BACKGROUND
Prurigo pigmentosa (PP) is a rare inflammatory dermatosis of unknown etiology. It is characterized by erythematous papules of the trunk that resolve leaving a reticulate hyperpigmentation. The original report from Japan in 1971 was followed by new cases, mostly of Japanese origin.
METHODS
We scrutinized PP cases diagnosed in our clinic and reviewed the English, German, French, and Turkish language literature.
RESULTS
We report six additional Turkish patients. We found more than 40 cases reported from various countries outside Japan. The patients had different racial origins. The number of Turkish patients reported in recent years is higher than the number of other non-Japanese patients reported.
CONCLUSIONS
The disease is not uncommon in the Turkish population. It may be underestimated in other countries with Caucasian populations. Therapeutic results with tetracycline and doxycycline was successful in our patients.
背景
色素性痒疹（PP）是一种病因不明的罕见炎症性皮肤病。其特征为躯干出现红斑丘疹，消退后遗留网状色素沉着。1971年日本的首例报告之后又出现了新病例，大多数病例来自日本。
方法
我们仔细研究了在我们诊所诊断出的PP病例，并查阅了英文、德文、法文和土耳其文文献。
结果
我们报告了另外6例土耳其患者。我们发现日本以外的各个国家报告了40多例病例。这些患者有不同的种族背景。近年来报告的土耳其患者数量高于其他非日本患者的数量。
结论
该疾病在土耳其人群中并不罕见。在其他白种人人群的国家中可能被低估。四环素和强力霉素对我们的患者治疗效果良好。
