BACKGROUNDPityriasis Rosea (PR) is an acute, inflammatory dermatosis of unknown cause, characterized by self-limited oval papulosquamous lesions distributed on the trunk and extremities. Seasonal incidence of PR differs widely. Clinical presentation of the disease may vary. PR may be atypical in appearance or distribution of lesions. Since there were discrepancies in various studies, it was thought worth to study the changing clinical patterns and epidemiology of Pityriasis rosea.

Amaç: Pitiriyazis rozea bilinmeyen etyolojisi, farklı klinik görünümleri ve farklı tanı ve tedavi seçenekleri ile ilgi çeken bir hastalık olmaya devam etmektedir. Bu çalışmada pitiriyazis rozealı hastaların klinik ve epidemiyolojik özellikleri değerlendirildi. Yöntemler: Haziran 2011-Haziran 2012 tarihleri arasında pitiriyazis rozea tanısı alan 70 hastanın demografik özellikleri ile hastalıkla ilişkili çevresel ve kişisel faktörler, hastalığın klinik özellikleri ve seyri prospektif olarak incelendi. Bulgular: Çalışma grubundaki 70 hastanın (41 kadın, 29 erkek) yaş ortalaması 25,9±15,26 (2-69) yıl idi. Hastalığın en sık görüldüğü mevsimler kış (%37,1) ve sonbahar (%27,2) olarak saptandı. Prodromal semptom öyküsü olan hastaların (n=28) en sık bildirdiği semptom halsizlik (%64,3) idi. Öncü plak 44 hastada (%62,9) gözlendi ve en sık yerleşim yeri boyun (%22,7) olarak tespit edildi. En sık bildirilen şikayet 41 hastada tespit edilen kaşıntıydı. On bir hasta atipik pitiriyazis rozea tanısı aldı. Daha önce bildirilmemiş bir boyuna lokalize pitiriyazis rozea olgusu ile dış kulak yolunda ikincil lezyonların görüldüğü bir olgu gözlendi. Hastalığın dermatoloji hastaları arasında görülme sıklığı 1/1000 olarak tespit edildi. Sonuç: Çalışmanın demografik sonuçları daha önce Türkiye'de yapılan çalışmalarda bildirilen sonuçlar ile uyumlu bulundu. Seasons in which the disease is seen most frequently were winter (37.1%) and autumn (27.2%). The most common symptom was fatigue (64.3%) in patients who had prodromal symptoms (n=28). Primary plaque was determined in 44 cases (58.6%) and the most frequent localization was neck (22.7%). The most frequent symptom was pruritus and it was present in 41 patients. Eleven patients were diagnosed as atypical pityriasis rosea. One patient demonstrated unusual presentation of pityriasis rosea with localization to neck, and another one with secondary lesions on external ear tunnel which has not been described previously. Pityriasis rosea frequency in dermatology outpatients was 1/1000. Conclusion:The demographical results of this study were consistent with the results of the previously reported studies in Turkey.
