“…We found incidence of scabies in older children -25.3% compared to other studies (5.1% to 22.4%). [12][13][14][15][16] We found 12.2% of infections in older children are of bacterial in etiology, higher than neonates (2%). Studies done with less than 12 year age group children from eastern part of India (1994) showed different result.…”

Background: The stage of infancy lasts from birth to 12 months of age (WHO).Infant Dermatosis is quite different from adult dermatosis.The objective of our study is to find out various patterns of infant dermatosis in eastern India. Methods: The cross sectional study was done in Nilratan sircar Medical college & Hospital for a period of one year (April 2015 to March 2016). The study was carried out on 600 infants. As per different patterns of skin manifestations, the infants were divided into two groups -neonatal and post neonatal. After studying the individual infants' history, the relevant clinical examinations and investigations(clinically doutful cases) were carried out.Diseases were tabulated accordingly. Results: In neonatal group physiological conditions were predominant (65.3%) whereas infections were prevalent in post neonatal period (54.8%). Among the infectious conditions parasitic infections (25.3%) were most common followed by bacterial (12.2%), viral(10.2%),and fungal infections (7.1%). Sweat gland disorders (14.5%) were commonest after infections and prevalent in older age group. Seborrheic dermatitis was commonest among dermatitis and equally prevalent in both groups (10%). Conclusion: Infants are vulnerable to various types of infections (bacterial,viral,fungal).Infected family members may be source of chronicity of infections.Though various physiological conditions are very common in neonatal age group which needs proper explanation and counseling of parents. Infections and non infectious dermatitis are also prevalent which need proper treatment.

“…Whereas impetigo occurred much less commonly in infants compared to other age groups in study by Banerjee et al 6 Candidiasis (3.1%) was the most common fungal infection, which is consistent with other study. 10 Out of various viral infections, varicella was seen in majority (6.9%) of the cases in our study whereas, herpes simplex was the commonest viral infection in another study. 3 Pattern of inflammatory disorders revealed ICD (22.3%) to be the commonest, followed by seborrhoeic dermatitis (3.8%).…”

Background: Diaper area dermatoses is a broad term used to describe various skin conditions that can occur in diaper area. Dermatoses in diaper area can occur as primary disease, as part of a generalised inflammatory skin disease, or as part of a systemic disease.Methods: One hundred and thirty children below five years with eruptions involving the diaper area were enrolled in the study. A detailed history, general physical examination and dermatological examination was done and recorded in a proforma. Tests such as Tzanck smear, skin biopsy, KOH preparation, culture sensitivity, Gram staining and appropriate hematological investigations were done whenever necessary depending on the presenting condition.Results: A total of twenty three (23) various dermatoses were encountered. Irritant contact dermatitis (22.3%) was the most common dermatoses, followed by scabies (14.6%), impetigo (13.8%) and papular urticaria (11.5%). Aetiological analysis revealed that majority (28.5%) of dermatoses belonged to infection group followed by inflammatory (26.15%) and arthropod bite (26.15%) groups. Amongst the infective dermatoses, bacterial infection (14.61%) was most common entity followed by viral (10.76%) and fungal infection (3.1%).Conclusions: Our study emphasizes various dermatoses in diaper area in paediatric population and proves that aetiology is multifactorial and is not because of diaper alone.

BACKGROUNDPaediatric dermatoses constitute various skin diseases (both infective and non-infective) effecting the paediatric age groups. Infective dermatoses being bacterial, viral and fungal infections. Non-infective dermatoses being atopic dermatitis, seborrheic dermatitis, vesiculobullous diseases, keratinisation disorders, papulosquamous disorders, pigmentary disorders, etc. The purpose of the study was to see dermatoses commonly affecting paediatric age groups (0 to 14 years) in Osmania General Hospital over a period of six months (December 2015 to June 2016).
