In our study the relative incidence of vitiligo among new patients was 2.6%. Twenty percent were children and 74% were adults. Of the 90 children, 38.9% were boys, and 61.1% were girls. This sex difference was statistically highly significant. The adult sex-ratio was not statistically significant. The relative incidence of the clinical subtypes in children and adults was compared, and the difference was found to be statistically highly significant only in the case of vitiligo vulgaris and segmental vitiligo. On the basis of the difference in the sex-ratio and in the relative incidence of the subtypes of vitiligo vulgaris and segmental vitiligo, we feel that childhood vitiligo is a distinct subtype of vitiligo.
在我们的研究中,白癜风在新患者中的相对发病率为2.6%。其中20%为儿童,74%为成人。在90名儿童中,38.9%为男孩,61.1%为女孩。这种性别差异在统计学上具有高度显著性。成人的性别比例在统计学上无显著性差异。对儿童和成人白癜风临床亚型的相对发病率进行了比较,发现仅在寻常型白癜风和节段型白癜风的情况下,差异在统计学上具有高度显著性。基于性别比例以及寻常型白癜风和节段型白癜风亚型相对发病率的差异,我们认为儿童白癜风是白癜风的一种独特亚型。
