Erythema Multiforme
Erythema multiforme is a skin disorder resulting from an allergic reaction. Erythema multiforme is a type of hypersensitivity (allergic) reaction that occurs in response to medications, infections or illness. Medications associated with erythema multiforme include sulfonamides, penicillins, barbiturates and phenytoin. Associated infections include herpes simplex and mycoplasma infections.
The exact cause is unknown. The disorder involves damage to the blood vessels of the skin with subsequent damage to skin tissues. Approximately 90% of erythema multiforme cases are associated with herpes simplex or mycoplasma infections. The disorder occurs primarily in children and young adults.
Erythema multiforme becomes noticeable with a classic skin lesion, with or without systemic (whole body) symptoms. In Stevens-Johnson syndrome, the systemic symptoms are severe and the lesions are extensive, involving multiple body areas, especially mucous membranes. Toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN syndrome, or Lyell’s syndrome) involves multiple large blisters (bullae) that coalesce, followed by sloughing of all or most of the skin and mucous membranes.
Symptoms
- Multiple skin lesions : With sudden onset, which may occur and that may spread and that may appear as nodule, papule, or macule
- Central lesion surrounded by concentric rings of paleness and redness, also called “target”, “iris”, or “bull’s eye”
- May have vesicles and bullae (blisters of various sizes), Located on the legs, arms, palms, hands, or feet , May involve the face or lips, Trunk is usually not involved and Usually symmetrical
- Itching of the skin may be present
- Fever
- General ill feeling
- Joint aches
Additional symptoms that may be associated with this disease
- Vision abnormalities
- Dry eyes
- Bloodshot eyes
- Eye pain
- Eye burning, itching and discharge
- Mouth sores
Role of Noni
Noni has a broad range of health benefits for various diseases and complaints.
Noni contains all the vitamins like vitamin A , vitamin B complex, vitamin C and vitamin E. It contains all the trace minerals. A number of major components are identified in the Noni plant like scopoletin, octoanoic acid, potassium, vitamin C, terpenoids, alkaloids, anthraquinones (such as nordamnacanthal, morindone, rubiadin and rubiadin-1-methyl ether, anthraquinone glycoside), sitosterol, carotene, vitamin A, flavone glycosides, linoleic acid, Alizarin, amino acids, acubin, L-asperuloside, caproic acid, caprylic acid, ursolic acid, rutin and a putative proxeronine.
How Noni works ?
The natural integrity of Noni is only part of the reason for its effectiveness. There are two additional reasons contributing to Noni’s effectiveness for a broad range of conditions :
1. Unique Combination of Substances
2. Synergy of its Substances
3. Immunological activity : Noni acts as an immune modulator. Asahina found that Noni at various concentrations inhibited production of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF), an endogenous tumor promotor. Hirazumi found that noni-ppt contains a polysaccharide-rich substance. Noni-ppt may suppress tumor growth through activation of host immune system. Noni-ppt was also capable of stimulating release of several mediators from murine effector cells, including TNF-, interleukin-1beta (IL-1), IL-10, IL-12, inter feron-gamma (IFN-) and nitric oxide (NO).
The thymus is an important immune organ in the body, which generates T cells involved in the aging process and cellular immune functions. Noni enhances immune function by stimulating thymus growth and thus affecting anti-aging and anticancer activities and protecting people from other degenerative disease.
