[Seminar] Acne vulgaris
By MisterX28872 at 27 January, 2012, 9:00 pm
Acne is a chronic inflammatory disease of the pilosebaceous unit resulting from androgen-induced increased sebum production, altered keratinisation, inflammation, and bacterial colonisation of hair follicles on the face, neck, chest, and back by Propionibacterium acnes. Although early colonisation with P acnes and family history might have important roles in the disease, exactly what triggers acne and how treatment affects the course of the disease remain unclear. Other factors such as diet have been implicated, but not proven.

Conclusions:  In the absence of markedly better efficacy against the various cycline indications, the minocycline benefit/risk ratio was clearly lower than that of doxycycline, and possibly those of lymecycline and metacycline. In light of these findings, minocycline should no longer be considered first�line therapy for inflammatory skin disorders, especially acne. (Source: British Journal of Dermatology)

Authors: Dekio I, Rajendram D, Morita E, Gharbia S, Shah HN Abstract Propionibacterium acnes, a commensal of human skin, is also an opportunistic pathogen of common acne and other infectious diseases. However, it is still not obvious which strain is pathogenic for a certain infectious diseases, and investigations to characterise pathogenic strains using molecular typing methods such as multilocus sequence typing (MLST) using several housekeeping genes has been in progress

Conclusions  Our results support the hypothesis that the origin of facial red fluorescence is sebum. In patients with acne, analyses of the pattern and proportion of UV�induced red fluorescence can be useful for evaluating the sebum secretion and selecting efficient treatment modalities
