“…Tırnakta en fazla görülen değişiklik yüksük tırnaktır (6,18), fakat başka birçok tırnak bulgusu da olabilmektedir. Bunlar subungual hiperkeratoz, onikolizis, sarı kahverengi renk değişikliği olarak görülen 'yağ damlası' görünümü (hiponikyum ve tırnak yatağında biriken glikoproteine bağlı) ve longitudinal çizgilenmedir (6,15,18,20). Tırnak tutulumu olgularımızın %14'ünde izlendi.…”

Objective: This study was aimed to define the clinical and demographic findings of psoriasis in childhood. Methods: In this retrospective study, the data from 64 children with psoriasis admitted at the our dermatology clinic between January 2007 and January 2011 were included whose data were fully. Results: Of the patients, 37 (57.8%) were boys and 27 (42.2%) were girls. Mean age of the children was 10.08 ±3.98 years (3-16). In 10 (15%) cases, a positive family history was detected. The most frequent localizations at onset were trunk (46.9%), scalp (28.1%), knee-elbow (10.9%) and extremities (7.9%), respectively. The most commonly seen clinical types were plaque (68.8%), guttate (20.3%), palmoplantar (9.4%), pustular (1.6%), respectively. Nine children had nail involvement. Out of all patients, 21.9% had upper respiratory tract infections and 9.4% had emotional stres. Four cases were diagnosed with depression. Of the cases, two cases were on non-steroid anti-inflammatory medication, and 4 of them were on antibiotics. Systemic treatments were given to 21.9% of the cases besides topical treatments. Conclusion:The epidemiological studies of psoriasis during childhood period for different countries have been reported. In this study, the ratio shows differences when compared to those previous studies. There are few epidemiologic studies for Turkey. We believe that further epidemiological studies including large number of patients' groups will contribute the diagnosis and treatment of the disease. Key words: Psoriasis, retrospective Sonuç: Çocukluk çağında görülen Psoriasisle ilgili farklı ülkeleri kapsayan çeşitli epidemiyolojik çalışmalar mevcuttur ve bu çalışmalarda bildirilen oranlar arasında farklılıklar bulunmaktadır. Ülkemizden bildirilen az sayıda epidemiyolojik çalışma mevcuttur. Daha geniş hasta gruplarını içeren çalışmalarla sağlanacak verilerin hastalığın tanı ve tedavisine katkıda bulunacağını düşünmekteyiz.

“…It accounts for about 1-2% of pediatric psoriasis and, only two cases of the congenital variety have been reported [4]. Lesions in children tend to be more pruritic, thinner, softer, and less scaly relative to those in adults [5]. Chronic plaquetype psoriasis is the most common form, consisting of large, welldemarcated, symmetrical, erythematous lesions with thick micaceous scale [6].…”

Observation: Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory papulosquamous disorder which typically follows a relapsing and remitting course. The condition is rare among West Africans compared with other Africans and the world. Although psoriasis is most frequently diagnosed between the ages of 15 and 25, it can appear at any time and, can affect children of all ages, including infants. The clinical manifestations of psoriasis in a child are generally similar to those in an adult. Here we report a case of a 6 month West African child with plaque type psoriasis with lesions predominantly in the diaper area.

ÖzetDeğişik dalga boylarıyla farklı tiplerdeki fototerapi cihazları dermatolojik hastalıkların tedavisinde uzun yıllardır kullanılmaktadır. Geniş-bant Ultraviyole B (UVB), darbant Ultraviyole B (dbUVB), Ultraviyole A1 (UVA1), Psoralen-Ultraviyole A (PUVA) (Psoralen+UVA) ve 308 nm excimer lazer dermatolojide kullanılan fototerapi seçenekleridir. Fototerapi cihaz ve sistemleri tedavinin yan etkilerini azaltmak ve etkinliğini artırmak için sürekli gelişmektedir. Dermatolojik hastalığı olan pediatrik hastalarda özellikle dirençli vitiligo, psoriasis ve atopik dermatit tedavilerinde, fototerapi daha sık kullanılmaktadır. Karsinogenez ve fotoyaşlanma gibi uzun dönem yan etkilerden sakınmak için, erişkinlerden farklı olarak çocuklarda dbUVB, UVA1 gibi daha sınırlı dalga boylarını içeren fototerapi yöntemleri tercih edilmektedir. Fototerapinin etkinlik ve güvenirliğinin ortaya konması için standart fototerapi tedavi protokollerinin uygulandığı çalışmalara ihtiyaç vardır. Sum maryDifferent types of phototherapy devices with various wavelengths are used in the treatment of dermatologic diseases for several decades. Broad-band ultraviolet B (UVB), narrowband ultraviolet B (nbUVB), ultraviolet A1 (UVA1), Psoralen+ultraviolet A (PUVA) and 308 nm excimer laser are treatment options of phototherapy used in dermatology. Phototherapy devices and systems are constantly developing to reduce adverse reactions and increase efficiency of the treatment. Phototherapy is being used more frequently in pediatric patients with dermatologic diseases especially in the treatment of refractory vitiligo, psoriasis and atopic dermatitis. Apart from the adult patients, nbUVB and UVA1, representing the more restricted wavelengths of ultraviolet radiation, are preferred for children to avoid long term side effects like carcinogenesis and photoaging. Studies done with standard phototherapy treatment protocols are needed in order to evaluate the efficiency and safety of phototherapy. (Turk derm 2011; 45
