    Development of Scabies During Treatment for Mycosis Fungoides: Dermatoscopic Diagnosis
    (Galenos Yayincilik, 2012) Aykol, Caner; Mevlitoglu, Inci; Tol, Huseyin; Tavli, Yeliz Ucar
    Scabies is a cutaneous infestation caused by Sarcoptes scabiei var. hominis and characterized by severe and generalized pruritus. A clinical diagnosis can be made when a burrow is detected at a typical predilection site and the lesion is severely itching. Scabies which occurs in the elderly and also in patients who are immunosuppressed, the lesions are very variable and clinical diagnosis may be difficult. In such cases, dermatoscopy is a simple and rapid diagnostic tool for the diagnosis of scabies with high sensitivity and specificity. Here, a 61-year-old woman who was diagnosed as scabies with dermatoscopic findings and already had mycosis fungoides is reported.

    Mean platelet volume, neutrophil to lyphocyte ratio and platelet to lymphocyte ratio in psoriasis
    (Deri Zuhrevi Hastaliklar Dernegi, 2015) Unal, Mehmet; Kucuk, Adem; Unal, Gulbahar Urun; Balevi, Sukru; Tol, Huseyin; Aykol, Caner; Uyar, Mehmet
    Background and Design: It has been demonstrated that neutrophil and platelet count to lymphocyte ratio may be a useful predictor of systemic inflammation and with prognosis of many cardiovascular diseases, malignancies and chronic inflammatory diseases. To the best of our knowledge, there are no studies investigating neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet/lymphocyte ratio (PLR) and mean platelet volume (MPV) values together within the context of psoriasis, a chronic and systemic inflammatory disease. Materials and Methods: In this study, we evaluated 320 patients with psoriasis vulgaris followed up in our outpatient clinic and 200 healthy controls. Results: Leukocyte, neutrophil, platelet, MPV, NLR and PLR values in patients with psoriasis were significantly higher, and lymphocyte count, on the other hand, was significantly lower than in controls. No significant difference was found in MPV, NLR and PLR values between patients with or without a family history and nail and joint involvement. Conclusions: These parameters may be used as cheap and easily applicable methods in predicting which psoriasis patients are under the risk of cardiovascular disease. PLR is a better inflammation marker than MPV and NLR in patients with psoriasis. We did not observe a significant relationship of MPV, NLR and PLR values with disease characteristics, such as severity of disease, joint involvement, nail involvement and duration of disease in patients with psoriasis. Therefore, we believe that there is little information on the extent to which MPV, NLR and PLR might be useful regarding these characteristics.
