“…The most affected age group was that of children of 2–3 years old (41.9%), with a predominance in the rainy season (57.4%). Our observation for age is contrary to that of Adegbidi et al 2 . who noted a high peak in IAD between 0 and 30 months.…”

“…This due to the presence of UCK in this district. Contrary to the Beninese and Cameroonian results, 1,2 we noted a maximum peak of IAD in 2014 (17.3%), followed by a decrease in this frequency during the following 7 years. This would be the consequence of better multidisciplinary and specialised care offered by the hospital.…”

“…The frequency of hospital visits and consultations for IAD in children have rarely been reported. In West and Central Africa, IAD represent 32%–37% of cases of dermatoses in general in the paediatric population for an age group beyond 5 years 2,3,5 . Kouotou et al.…”

“…Immuno‐allergic dermatoses (IAD) are nosological group of skin pathologies which include hypersensitivity reaction and spongiform pattern 1 . Their prevalence in children is the subject of controversy compared to those of infectious dermatoses in developing countries according to certain African authors 2–5 . These IAD could be the result of a phenomenon of westernisation of the population's lifestyles and environmental pollution due to progressive industrialisation in African metropolises.…”

IntroductionThe frequency of immuno‐allergic dermatoses (IAD) is gradually overtaking that of infectious dermatoses in sub‐Saharan Africa. The aim of this study was to identify the epidemioclinical profile and the determinants of IAD in children of 0–5 years old at the University Clinics of Kinshasa (UCK).MethodsThis was a documentary and descriptive study that focused on children from 0 to 5 years old with IAD, over an 11‐year period from 2011 to 2021. Included were children from 0 to 5 years old received in consultation the first time for IAD. The parameters of interest were sociodemographic and clinical. Data was entered and analysed using Excel 2010 software. Ethical and deontological considerations were respected. The value of p < 0.05 was the significance threshold.ResultsThe frequency of IAD in children aged 0–5 years in the UCK was 17.8%, with a high peak between 2 and 3 years (41.9%) and a female predominance at 54.4%, which represents a sex ratio of 0.8. Prurigo strophulus (42.3%) and atopic dermatitis (22.8%) were the most common IAD. In multivariate analysis, the determinants were significantly the age group of 4–5 years, the rainy season and the child's environment.ConclusionPrurigo strophulus and atopic dermatitis were the most frequent IAD in children aged 0–5 years. A holistic care (medical, ecological) of children and their parents may reduce morbidity related to IAD for this age.

“…In these centers, the frequencies of reported immunoallergic dermatosis range from 32.5% in Mali (Youssouf et al, 2016) to 54.76% in Bukavu (Semikenke, 2018) or 30% in Bangui (Kobangué, 2014). In our study, immuno-allergic dermatoses accounted for 37.7% of cases, a rate close to the results obtained by Adegbidi in Cotonou with 37% [16] or Moussirou-Soumbou in Libreville with 25.1% (Moussirou-Soumbou, 2018).…”

Arthropods, dermatoses, health center, indoor living conditions. Skin diseases are increasingly a public health problem in many countries, particularly in Africa. The dermatoses identified have often revealed various etiologies and many arthropods may be responsible. A study was conducted in the city of Brazzaville, in order to determine the types of arthropods involved in certain immuno-allergic dermatoses and to evaluate the conditions characterizing the aggression of human skin by them. The study was carried out mainly in an indoor nursing home, following consultations at the health center. A total of 43 patients out of a total of 603 people followed were found to be carriers of dermatitis, or 37% of them. The H / F ratio was 0.59, with an average age of 13.69 ± 16 years. Atopic dermatitis was most common with (74.41%) followed by Prurigo Strophilus (16.27%). A total of 668 arthropod specimens were obtained including 96.85% mites and 3.14% insects. It appeared that Ixodes ricinus is the most abundant species with a rate of 84% followed by Blomia tropicalis with 12.7%. The average temperature during the observations was evaluated at 28 ° C while the average humidity was 50% RH.
