Item Clinical and Cytologic Features of Antibiotic-Resistant Acute Paronychia(2014) Durdu, Murat; Ruocco, Vincenzo; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-1247-3932; 24355264; H-9068-2019Background: Acute paronychia usually is treated as a bacterial infection, but antibiotic-resistant acute paronychia may be caused by other infectious and noninfectious problems. Objective: We sought to describe the clinical, etiologic, cytologic, and therapeutic features of antibiotic-resistant acute paronychia. Methods: A retrospective review of medical records and cytology was performed in 58 patients (age, 1 month-91 years; 36 children and adolescents [62%] and 22 adults [38%]) who had antibiotic-resistant acute paronychias. Results: Causes of paronychia included bacteria (25 patients [43%]), viruses (21 patients [36%]), fungi (5 patients [9%]), drugs (3 patients [5%]), pemphigus vulgaris (3 patients [5%]), and trauma (1 patient [2%]). Diagnostic cytologic findings were noted in 54 patients (93%); no diagnostic cytologic findings were present with drug-induced (3 patients) or traumatic (1 patient) paronychia. The most common predisposing factors were the habits of finger-or thumb-sucking (14 patients [24%]) and nail-biting (11 patients [19%]). Complications included id reaction with erythema multiforme in 3 patients (5%). Limitations: Limitations include retrospective study design from 1 treatment center. Conclusion: Antibiotic-resistant acute paronychia may be infectious or noninfectious. Cytologic examination with Tzanck smear may be useful diagnostically and may prevent unnecessary use of antibiotics and surgical drainage.Item Cytology in the Diagnosis of Dermatological Diseases: Tzanck Smear(2016) Durdu, Murat; 0000-0003-1247-3932; H-9068-2019Cytology is a simple, quick, reliable, and inexpensive diagnostic method based on the investigation of characteristic features of individual cells. In this diagnosis method, cellular materials are obtained by scraping method, slit-skin smear, touch smear or fine needle aspiration method according to the types of skin lesions. Obtained materials are immediately spread onto microscopic slide as a thin layer. Slides were stained with various cytological dyes, and examined under the light microscope. Until today, dermatological cytology has been used in the diagnosis of various erosive-vesiculobullous, pustular, granulomatous, and tumoral skin lesions. In this review article, the sampling methods for dermatological cytology were described, and the cytologic findings of skin diseases which could provide a rapid diagnosis were discussed.Item The Role of Diagnostic Approaches to Determine the Treatment(2018) Durdu, Murat; Eskiocak, Ali Haydar; 0000-0003-1247-3932The diagnosis of dermatological diseases requires cytological, dermatoscopic, histopathological examinations, some laboratory tests, and radiology imaging in addition to clinical examination. However, these tests are quite important, not only in time of diagnosis, but also in patient follow ups and determining the therapeutic approach. In this article, the diagnostic tests are reviewed that may help to dermatologists in detecting the treatment of dermatological diseases.
