Bunda Farhan n mamanya Rara, Ini aku ada Q-A n artikel ttg cacar monyet/ impetigo dr milis sehat..
Uci mamaKavin -------------------------- From: "Mirna S. Muska" Tentang anak saya, Dok, kemarin dsa nya curiga anak saya kena IMPETIGO dan bukan cacar air karena meskipun rashnya sekujur tubuh tetapi yg melenting kumpul hanya di bagian tertentu saja (di bagian paha). Di bagian lain ada sedikit-sedikit, malah di badan hampir tidak ada. Rash di tubuh muncul krn tertular dari sumbernya di bagian paha itu, itu terlihat dari bagian punggung yang tidak ada rash dan bagian perut yg cukup ada rash (krn dia pastinya lebih sering garuk2x perut dibanding punggung). Pengobatannya dikasih Antibiotika (anak saya 3 th 2 bulan, berat 22 kg): Lincomycin 250gr CTM 1.5 mg ==> dijadikan puyer sebanyak 15 bungkus, diminum sehari 3 x dan dihabiskan. Dsa saya itu bilang bhw penyakitnya sangat menular dan wajar terjadi di balita yg sudah bergaul dg dunia luar. Tetapi penyakitnya tidak berbahaya, dg AB bisa sembuh dalam 1 hr. Sekarang (2 hari sth dikasih AB)melentingnya sudah tidak menyebar lagi dan yg sebelumnya sudah kering (saya juga kasih obat merah Teh Ta Yao Gin untuk mengeringkan melentingnya). Dsa nya bilang dia juga sudah boleh sekolah. Bagaimana Dok pendapat Dokter mengenai pengobatan ini ? ------------------- Respon Dr Wati : Dear Mirna Maaf baru sempat balas sekarang dan inipun saya mesti pergi hiks hiks Kalau cacar monyet atau impetigo itu biasanya lebar2 dan seperti gosong alias merah bahkan tepinya merah tua lalu setelah 1 -2 hari seperti bekas terbakar gosong. Diameternya kira2 1 cm atau sedikit lebih besar dari itu. Biasanya bergerombol terbatas di area kecil tubuh jumlah nya biasanya 1 atau 2. Nah kalau deskripsinya Mirna kok menurut saya tdk cocok dengan impetigo Saya tdk lihat sih memang tapi impetigo itu benar2 seperti luka kesundut rokok Saya rasanya lebih memilih erupsi cacar air yg gak keluar semua karena anakmu sudah punya daya tahan tubuh jadi kalau saya, paling mandi airnya pakai dettol sedikiit, dan gak kasih antibiotikanya wati ----------------------- Semoga membantu ya. Mohon maaf gak bisa banyak inputan. Saya juga posting artikel dari AAP ttg impetigo ini. Lulu ================= http://www.medem.com/medlb/article_detaillb.cfm?article_ID= ZZZTXPXDEEC&sub_cat=24 Impetigo Impetigo is a contagious bacterial skin infection that often appears around the nose, mouth and ears. Most commonly, it is caused by either the streptococcus, which also is responsible for "strep" throat and scarlet fever, or the staphylococcus, or "staph," bacteria. If staph bacteria are to blame, the infection may cause blisters filled with clear fluid. These can break easily, leaving a raw glistening area that soon forms a scab with a honey-colored crust. By contrast, the strep bacteria usually are not associated with blisters, but they do cause crusts over larger sores and ulcers. Treatment of Impetigo Until your child can see the doctor, clean the rash well with soap and water. You may use a mild medicated soap, but don't rely on over-the-counter medications without consulting your pediatrician. Impetigo needs to be treated with antibiotics, but your pediatrician may wish to first determine which bacteria are causing the rash in order to know what specific medication to prescribe. To identify the bacteria, the doctor may break a blister or lift the crust and take a sample of the material there. If this shows the cause is strep bacteria, some form of penicillin probably will be prescribed, but if the rash is due to a staph infection, a different antibiotic may be used. In either case, make sure your child takes the medication for the full prescribed course or the impetigo could return. One other important point to keep in mind: Impetigo is contagious until the rash clears or until at least two days of antibiotics have been given and there is evidence of improvement. Therefore, your child should avoid close contact with other children during this period and you should avoid touching the rash. If you or other family members do come in contact with it, wash the exposed site thoroughly with soap and water. Also, keep the infected child's washcloths and towels separate from those of other family members. Preventing Impetigo The bacteria that cause impetigo thrive in breaks in the skin, so the best ways to prevent this rash are to keep your child's fingernails clipped and clean, and teach him not to scratch minor skin irritations. When he does have a scrape, cleanse it with soap and water and apply an antibiotic cream or ointment. Also, be careful not to use washcloths or towels that have been used by someone else who has an active skin infection. When impetigo is caused by strep bacteria, a rare but serious complication called glomerulonephritis can develop. This disease injures the kidney and may cause passage of blood in the urine and high blood pressure.
