Introdução: As infeções fúngicas superficiais são as dermatoses infeciosas mais frequentes e a sua incidência continua a aumentar. Os dermatófitos são os principais agentes causais apresentando, contudo, uma distribuição geográfica variável.Material e Métodos: O presente estudo teve como objetivo a caracterização epidemiológica das infeções fúngicas superficiais diagnosticadas nos Serviços/Unidades de Dermatologia pertencentes ao Serviço Nacional de Saúde Português entre janeiro de 2014 e dezembro 2016 através da análise retrospetiva dos resultados das culturas realizadas durante esse período.Resultados: Foram estudados 2375 isolamentos, pertencentes a 2319 doentes. O dermatófito mais frequentemente isolado foi o Trichophyton rubrum (53,6%), tendo sido o principal agente causal da tinha da pele glabra (52,4%) e das onicomicoses (51,1%). Relativamente às tinhas do couro cabeludo, globalmente o Microsporum audouinii foi o agente mais prevalente (42,6%), seguido do Trichophyton soudanense (22,1%). Enquanto na área metropolitana de Lisboa estes dermatófitos foram os principais agentes de tinha do couro cabeludo, nas regiões Norte e Centro o agente mais frequente foi o Microsporum canis (58,5%). Os fungos leveduriformes foram os principais responsáveis pelas onicomicoses das mãos (76,7%).Conclusão: Os resultados deste estudo estão globalmente concordantes com a literatura científica. O Trichophyton rubrum apresenta-se como o dermatófito mais frequentemente isolado em cultura. Na tinha do couro cabeludo, na área metropolitana de Lisboa, as espécies antropofílicas de importação assumem particular destaque.
Pemphigoid gestationis (PG), also known as , is a rare autoimmune blistering disease specific to pregnancy, which usually presents in the second or third trimesters and, in 15%-25% of cases, during the immediate postpartum period.Although the ethiopathogeny of PG is not fully clarified, most patients develop antibodies against a 180 kDa transmembrane hemidesmosomal protein (BP180; BPAG2; collagen XVII). PG has a strong association with human leucocyte antigens DR3 and DR4.We report a case of a 29-year-old female patient with PG successfully treated with intravenous immunoglobulin.
Background and aims Given the risk of significant medical and behavioural morbidity, it is crucial to evaluate sleep disorders in clinical practice. We aimed to evaluate sleep habits and disturbances in pre-scholar and scholar children from a Northern region of Portugal and compare the results with other studies. Methods Children's Sleep Habits Questionnaire Portuguese version (CSHQ-PT) was applied to parents of healthy children (4-10 years old) attending daycare centres and elementary schools in our city. Results 107 pre-scholar and 122 scholar children were included (n = 229), mean age 6,3 years. 54,1% were boys. Prevalence of co-sleeping was 37,3%. Mean bedtime was 9:41 pm and mean wake-up time was 7:20 am. Mean sleep duration was 9.7 h, being longer in pre-scholars (p < 0.001).75,7% of children suffered from global sleep disturbances and the mean CSHQ-PT total score was 47,05, being higher in pre-scholars (p = 0,001). Pre-scholars also scored higher on bedtime resistance (p < 0,001), sleep onset delay (p = 0,046) and night wakening (p < 0,001). Bedtime resistance and sleep anxiety scores were higher in only children (p = 0.003). The prevalence of enuresis was 7,7%, restless sleep 52,7% and bruxism 22,2%. Pre-scholars scored higher in night terrors (p = 0,04). It was hard to get the children out of bed in 56.7% and the children seemed tired during the day in 22.9%. Conclusion Included children tend to fall asleep later and sleep less than in other studies. A high prevalence of sleep disturbances was found, specially in pre-scholar children, which claims a different approach of this subject in our clinical practice.
