6 NTDs = Neglected Tropical Diseases SIMPLE SKIN CARE IMPROVING QUALITY OF LIFE IN NTDS
7 WHO List June 2017 Neglected tropical diseases 20 categories Buruli ulcer Chagas disease Dengue and Chikungunya - Dracunculiasis (guinea-worm disease) Echinococcosis Foodborne trematodiases Human African trypanosomiasis (sleeping sickness) Leishmaniasis Leprosy (Hansen's disease) LymphaPc filariasis Mycetoma, chromoblastomycosis and other deep mycoses Onchocerciasis (river blindness) Rabies Scabies and other ectoparasites Schistosomiasis Soil-transmi^ed helminthiases Snakebite envenoming Taeniasis/CysPcercosis Trachoma Yaws (Endemic treponematoses)
8 What is simple skin care Washing +- anpseppc Moisturising Simple compression/protecpon Sock Bandage Foot protecpon Boot/ shoe/custom made? ElevaPon at night +- breathing/yoga
9 Very simple materials soap disinfectant moisturiser with anpfungal
10 Simple Management of Lymphoedematous leg Washing daily washing with soap & water & if possible, anpseppc reduces the bacterial load
11 Simple Management of Lymphoedematous leg Emollient moisturising aber washing improves the barrier funcpon sobens the skin prevents cracking reducing the risk of infecpon
12 Simple Management of Lymphoedematous leg ElevaNon of the limb to above hip night Breathing and exercise (yoga?) Improves lymphapc drainage
13 Simple Management of Lymphoedematous leg Compression bandages and hosiery (stockings or socks) Manual lymphanc drainage light superficial massage can greatly enhance lymphapc drainage. Surgery Simple shave excision of hard nodules with secondary intenpon healing works well, even in a resource-poor seeng. Footwear safeguarding the foot and limb robust and protecpve shoes providing protecpon from injury and infecpon ProtecPon from soil (podo)
14 What are we trying to help? Podoconiosis LymphaPc filariasis Kaposi s sarcoma Lepromatous limb DiabePc foot
15 What are we trying to achieve? ReducPon in disease burden Improvement in life quality Lymphoedemas (podoconiosis, lymphapc filariasis & KS) ReducPon in limb size Stop acute episodes of cellulips ADLA ReducPon in spgmapsapon Leprosy PreservaPon of funcponing limb ReducPon in ulcerapon in the neuropathic foot
16 Acute episodes in the swollen limb? CelluliPs acute spreading inflammapon of the skin More common in lymphoedema as the swollen limb is relapvely immunosupressed Swelling leads to dryness and cracking and entry points for infecpon In lymphoedema a^acks are variable Each a^ack further damages lymphapcs and worsens lymphoedema Also known as acute episodes or adenolymphangips ADLA
