Onychomycosis in childhood is reported to be unusual. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of onychomycosis in primary school children and to make comparison between different socioeconomic status in the rural and urban areas of the city. Hand and foot nails of 23235 children aged 7-14 were examined. Onychomycosis was suspected and nail scrapings for mycological examination were taken in 116 of them. Hyphae or spores were seen in 41 (0.18%) by direct microscopic examination, and mycological cultures were positive in 24 (0.1%) of them. Toenails were affected in all of the fungal culture positive cases. Trichosporon spp, Trichophyton rubrum, Candida albicans and Candida glabrata grew in 11, 6, 5 and 2 of the cultures respectively. Onychomycosis prevalence was significantly higher in the children living in the rural areas (p = 0.016) [Odds ratio = 3.43 (%95 CI 1.11
Erythromelanosis follicularis faciei et colli is characterized by well-demarcated erythema, hyperpigmentation, and follicular papules. Since the original description, it has seldom been reported in the literature. We present two adolescent brothers who had this disorder associated with keratosis pilaris on the shoulders and the extensor surfaces of the arms. Dermatologic examination found brown-red pigmentation, erythema, and follicular papules on both maxillary, preauricular regions, and the cheeks. The lesions of the older brother were more prominent. Histopathologic examination of skin biopsy specimens taken from both brothers revealed hyperpigmentation of the basal layer, follicular plugging, dermal vascular dilatation and congestion, and perivascular inflammatory infiltration. We suggest that the coexistence of these two conditions in brothers implies a genetic inheritance and a possible relationship between the disorders.
ÖzetAmaç: Seboreik dermatit, herpes zoster ve pitriyazis rozean›n ortak özellikleri hava ›s›s›n›n düflük oldu¤u dönemlerde görülme s›kl›klar›n›n artmas›d›r. Biz çal›flmam›zda seboreik dermatit, herpes zoster ve pitriyazis rozea'n›n y›l içinde aylar ve mevsimler ile olan iliflkilerini saptamay› amaçlad›k. Gereç ve Yöntem: Aral›k 2006 -Aral›k 2009 tarihleri aras›nda dermatoloji poliklini¤imize baflvuran 20397 hasta ve seboreik dermatit, herpes zoster ve pitriyazis rozea tan›s› alm›fl olan 1801 hasta otomasyon dosya sisteminden retrospektif olarak analiz edildi. Hastalar demografik verilere ve tan›lara göre grupland›r›ld›. Bulgular: Hastal›klar ile s›k görüldü¤ü mevsimler aras›nda istatistiksel olarak anlaml› iliflki tespit edildi (p<0,001). Seboreik dermatit %32,5 oran›nda sonbahar mevsiminde, herpes zoster %29,8 oran›nda sonbahar mevsiminde, pitriyazis rozea %31,0 oran›nda k›fl mevsiminde, tüm dermatolojik hastal›klar %29,1 oran›nda k›fl mevsiminde tespit edildi. Hastal›klar ile s›k görüldü¤ü aylar aras›nda istatistiksel olarak anlaml› iliflki tespit edildi (p<0,001). Seboreik dermatit %12,3 oran›nda kas›m ay›nda, herpes zoster %11,5 oran›nda eylül ay›nda, pitriyazis rozea %10,7 oran›nda ocak ay›nda, tüm dermatolojik hastal›klar %8,21 oran›nda flubat ay›nda tespit edildi. Sonuç: Çal›flma sonuçlar›m›z literatür bilgileri ile paralellik göstermektedir. Seboreik dermatit, herpes zoster, pitriyazis rozea ve tüm dermatolojik hastal›klar›n görülmesi aç›s›ndan sonbahar ve k›fl aylar› en yüksek oranda tespit edilmifltir. Ortam ›s›s›n›n düfl-mesi hücresel immun direncin deprese olmas›na neden olmakta, bunun da hastal›klara yatk›n bireylerde hastal›klar›n ortaya ç›k-mas›na ya da nüksüne neden oldu¤unu düflünüyoruz.

The aim of this study was to determine the relationships of seborrheic dermatitis, herpes zoster and pityriasis rosea with the months and sessions during the year. Material and Method: Twenty thousends three hundreds ninety seven patients referred to our dermatology policlinic between December 2006 and December 2009 with 1801 patients being diagnosed as seborrheic dermatitis, herpes zoster or pityriasis rosea were retrospectively analysed from the automation record system. The patients were grouped according to demographic data and diagnosis. Results: A statistically significant relationship was found between the diseases and the seasons in which they were frequently seen (p<0.001). It was found that 32.5% of seborrheic dermatitis was seen in autumn season, 29.8% of herpes zoster was seen in autumn season, 31.0% of pityriasis rosea was seen in winter season, and 29.1% of all dermatological diseases was seen in winter season. A statistically significant relationship was found between the diseases and the ...
SummaryBackground and Design: The aim of this study was to determine the distribution of skin diseases during childhood. Material and Method: A retrospective descriptive study was planned. Among 18318 patients referred to our dermatology outpatient clinic between September 2004 and November 2009, 1756 child patients between 0-12 years of age were retrospectively analyzed from automation record system. Results: A total of 1756 child patients who referred during the study period were included in the study; 791 patients were male (45.05%) and 965 were female (54.95%). The most frequently seen disease group was eczema (26.0%), followed by infectious dermatosis (20.6%) and eritematous squamous dermatosis (9.9%). Atopic dermatitis (8.0%), viral dermatosis (11.7%) and seborrheic dermatitis (7.1%) were the most frequently encountered diseases in eczema, infectious dermatosis and eritematous squamous dermatosis groups, respectively. Conclusion: We found that 56.5% of the diseases determined were composed of eczemas, infectious dermatosis and eritematous squamous dermatosis. (Turkderm 2010; 44: 132-7)
