“…The majority of RTRs (94.7%) had a skin lesion at the time of evaluation. LAI including drug-related manifestations comprised the major group of skin lesions in our study, similar to data from India and abroad [ Table 4], although Vijaykumar et al, [3] showed a very low prevalence of drug-related manifestations. Neoplastic lesions were relatively uncommon in our study, which is different from the study reported by Strumia et al, [5] where a higher number of neoplastic lesions were reported (37%).…”

“…The overall prevalence of fungal infections in our study is similar to data from other centers in India [3] and the West [7,8] although it was lower than the prevalence reported from Chandigarh. [2] The prevalence of tinea versicolor (36.5%) is higher compared with other studies both from India [2] (13.3%) and the West [9] (18%).…”

“…Studies on skin manifestations in renal transplant patients have been predominantly from the West and there is paucity of data on skin lesions in renal transplant recipients from India. [1][2][3] The present study is an attempt to highlight the spectrum of dermatological lesions seen in renal transplant recipients in a tropical environment from a tertiary care hospital in South India KOH for suspected superficial fungal infections, Gram staining for suspected pyogenic infections, Ziehl Nielsen staining for suspected atypical and typical mycobacteria and skin smears for acid-fast bacilli for leprosy were done. Fungal, atypical and typical mycobacterial cultures were done in all patients who presented with chronic ulcerated lesions and nodules.…”

“…Aktinik keratoz, BHK, skuamöz hücreli kanser, kaposi sarkomu en çok karşılaştığımız premalin ve malin lezyonlardır. Vijayakumar ve arkadaşları 1987-1996 yılları arasında 340 transplant hastasını takip etmiş olup bu hastalarda toplam 6 olguda premalin ve malin lezyon (2 aktinik keratoz, 3 kaposi sarkomu, 1 BHK) tespit etmişlerdir 11 . Bizim çalışmamızda benzer şekilde premalin ve malin lezyonların tüm hastalarda düşük oranda görüldüğü tespit edildi.…”

ÖzetAmaç: Bu çalışmada renal transplant hastalarında görülen deri bulgularının sıklığı ve klinik özelliklerin belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmamızda renal transplantasyon yapılan 116 hastanın dosyaları retrospektif olarak incelendi. Altı aylık takip süreleri olan hastaların verileri değerlendirmeye alındı. Yaşları 10-68 arasında değişen (ortalama 36,62) 68 erkek (%58,6) ve 48 kadın (%41,4) hasta vardı. Hastaların detaylı dermatolojik muayeneleri yapıldı. Hastalar cinsiyet (erkek-kadın), transplantasyon süresi (1-5 yıl, 5-10 yıl ve 10 yıl üzeri), ve kullanılan ilaçlara (siklosporin, takrolimus, bu iki ilaç dışında immünosüpresan ilacı kullanan) göre gruplandırıldı. Bulgular: Transplant hastalarında en sık görülen deri bulguları infeksiyon hastalıklarıydı. Deri bulguları onikomikoz (13), tinea pedis (9), akneiform lezyon (15) ve verruka (9) şeklinde kaydedildi. Altı ay sonraki klinik değerlendirmede benzer sonuçlar elde edildi. Klinik muayenede hastalarda %7 premalin ve malin lezyon tespit edildi. Hasta gruplarına göre elde edilen sonuçlarda cinsiyet, transplantasyon süresi ve kullanılan ilaçların klinik bulguları etkilemediği belirlendi. Sum maryBackground and Design: This study is conducted to determine the prevalence and clinical characteristics of cutaneous manifestations in renal transplant patients. Materials and Methods: Hospital records of 116 renal transplant patients were retrospectively investigated. The data obtained from patients who had 6 months follow-up period were evaluated. There were 68 (58.6%) males and 48 (41.4%) females aged between 10 and 68 years (mean=36.6 years). Detailed dermatologic examination was performed. The patients were grouped according to gender (male-female), posttransplant period (1-5 years, 5-10 years, >10 years) and the drugs used (cyclosporin, tacrolimus, other than these two immunosuppressant drugs). Results: The most common cutaneous manifestations were infectious. The dermatological findings were onychomycosis (13), tinea pedis (9), acneiform disorders (15), and warts (9). The clinical evaluation after 6 months has also demonstrated the same result. Among the evaluated patients, 7% showed premalignant or malignant manifestations on clinical examination. According to the results obtained from the patient groups, it was found that gender, length of post-transplant period, and use of immunosuppressant drugs do not influence the clinical manifestations of patients. Conclusion: Dermatologic examinations and long-term follow-up should be performed in renal transplant patients. (Turkderm 2013; 47: 88-93)
