“…However, these numbers are too small to come to any significant conclusion. Contrary to an earlier report (14), we did not find an increased incidence of nail changes with the duration of psoriasis. In concordance with all earlier reports (6,11–13), the most common nail change seen in our study was nail pitting (61.84%) followed by distal onycholysis (30.26%).…”

Psoriasis is a widespread skin disorder in which nail involvement can be seen in up to two-thirds of those affected. Childhood psoriasis is a distinct entity and the literature focused on nail changes associated with childhood psoriasis is scant. Our objectives were to evaluate the frequency of nail involvement in childhood psoriatic patients, assess the types of nail changes in childhood psoriasis, and compare our clinical findings with the few reports available in the literature. Two hundred and one consecutive new patients with childhood (age < or = 16 years) psoriasis of both sexes were selected for the study of nail changes. The diagnosis of psoriasis was made on clinical grounds. Each patient underwent a thorough dermatologic examination with special attention paid to the nail changes. If a clinical suspicion of fungal infection of the nails existed, further mycologic investigations were performed. We found the prevalence of nail changes to be 37.81% (boys > girls) in children who had psoriasis. Nail pitting was found to be the most common manifestation (61.84%) followed by onycholysis (30.26%), subungual hyperkeratosis (13.16%), and discoloration of the nail plate (7.90%). Nail involvement had no relationship to the type of psoriasis, patient's sex, or duration or extent of disease.

“…A uniform dystrophy simultaneously involving all 20 nails, usually with loss of luster, thinning of nail plates, bluish brown discoloration, and longitudinal ridging may occur (1&-20). An atrophic cicatrizing form in which the nails are involved randomly with pterygium formation and progressive nail loss has been seen in blacks and Asians (20,21). Only one child in our study had changes suggestive of lichen planus of the nails.…”

“…Nail pitting is defined as the presence of small depressions on the nail plate usually associated with psoriasis, alopecia areata and eczema [18]. Children with psoriatic arthritis have an association with nail pitting [19]. Nail discoloration is classified into leukonychia or white nails, longitudinal erythronychia, melanonychia, green nails, staining of the nail plate, red lunulae, spotted lunulae, purpura of the nail beds, blue nails, and yellow nail syndrome.…”

Abstract:Background: Nonfungal nail disease in children and adolescents is a limited part of general practice. There is a wide spectrum of viral, traumatic, infectious, inflammatory and congenital conditions that may affect the nail condition in children and adolescents. Therefore assessing nonfungal nail disease and its factors will help the practitioner to recognize and treat the nail disease and determine the necessity to refer a dermatologist when indicated. This study is aimed to assess the magnitude of nonfungal nail disease, to identify the clinical characteristics and factors associated with nonfungal nail disease in children and adolescents from 1 to 18 years old. Methods: The data were collected from all cases with nonfungal nail diseases with the use of descriptive cross-sectional study, under the age of 19 years old in West China Hospital, Sichuan University. Interview, nail sample for direct microscopy and culture along with clinical pictures were taken. Finally collected data was analyzed using the Software Package for Social Science (SPSS) version 21. Results: A total of 187 patients fulfilled the inclusion criteria for the study. The mean age of the cases was 5.5 years (SD±3.8), female 96 (51.3%) and male 91 (48.90%). The majority of 113 (60.40%) were at the age category <5 years of age. A large number of patients, 175 (93.6%) were residing in the urban area. Around 77 (41.20%), 44 (23.50%), 37 (19.78%) cases were identified to have a history of the common cold disease, hand-foot-mouth disease, and skin diseases, respectively. Among all cases, the magnitude of onychomadesis was 50 (26.70%). On binary logistic regression age (P value 0.001), hand-foot-mouth disease (P value 0.0001) and skin disorder (P value 0.020) were significantly associated with onychomadesis. Finally on multiple logistic regression only age and hand-foot-mouth disease were significantly associated at, (P value 0.006) and (P value 0.0001) respectively. Conclusion: This study determines that the occurrence of nonfungal nail disease decreases with the increase in the age of children. Onychomadesis was the most common nonfungal nail disease found in children and it affected both the hands. The age and hand-foot-mouth disease were statistically significant to onychomadesis. However, more powerful and precise studies are needed in future.
