COVID-19 has spread throughout the world rapidly, including in Indonesia. During this pandemic, there are differences in the number and types of patient cases who attend the dermatology and venereology outpatient clinic. This study aimed to investigate the differences in the number of cases, disease profiles, diagnostic procedures, and therapy procedures before and during the COVID-19 pandemic in the dermatology and venereology outpatient clinic in Dr. Sardjito General Hospital, Yogyakarta, Indonesia. At the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, there was a 61.2% decrease in patients visiting outpatient clinic compared to the same period in previous year. There was also a decrease in the number of diagnostic procedures and therapeutic procedures performed in the outpatient clinic. For the disease profile of the total number of patients who visited the outpatient clinic, there was a slight difference. In 2019, the number of cases of acne vulgaris became the second largest, but in 2020, the number of cases of acne vulgaris decreased to the fifth largest. These results support the finding that COVID-19, although not a skin disease, has an impact on dermatology and venereology outpatient clinic.
新冠病毒病（COVID-19）已在全球迅速传播，包括在印度尼西亚。在这场大流行期间，前往皮肤科和性病科门诊就诊的患者数量及类型存在差异。本研究旨在调查印度尼西亚日惹市萨迪托博士综合医院皮肤科和性病科门诊在COVID-19大流行之前和期间的病例数量、疾病谱、诊断程序和治疗程序的差异。在COVID-19大流行初期，与上一年同期相比，前往门诊就诊的患者减少了61.2%。门诊进行的诊断程序和治疗程序数量也有所减少。对于前往门诊就诊的患者总数的疾病谱，存在细微差异。2019年，寻常痤疮病例数成为第二大，但在2020年，寻常痤疮病例数降至第五大。这些结果支持了这一发现，即COVID-19虽然不是皮肤病，但对皮肤科和性病科门诊有影响。
