This study revealed maximum mucocutaneous lesions in the CD4 count range of 200-500. Nail changes accounted for the most common cutaneous manifestation with 53%, and pigmentation accounted for the most common oral manifestation with 39%. Mucocutaneous manifestations can arouse one to suspect the diagnosis of HIV infection in an otherwise healthy unwary patient. They can serve as a dependable marker of HIV disease.
Background: Dermatoglyphics/dactylography/dactyloscopy is the scientific study of epidermal ridge pattern on fingers, palm, and soles. The fingerprint is an impression of these friction skin ridges. It is used for personal identification, diseases condition, intelligence of individual and to solve disputed paternity. Aim: To identify the distribution patterns of fingerprints amongst medical students. Design: A cross-sectional study was done amongst 200 students out of which 100 were males and 100 were females. Materials and Methods: Finger prints were taken by using Ink Method by "Cummins and Midlo". The four type and their subtypes were noted. Results: The most common pattern obtained was loop and least one was arch. The ulnar loops were more than radial loops in loops subtypes. Among whorl patterns, spiral whorl followed by circular whorl was noted. In composite patterns, twinned loops and lateral pocket loops were higher in percentage than accidental and central pocket loops. In arch patterns, plain arch was higher than tented arch. Conclusion: In our study, Slighty different pattern was obtained as compared to worldwide.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
