Tinea corporis usually presents as annular lesions with a distinct peripheral scaling, rather than the diffuse
induration of nummular dermatitis.
The patients were followed up weekly and those with no sign of
induration during the follow-up were regarded as having complete resolution.
48-72 h after the test was performed and the presence of
induration was checked.
Response to treatment was graded as complete cure (complete re-epithelization of lesion, lack of
induration and size reduction more than 75%), partial cure (partial improvement in erythema,
induration and size reduction 50% to 75%), and non-cure (no significant improvement in lesion and size reduction less than 50%).
A score of 0 to 4 is given for the intensity of erythema, scaling and
induration to rate the extent of severity of the disease5.
In total, 132 of 135 (98%) health care staff members were evaluated; seven (5%), including the original six NICU staff members identified through annual tuberculosis screening, had a newly positive TST result (
induration range = 10-20 mm), and all had performed at least one aerosol-generating procedure (e.g., intubation or open suctioning) on the index infant.
Hence, two samples were prepared in this study, that is, the compressed
induration of the expandable material with high water content and the compressed
induration after grouting the expandable material with high water content prepared according to the distribution characteristics of the slurry in the borehole and coal mass into the broken coal mass (as shown in Figure 4).
Scleredema diabeticorum (SD) is a rare condition of unknown pathogenesis and is characterized by nonpitting thickening and
induration of the skin [7, 8].
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines, an
induration of [greater than or equal to] 5 mm is classified as positive in the following groups: patients with HIV infection, patients who had recent close contact with TB infected people, patients who have undergone organ transplants or who are receiving immunosuppression therapy (e.g., TNF-i, methotrexate, prednisone, and cyclosporine), and patients whose chest radiographs show fibrotic changes consistent with previous TB [4].
Patients may present with symptoms similar to those seen in necrotizing fasciitis and cellulitis, such as fever, pain, erythema, edema, and
induration localized to a particular region [3], thus making diagnosis difficult.
When the patient presented to the urology clinic the following week, he was found to have worsening tenderness and
induration of his penis with phimosis and purulent drainage.
Test interpretation depends on the patient's risk category, with either a 5-mm, 10-mm, or 15-mm
induration being classified as a positive result (table 27).
Induration of more than 10 mm was suggestive of infection with mycobacterium tuberculosis.
President Bashir arrived here Friday for the ceremony marking the
induration of President Kagame for a third term in office.
Positive reactions to these tests include the determining of
induration (palpable swelling) within a 48 to 72-hour period.
