    Cytology in the Diagnosis of Dermatological Diseases: Tzanck Smear
    (2016) Durdu, Murat; 0000-0003-1247-3932; H-9068-2019
    Cytology 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.

    Quick cytological diagnosis and rapid improvement with imiquimod cream in a case of orf infection
    (2016) Durdu, Murat
    Orf is a viral infection caused by the orf virus known to be the largest DNA virus that belongs to the Parapoxvirus genus. The disease occurs 3-7 days after contact with sheep and goats. Lesions usually resolve spontaneously within 6-8 weeks. On the other hands, infection may show progressive course in immunosuppressed patients. It has been reported that imiquimod cream can provide rapid improvement. We present the case report of a 48-year-old woman who developed erythematous nodular lesions two days after contact with animal. Tzanck smear examination was performed from nodular lesion, and cytoplasmic inclusions (Guarnieri bodies) were detected. The lesion rapidly resolved with topical imiquimod cream.
