Abstract

Bacground and Design: The surface of a dermoscope can easily be contaminated with microorganisms due to contact with patient's skin and may lead to infections. MATERIAL-METHOD: To investigate the efficacy of an alcohol-based gel comparing with immersion oil for preventing contamination. One hundred cutaneous lesions were evaluated with a hand-held dermoscope. The procedure was performed by using an alcohol-based gel on the glass surface in half of the patients, and immersion oil was applied in the remainder. Specimens from the glass surface were taken for bacteriological cultures just after the dermoscopic examinations. RESULTS: There were bacterial growth in 9 (18%) in the alcohol-based group and in 22 (44%) in the immersion oil group (p

Özet

Giriş ve AMAÇ: Dermoskopun cam yüzeyi hastanın derisi ile temas etmektedir. Böylece kontamine olan dermoskop yüzeyi, bir sonraki dermoskopi hastasında infeksiyona yol açabilir. Bu çalışmada, dermoskopi esnasında immersiyon yağı yerine alkol bazlı jel kullanımının hasta derisinden dermoskop yüzeyine bakteriyel bulaşı engelleyip engellemediği araştırılmıştır. GEREÇ-YÖNTEM: Elli deri lezyonuna dermoskopi yapılırken dermoskopun cam yüzeyine alkol bazlı jel sürüldü. Diğer elli deri lezyonuna ise klasik immersiyon yağı sürüldükten sonra dermoskopi yapıldı. Her iki grupta da dermoskopiden hemen sonra dermoskop yüzeyinden rutin bakteriyolojik kültürler alındı. SONUÇ: Alkol bazlı jel kullanılan grupta 9 (%18), immersiyon yağı kullanılan grupta 22 (%44) aerobik bakteri üremesi saptandı (p
