“…In an individual in a state of anergy, such as lepromatous leprosy and anergic cutaneous leishmaniasis patients, the cytokines produced by macrophages act on the Th2 subpopulation, which produces IL-4, IL-5, IL-10, and IL-13, which suppress macrophage activity and stimulate B lymphocytes and mast cells, thus configuring the humoral immune response. 5 - 7 Thus, individuals with a Th1 immune profile are more resistant to infection because they present a more intense and effective cellular immune response, whereas individuals with Th2 immune profile are more susceptible. 5 - 7 …”

Brazil is a country with a high prevalence of infectious diseases such as leprosy and leishmaniasis. However, coinfection of these diseases is still poorly understood. We report a case of a patient who presented with lepromatous leprosy and cutaneous-mucosal leishmaniasis at the same period. After clinical, laboratory, and histopathological diagnosis, the treatment was introduced and the patient showed important clinical improvement. He was followed in our outpatient clinic. Both pathologies play an important role in the immune system. Depending on the immune response profile of the host, diseases may present themselves in different ways. In this case, the patient showed a divergent immune response for each disease. We hypothesized that this response is specific for each pathogen.

“…Esse processo agressivo pode ser súbito, porém geralmente decorre de um quadro de evolução da psoríase vulgar. Visto seu caráter sistêmico, os pacientes devem receber tratamentos que minimizem os riscos de evolução para condições potencialmente fatais, como insuficiência cardíaca e infecções respiratórias (pneumonias) (BELDA et al, 2018). A psoríase invertida (Figura 2.4) acomete as regiões de dobras e flexuras, como axilas, umbigo, fossas poplíteas, dobras antecubitais e inguinais.…”

BackgroundBrazil does not have a rosacea-specific quality of life questionnaire.Objectivestranslation into Brazilian Portuguese, development of cultural adaptation, and validation of the RosaQoL disease-specific questionnaire for rosacea of any subtype.Methodsthe recommended procedures for translation, cultural adaptation, and validation of an instrument were followed, and three interviews were conducted: baseline; seven to fourteen days after baseline; and at four to six months. The questionnaire was analyzed (with 95% confidence interval) for reliability by internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha); testretest reproducibility (intraclass correlation coefficient); responsiveness and validity.Resultsterms of the original questionnaire were replaced to guarantee cultural and semantic equivalence. Validity was demonstrated by expressive correlations between the RosaQoL domains and by significance in the Jonckheere-Terpstra test (p≤0.05) between the scores of the RosaQoL domains and the participants' self-perception in relation to the disease. Reliability was acceptable; alpha coefficient ranged from 0.923 to 0.916 in the first and second applications of the RosaQoL, respectively, and the Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC) ranged from 0.671 to 0.863 in the seven- to fourteen-day period. Responsiveness, measured by grouping participants into three categories based on self-perception of rosacea (better, worse or unchanged), was found for the “better” response group (p≤0.05).Study limitationssmall sample; limited variety of screening sources.ConclusionsRosaQoL-BR (Brazil) was demonstrated as a reliable, valid and responsive questionnaire, with limitations, for individuals with any subtype of rosacea.
