Course description

In this interactive workshop, our aim is to let both residents and dermatologists walk away with fresh knowledge and inspiration with regard to the approach of STI. The workshop will consist of presentations with up-to-date knowledge on STI diagnosis and treatment options. Topics include syphilis, other ulcerative STI, and HIV-indicator diseases.
Management of infectious diseases more and more calls for knowledge on mechanisms of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and how to detect AMR in pathogens. Background information on mechanisms of AMR and (molecular) techniques for detection of AMR for practical use will be discussed.
Participants are encouraged to share local guidelines and experience, and individual cases for discussion.

  • STI-consultations in different cultures and countries (participant driven content)
  • Genital ulcers/diagnostic approach
  • Understanding mechanisms of anti-microbial resistance
  • How to recognise possible complications of syphilis

Allergology: skin environmental induced contact dermatitis and urticaria

Wed 17.09

14:15 - 17:30

Room W07

Course description

The workshop will focus on theoretical and practical aspects to correctly diagnose etiologically immunologic cutaneous disorders. These conditions include dermatitis / eczema (contact or atopic) and urticaria (acute or chronic) trigger by environmental stimuli and agents. Its clinical identification would need some specialized complementary tests in order to typify the responsible agent, assess severity, implement correct treatment and also preventive measures. For this is essential a training. How to identify and demonstrate type I and type IV hypersensitivity in cutaneous Immunol allergic diseases and how to make a correct differential diagnosis of inducible chronic urticarias is the main goal of this workshop.

  • Use of the provocation tests to distinguish the types of inducible urticarias and know differential diagnosis with other dermatological conditions
  • Perform the cutaneous provocation test according to the protocols, which are necessary for the identification of inducible urticaria and that allow the assessment of its severity by looking for useful thresholds in e.g., cold, solar, cholinergic and other forms of inducible urticaria
  • Assessment of disease control of the chronic inducible urticaria during the treatment by using an specific validated questionnaire
  • To decide when to prescribe and test patients, to distinguish the types of immediate contact skin reaction and differential diagnosis with other dermatological conditions
  • Decide and perform the provocation test, which is necessary to do the etiology diagnosis of immediate contact skin reaction such as contact urticaria or protein contact dermatitis, such as prick testing and others
  • Identify types of delayed contact dermatitis, eczematous or not, and differential diagnosis
  • Be familiar with indications and contraindications for patch testing
  • Know how to perform patch test, semi-open/open-test and ROAT and evaluate the relevance of a positive reaction
  • Consider preventive measures of a positive patch test

Different diagnostic tools to establish the vascular status of the patient will be discussed. Ankle-brachial index measurement will be performed by the participants themselves.

Practical tips to get to a systematic and efficient differential diagnosis pathway will be suggested. The variety of possible aetiologies of leg ulcers will be explained through rich iconography.

A theoretical and practical approach to compression therapy will be based not only on its benefits for venous ulcers but also on its usefulness in any leg ulcer when no contraindications exist.

The range of wound dressings that are commercially available will be explained, focusing on their components and indications. The concepts of wound infection continuum and antimicrobial stewardship will be explained. The technique of punch grafting as autologous skin grafting will be explained as interesting and efficient option to promote epithelialisation.

Healthcare Professional definition

  1. Important note to Healthcare and Non-Healthcare Professionals

    Access to the different areas and sessions of the Congress depends on the Healthcare Professional status.

    As a multidisciplinary audience will attend the EADV Congress, the EADV will assign different classes to Healthcare Professionals (HCPs) and Non-Healthcare Professionals (non-HCPs) to ensure compliance with the French Les Entreprises du Medicament (Leem) Rules of Professional Conduct (Dispositions Deontologiques Professionnelles (DDP)).

    Specifically, HCPs are classified into the following groups: medical doctors, nursing and midwifery professionals, dentists, pharmacists, professionals involved in rehabilitation, and technical paramedical professionals.

    Please read the description below to ensure that you (or your delegates) comply with the regulations in place.

EADV members are not automatically considered Healthcare Professionals

Please select the correct status (HCP or non-HCP) during registration.

  1. Definition
    The DDP code defines HCPs as follows:
    “Healthcare Professional: An individual who is a member of a healthcare profession regulated by the French Public Health Code, regardless of whether he or she is a civil servant or public official, or any other person practising in France who, in the course of his/her professional activities, may prescribe, purchase, dispense, recommend or administer a Medicinal Product. This definition does not apply to Healthcare Professionals employed by Companies, wholesalers or distributors, excluding those whose primary occupation is that of a practising Healthcare Professional.”

    Medical students
    are not considered Healthcare Professionals under the current guidelines and will be automatically classified as Non-Healthcare Professionals.
  1. Industry sessions
    Satellite Symposia and Industry Hub Sessions presenting data on the development, research, or other issues related to prescription medicine is restricted to Healthcare Professionals and Industry Participants as indicated by the Industry Session Organizer.
    All promotional materials and marketing aids related to these industry sessions should be strictly limited to HCPs.

    Industry Session organisers can limit participation to certain representative groups independently from the EADV recommendations if deemed imperative to achieving the session’s intended purpose. The organising company reserves the right to refuse single categories, particularly if they are not adequately related to the session’s objective and purpose.

    The industry session organiser is responsible for compliance with the session.
