Impetigo, the most common bacterial skin infection in children aged two to five, comes in two main types: nonbullous (70% of cases) and bullous (30% of cases). Nonbullous impetigo is typically caused by Staphylococcus aureus or Streptococcus pyogenes. It's recognized by honey-colored crusts on the face and limbs and mainly targets the skin or can infect insect bites, eczema, or herpetic lesions. Bullous impetigo, caused solely by S. aureus, leads to large, flaccid bullae and often affects areas where skin rubs together. Both types usually clear up within two to three weeks without scarring, and complications are rare, with poststreptococcal glomerulonephritis being the most severe. Treatment involves topical antibiotics (mupirocin, retapamulin, fusidic acid). Oral antibiotics might be necessary for impetigo with large bullae or when topical treatment isn't feasible. While several oral antibiotics (amoxicillin/clavulanate, dicloxacillin, cephalexin, clindamycin, doxycycline, minocycline, trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole, macrolides) are options, penicillin isn't effective. Topical disinfectants aren't as good as antibiotics and should be avoided. Fusidic acid, mupirocin, retapamulin are effective against methicillin-susceptible S. aureus and streptococcal infections. Clindamycin is useful for suspected methicillin-resistant S. aureus infections. Trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole works against methicillin-resistant S. aureus, but isn't enough for streptococcal infection.

Impetigo ni maambukizi ya kawaida ya ngozi yanayosababishwa na bakteria fulani, huenea kwa urahisi kwa kugusana. Kawaida huonekana kama mabaka mekundu yaliyofunikwa na ukoko wa manjano na inaweza kusababisha kuwasha au maumivu. Ugonjwa huu ni wa kawaida kwa watoto wanaoishi katika maeneo yenye joto na yenye unyevunyevu. Inaweza kuonekana kama malengelenge au bila yao. Ingawa mara nyingi huathiri uso, inaweza kutokea mahali popote kwenye ngozi. Utambuzi hasa hutegemea dalili na jinsi inaonekana. Matibabu kwa kawaida hujumuisha viuavijasumu, vya juu na vya mdomo, pamoja na udhibiti wa dalili.
Impetigo is a common infection of the superficial layers of the epidermis that is highly contagious and most commonly caused by gram-positive bacteria. It most commonly presents as erythematous plaques with a yellow crust and may be itchy or painful. The lesions are highly contagious and spread easily. Impetigo is a disease of children who reside in hot humid climates. The infection may be bullous or nonbullous. The infection typically affects the face but can also occur in any other part of the body that has an abrasion, laceration, insect bite or other trauma. Diagnosis is typically based on the symptoms and clinical manifestations alone. Treatment involves topical and oral antibiotics and symptomatic care.

Impetigo kwa kawaida husababishwa na Staphylococcus aureus au Streptococcus pyogenes. Kwa mawasiliano inaweza kuenea karibu au kati ya watu. Katika kesi ya watoto, inaambukiza kwa ndugu zao.
Matibabu kwa kawaida hufanywa na viua vijasumu kama vile mupirocin au asidi ya fusidi. Antibiotics kwa mdomo, kama vile cefalexin, inaweza kutumika kama maeneo makubwa yameathirika.
Impetigo iliathiri takriban watu milioni 140 (2% ya idadi ya watu duniani) mwaka 2010. Inaweza kutokea katika umri wowote, lakini hutokea zaidi kwa watoto wadogo. Matatizo yanaweza kujumuisha seluliti au glomerulonephritis ya poststreptococcal.
○ Matibabu - Dawa za OTC
* Kwa sababu impetigo ni ugonjwa wa kuambukiza, mafuta ya steroid haipaswi kutumiwa. Ikiwa unatatizika kutofautisha vidonda vya impetigo kutoka kwa ukurutu, tafadhali chukua antihistamines ya OTC bila kutumia mafuta ya steroid.
#OTC antihistamine
* Tafadhali weka mafuta ya antibiotiki ya OTC kwenye kidonda.
#Bacitracin
#Polysporin
