INTRODUCTION
The largest & most complex of viruses known
Smallpox first appeared in China and the Far East
at least 2000 years ago.
The family encompasses a large group of agents,
morphologically similar,
share a common nucleoprotein
antigen
The group includes variola virus
etiologic agent of smallpox,
disease has most affected humans
throughout
the world

VIRUS REPLICATION
Variola virus :
At least 9 different
poxviruses cause disease
in humans, but variola
virus (VV) and vaccinia
are the best known. VV
strains are divided into
variola major (25-30%
fatalities) and variola
minor (same symptoms
but less than 1% death
rate).
"Variolation" = the
administration of material
from known smallpox
cases (hopefully variola
minor!!!) to protect
recipients - practiced for
at least 1000 years
(Chinese) but risky Jenner was nearly killed
by variolation in 1756!
IMMUNITY
An attack of smallpox complete
protection against re-infection
Vaccination with vaccinia induced
immunity against variola virus at
least 5 years & sometimes longer
Neonates of vaccinated, immune
mother receive maternal antibody
transplacentally, persists for
several months.
After that time, artificial immunity
can be produced by vaccination
Molluscum contagiosum
Molluscum contagiosum
virusis a specifically human
disease of worldwide distribution.
The incubation period varies from 1 week to 6
months.
The lesion begins as a small
papule and gradually
grows into a discrete,
waxy, smooth, dome-shaped,
pearly or
flesh-coloured nodule. Usually 1-20
lesions
but occasionally they may be present in
hundreds.
In children, the lesions are found on the
trunk and the
proximal extremities.
In adults they tend to occur on the trunk,
pubic area
and thighs. Individual lesions
persist for about 2
months, but the
disease usually lasts 6 to 9 months.
Constitutional disturbance is rare.
Molluscum contagiosum
The disease occurs virus
world-wide and is spread by
direct
contact or fomites. In general it tends to
occur in children. The disease by may transmitted
from skin
to skin after sexual intercourse.
A diagnosis can usually be made on clinical
appearance alone. The diagnosis can be
supported by EM. Unlike other poxviruses,
molluscum have not been
demonstrated to
grow in cell culture.
Infection is usually benign and painless, with
spontaneous recovery in most cases.
Where treatment is required for cosmetic
reasons,
various procedures are available
such as curretage,
cryotherapy with liquid
nitrogen, silver nitrate etc. which are routinely
used for the removal of warts.
SYMPTOMS
Molluscum contagiosum is a
superficial skin infection.
The virus invades the skin causing
the appearance of firm, fleshcolored, doughnut-shaped bumps,
about 2-5 mm in diameter.
Their sunken centers contain a
white, curdy-type material. The
bumps can occur almost anywhere
on the body including the buttocks
CAUSE
Molluscum contagiosum is caused by a
virus belonging to the poxvirus
family.
Close physical contact is usually
necessary for transmission; indirect
transmission
from shared towels,
swimming pools,
etc., may also be
responsible for infection.
The incubation period varies from
several
weeks to several months.
Shaving or scratching may cause the
infection to
spread.
COMPLICATIONS
If scratched, the bumps can
become
infected with bacteria.
DIAGNOSIS
The diagnosis is based on the
typical appearance of the bumps.
No diagnostic test for this virus is
available.
TREATMENT
Avoid shaving infected areas.
Treatment is done for aesthetic reasons and to
prevent spread of the virus.
The goal of treatment is to remove the soft center,
after which the bump goes away.
Your health care provider may use a curette (sharp,
spoon-shaped instrument) to remove
the centers.
Freezing the lesion with liquid nitrogen or nitrous
oxide is an alternative treatment.

Dr.dr.Hj.Efrida Warganegara, M.Kes.,
Sp.MK
Collection of specimens :
1. Skin scrapings :
clean the lesion of dirt or any topical medicines
scrape the outer edge of the lesion with a scalple
collect the scrapings in a clean container
2. Hair : remove hair from the infected site with clean forceps
collect in a clean container
3. Biopsied tissue :
placed in a sterile containers;
add steril water or saline to keep the tissue moist
do not freeze the tissue
4. Exudate or pus :
should be aspirated from an unopened abscess
placed in a steril tube and taken directly to the laboratory
never let the specimen dry
Collection of specimens :
5. Sputum :
collect sputum early in the morning as soon as the
patient awakens
before
brush
thoroughly
Collection of specimens :
6. Blood : should be collected aseptically
placed in the culture medium at the
patients bedside
7. Spinal fluid :
collect aseptically and place into a
sterile
tube
do not refrigerate spinal fluid
8. Urine : collect in asterile container
take directly to the laboratory
Processing of specimens :
Specimens should be processed as soon as
possible :
to ensure that the infecting fungus does not
die
to control contaminating organism
If the specimen cannot be promtly processed, it
should be refrigerated (except spinal fluid).
1. Sputum and bronchial washings :
examine specimen grossly for purulent or
caseous material or particles
prepare smears and wet mounts and
inoculate this material onto appropriate culture
media
Processing of specimens :
2. Spinal fluid, urine and pleural fluid :
concentrate the specimen by centrifugation
make a wet preparation of the sediment and
inoculate
the appropriate media with the remaining
sediment
3. Tissue taken by surgical procedure :
remove any caseous or purulent material and place
onto the appropriate media & prepare wet
preparation
& smears
cut the tissue into small pieces with sterile scissors
and grind the tissue with a sterile mortar and
pestle
transfer the homogenized tissue to appropriate
media
Processing of specimens :
Direct microscopic examination :
is an essential step in diagnosing a fungal
disease
often provide a rapid, tentative diagnosis
(without having
to wait for the culture to
grow)
culture must always be made to correctly
identify the fungus
most mycological specimens are examined in
the fluid state (wet mount), include a KOH
(or NaOH) preparation, India ink. lactophenolcotton blue
Processing of specimens :
Culture media for isolation and identification :
The proper selection of isolation media is critical to
obtaining a laboratory diagnosis of a fungal disease. If the
wrong medium is used, the fungus causing disease may
not grow.
Culture media routinely used may be divided into two main
primary isolation media (non-selective or selective --->
may contain antibiotics to inhibit rapidly growing
fungi)
differential media; are used to identify selected genera
or
or species (by stimulation of characteristic growth /
sporulation; or by the production of physiological
reaction on these media)
Processing of specimens :
Culture media for isolation and identification :
the isolation medium selection depends upon :
the type of specimen (heavily
contaminated,
or
sterile)
the suspected etiological agent
A non selective medium like Sabouraud dextrose
agar
(SDA) should be routinely used
because it will support the growth of almost all
the medically important fungi.
However, without the addition of selective agent
(such as chloramphenicol and
cycloheximide)
this medium is practically
useless.
Processing of specimens :
Temparature of incubation :
is important in the primary
isolation
of fungi
may be room temparature (25 27C) but
prefarably 30C
can act as a selective factor
(incubation at 45C will inhibit most
fungi and bacteria, but not
Aspergillus fumigatus)
Processing of specimes :
Primary isolation media :
non-selective : Sabouraud dextrose agar
Brain heart infusion agar
Blood agar base
selective : Sabouraud dextrose agar with
antibiotics )*
Brain heart infusion agar or antibiotics
and
Blood base agar cycloheximide

PITYRIASIS VERSICOLOR
the term versicolor is particularly
appropriate, since
color of the lesion
varies according to the normal skin
pigmentation, exposure to sunlight &
severity of infection
lesion occur more often on the upper body,
face, neck, arm
the reason for a change from normal flora
status to
a pathogenic agent are not
clear
PITYRIASIS VERSICOLOR
Laboratory diagnosis :
under uv ligth (Woods lamp) ---> Fluoresence : yellow
wet mount of skin scales : lesion contain short typical
elements & spherical cells (yeast) & this
observation
is virtually pathognomonic (spaghetti &
meat ball
appearance)
culture identification is not diagnostic (may be positive
from noninfective person); but the organism can be
cultured onto SDA (Sabouraud dextrose agar)
covered
with olive oil
Treatment : selenium sulfide, sodium thiosulfate,
miconazole; but recurrent is frequent.
CUTANEUS MYCOSES
Dermatophytosis :
may involve the skin, hair, nails (parts of the body which
contain keratin)
may be acquired from animal (zoophilic), soil (geophilic), in
which lesion are quite inflammatory & may heal
spontaneously
may be acquired from human (anthropophilic); usually less
inflamation but may be chronic

Clinical features : Chronic intertriginous tine pedis :
results in white mascerated tissue bet ween the toes
(the most common form)
is treated with tolnaftate or imidazole & by keeping the
feet dry (by using alumunium chroride) & aerated; if
infections persist, griseofulvin or ketoconazole is used.
Clinical features : chronic dry scally tinea pedis :
results in hyperkeratotic scales on the heel, sole, or
side of the feet; also known as mocasin foot
is treated with hyperkeratotic agent such as whitfield
ointment & griseofulvin
DERMATOPHYTES
TINEA PEDIS
Clinical features : vesicular tinea pedis
is characterized by vesicles & vesiculopustules
permanganate or Burrows solution is used to open vesicle;
dermatophytid reactions my occur;
griseofulvin is the treatment of choice
TINEA MANUM :
is chronic, unilateral fungal infection of the hand, caused
by T.rubrum, T.mentagrophytes, E.floccosum
is characterized by diffuse hyperkeratotic; exfoliative,
vesicular;
treatment = tinea pedis

DERMATOPHYTES
Laboartory diagnosis :
species identification requires culture
culture identification is based primarily on the
appearance of the asexual reproductive conidia or the
specific hyphae
while all of these species grow as molds, they have
distinctive features
the reverse of colonies of some species may be
pigmented (red, yellow) and the tops may be fluffy,
velvety; white or pigmented
this characteristics combine with the microscopic
morphology generally permit an identification

CANDIDIASIS
Laboratory diagnosis :
C. albicans be identified by :
* germ tube test -- yeast germination in serum at
370C
* culture on corn-meal-agar -- reveals chlamydospres
* culture on Eosin-methylen-blue-agar : reveals
spider colony
* fermentation test of : glucose, lactose, maltose,
sacharose
serologic : high levels of Candida precipitins or
antigens
