“…The cross reactivity between the fungal cell wall protein and the isoantign of ABO blood groups is presumed to be the cause for the selective susceptibility of certain blood group subjects to fungal diseases. [28]…”

The article discuss in detail about the prevalence, pathophysiology, clinical manifestations of dandruff including the etio-pathology. The article also discusses in detail about various treatment methods available for dandruff. The status of dandruff being amphibious – a disease/disorder, and relatively less medical intervention is sought after for the treatment, dandruff is the most commercially exploited skin and scalp disorder/disease by personal care industries.

“…9 Grupos sanguíneos são antígenos de superfície celular expressos segundo padrões de herança bem determinados e estão associados à incidência ou ao prognóstico de diversas doenças, como carcinoma gástrico, tumor pulmonar de pequenas células, carcinoma de esôfago, susceptibilidade a dermatofitoses, líquen plano, dermatite seborreica, lúpus eritematoso sistêmico, câncer de mama, entre outras. [9][10][11][12][13][14] Há mais de 30 proteínas e açúcares reconhecidos como marcadores de grupos sanguíneos, entretanto os mais antigênicos compreendem aqueles pertencentes ao sistema ABO e Rh(D), segregados independentemente em genes situados nos cromossomos 9q34 e 1p36. [13][14][15][16] Os autores pretendem estudar a expressão dos grupos sanguíneos (ABO e Rh) em pacientes portadores de LECD.…”

Resumo: FUNDAMENTOS: Lesão discoide é a manifestação cutânea mais comum do lúpus eritematoso, e formas cutâneas crônicas apresentam características imunológicas próprias, direcionadas ao polo Th1. Diversas doenças possuem associação com grupos sanguíneos, o que não foi ainda estudado no lúpus discoide. OBJETIVO: Investigar a associação entre tipos sanguíneos (ABO e Rh) e lúpus eritematoso discoide. MÉTODOS: Estudo prospectivo tipo transversal envolvendo tipagem sanguínea ABO e Rh, inquérito de dados clínicos e dosagem de FAN e C4 de portadores de lúpus discoide sem critérios de doença sistêmica, atendidos em hospital universitário. RESULTADOS: Foram incluídos no estudo 69 pacientes, sendo 71,0% do sexo feminino (p < 0,01). A idade do surgimento da doença foi de 32,8 ± 13,1 anos. Formas disseminadas ocorreram em 47,8%; história de tabagismo foi verificada em 59,4%; FAN > 1:160, em 31,9%; e níveis baixos de C4, em 8,7%. Não houve diferença significativa entre as frequências dos grupos sanguíneos dos pacientes e da população local; entretanto, o grupo A foi associado às formas disseminadas da doença (OR 4,1 e p < 0,05). CONCLUSÕES: Grupos sanguíneos de pacientes com lúpus discoide apresentam frequência semelhante à da população; porém, formas clínicas disseminadas foram mais prevalentes entre portadores do grupo A. Palavras-chave: Epidemiologia; Lúpus eritematoso discoide; Sistema do grupo sanguíneo ABO; Sistema do grupo sanguíneo Rh-Hr Abstract: BACKGROUND: Discoid lesion is the commonest cutaneous finding in lupus erythematosus and chronic types have their own immunological features, with Th1 inflammation profile. Although many diseases have association with blood-group systems, this fact was not enlightened in discoid lupus erythematosus. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the association between blood groups (ABO and Rh) and discoid lupus erythematosus. METHODS: A prospective cross-sectional study assessing clinical information, blood group systems (ABO and Rh), FAN and C4 serum levels from discoid lupus patients without characteristics of systemic disease, was carried out at a clinic from a Brazilian university hospital. RESULTS: Sixty-nine patients were enrolled in the study, 71.0% were females (p<0.01), mean age of disease onset was 32.8±13.1 years, and disseminate form occurred in 47.8%, smoking was related in 59.4%, FAN>1:160 in 31.9%, and low levels of C4 in 8.7%. There was no significant difference between the frequency of blood groups from discoid lupus patients and local population, however, blood group A was associated to disseminate forms of the disease (OR 4.1 and p <0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Discoid lupus erythematosus patients with ABO and Rh blood groups exhibit similar frequencies as in the general population; nevertheless, disseminate clinical forms were more prevalent among group A patients.

“…12 But the study results of Neering et al and from the study done in our hospital by Selvi et al, no significant association with specific blood group and increased incidence of fungal infection has been proved. 13,14 The blood group distribution in our study showed 37.3% of patients belonging to blood group O +ve, 32% patients belonging to B+ve group, 21.3% patients belonging to A +ve and rest 9.4% to other groups.…”

Background: To study the varied clinical presentations, the predominant etiological agent and incidence of tinea pedis in relation to sex, age group, occupation and aggravating factors among the patients. Also an attempt was made to know if any significant association is there with blood group and the occurrence of tinea pedis.Methods: A study was conducted among 75 patients who attended Mycology clinic in tertiary care hospital. Detailed history was taken along with complete physical examination and local examination. All cases of tinea pedis were first confirmed by KOH examination. Isolation of the agent was done in Modified SDA medium with cycloheximide. Differentiation of the species was done by culturing on corn meal agar.Results: Prevalence of tinea pedis infection was more common among males with male: female ratio of 2.26:1. The 21- 30 years age group was commonly affected by tinea pedis. The distribution of blood groups reflected the general distribution pattern of the population. Culture positivity was recorded in 81.3%.Conclusions: More incidences of bilateral involvement and recurrent episodes were noted among the shoe wearing population than in the non-shoe wearing population. Any patients diagnosed with tinea pedis should be screened for diabetes as implied by the outcome of the study. Infected toe nails may be the site of primary infection and fungal disease can spread to other body areas from these primary sites. Trichophyton rubrum happened to be the chief isolate.
