We studied skin biopsy specimens from patients with allergic dermatoses associated with opisthorchiasis. Structural changes in the epidermis and derma were presented by degenerative and destructive changes in epitheliocytes with a pronounced membranolytic component, hemodynamic disturbances in the derma, disorganization of the connective tissue, and progressive fibrosis. Combination therapy including antihelmintic drug produced a positive effect, which was associated with induction of regenerative processes in basal epidermal cells, stabilization of the basal membrane, and normalization of the dermoepidermal junction. Our findings indicate that opisthorchiasis plays an important role in the pathogenesis of allergic dermatoses.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008854 Microscopy, Electron Microscopy using an electron beam, instead of light, to visualize the sample, thereby allowing much greater magnification. The interactions of ELECTRONS with specimens are used to provide information about the fine structure of that specimen. In TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY the reactions of the electrons that are transmitted through the specimen are imaged. In SCANNING ELECTRON MICROSCOPY an electron beam falls at a non-normal angle on the specimen and the image is derived from the reactions occurring above the plane of the specimen. Electron Microscopy

D002908 Chronic Disease Diseases which have one or more of the following characteristics: they are permanent, leave residual disability, are caused by nonreversible pathological alteration, require special training of the patient for rehabilitation, or may be expected to require a long period of supervision, observation, or care (Dictionary of Health Services Management, 2d ed). For epidemiological studies chronic disease often includes HEART DISEASES; STROKE; CANCER; and diabetes (DIABETES MELLITUS, TYPE 2).

D003872 Dermatitis Any inflammation of the skin. Dermatitides
D003876 Dermatitis, Atopic A chronic inflammatory genetically determined disease of the skin marked by increased ability to form reagin (IgE), with increased susceptibility to allergic rhinitis and asthma, and hereditary disposition to a lowered threshold for pruritus. It is manifested by lichenification, excoriation, and crusting, mainly on the flexural surfaces of the elbow and knee. In infants it is known as infantile eczema.

D012628 Dermatitis, Seborrheic A chronic inflammatory disease of the skin with unknown etiology. It is characterized by moderate ERYTHEMA, dry, moist, or greasy (SEBACEOUS GLAND) scaling and yellow crusted patches on various areas, especially the scalp, that exfoliate as dandruff. Seborrheic dermatitis is common in children and adolescents with HIV INFECTIONS. Seborrhea,Dermatitis Seborrheica,Seborrheic Dermatitis,Dermatitides, Seborrheic,Seborrheic Dermatitides
