“…This is parallel with previous studies 3,4 but actually one third of psoriasis patients are said to be at pediatric age group, 17 thus a higher number was expected. Other common autoimmune skin diseases like alopecia areata (1.66%) and vitiligo (1.76%) have literature compatible results.…”

Background:The field of pediatric dermatology has gained importance with the increment of pediatric patients and the discrepancy of their skin diseases with the adult versions. We aimed to describe frequency and distribution of pediatric skin diseases, and the diagnostic procedures and treatments prescribed. Methods: Cross-sectional epidemiological study. We collected data about diagnostic patterns, diagnostic methods and treatment modalities in pediatric dermatology outpatient clinic visits over 18 months. Results: Infectious diseases (27.9%) and among them viral warts (17.5%) were the most prevalent diagnoses, followed by acne-acneiform diseases (19.9%) and allergic diseases (14.5%). Among the diagnostic tests histopathology was required in 5.2%, usually to diagnose inflammatory and tumoral lesions. Topical treatments (49.3%) were followed by systemic treatments (32.4%) in majority of cases. Conclusions: Viral warts were among the most common dermatoses, and preventive measures for HPV transmission should become important part of public health efforts in children.

“…Histopathological examination with diagnostic significance is a frequently resorted method. Epidemiological studies concerning pediatric dermatoses are frequently based on clinical evidence [1, 2, 3], however only limited number of studies have analyzed histopathological data [4, 5, 6]. In our study we aimed to retrospectively evaluate histopathological diagnoses of pediatric patients with skin biopsy results, and determine their prevalence rates.…”

OBJECTIVE:In our study, we aimed to evaluate retrospectively histopathological diagnoses of children based on their skin biopsies, and determine the prevalence of the disease in question.METHODS:Among patients who applied to Medeniyet University Goztepe Training and Research Hospital between January 2011 and February 2014, we retrospectively evaluated demographic data and histopathological diagnoses of patients aged between 0-17 years whose skin punch biopsy samples were obtained.RESULTS:The study population (n=566) with skin biopsy results consisted of 287 (50.7%) male, and 279 (49.2%) female patients with a mean age of 10.04±4.84 years. Biopsy materials were obtained from the various age groups as follows: 0-2 years, n=31 (5.4%); 3-5 years, n=67 (11.8%) 6-11 years, n=165 (29.1%), and 12-17 years, n=303 (53.5%). Among all age groups, we took biopsies mostly from patients with noninfectious erythematous squamous (24%) and vascular (21.2%) diseases. The determined histopathological diagnoses were leukocytoclasis vasculitis (18.9%), psoriasis (7.4%), melanocytic nevus (5.4%), and contact dermatitis (5.1%) respectively.CONCLUSION:We determined that skin punch biopsy examinations were done most frequently during adolescence and are mostly necessary for diagnosis of erythematous squamous and vascular diseases. If clinical evidence-based prevalence studies are supported with histopathological data, more significant results can be obtained.

“…Esto coincide con los estudios previos, 3,4 pero en realidad se cree que un tercio de los pacientes con psoriasis están en edad pediátrica, 17 por lo que era previsible un número mayor. En la bibliografía, se hallaron resultados compatibles con otras dermatosis autoinmunitarias frecuentes, como la alopecia circunscrita (1,66%) y el vitíligo (1,76%).…”

“…[2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10] De hecho, varían notablemente los patrones entre los distintos grupos etarios; por lo tanto, en el futuro, el campo de la dermatología pediátrica debería dividirse en dermatología neonatal, dermatología pediátrica y dermatología adolescente.…”
