This case-control type of analytical study was conducted in the Department of Dermatology and Venereology, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University, Dhaka, Bangladesh to find out the association between morphological changes of nail and nail arsenic level in arsenicosis patients. Majority of arsenicosis patients were male (56.67%). The mean age of the cases was 43.07+/-13.73 years. Nail changes were found in 26.67% of cases, most were nail dystrophy (23.33%) and rest were Mee's line (3.34%). There was significant difference between cases with or without nail changes and nail arsenic level. But cases with or with out nail changes had a significant difference between duration of intake of arsenic contaminated water. There was no correlation between nail changes and nail arsenic level for nail dystrophy and Mee's line. The study result failed to establish association between the morphological changes of nail and nail arsenic level.
本病例对照研究在孟加拉国达卡的班加班杜·谢赫·穆吉布医科大学皮肤病与性病科开展,以探究砷中毒患者指甲形态变化与指甲砷水平之间的关联。大多数砷中毒患者为男性(56.67%)。病例的平均年龄为43.07±13.73岁。26.67%的病例出现指甲变化,其中大多数为指甲营养不良(23.33%),其余为米氏线(3.34%)。有或无指甲变化的病例与指甲砷水平之间存在显著差异。但有或无指甲变化的病例在饮用受砷污染水的时长方面存在显著差异。对于指甲营养不良和米氏线,指甲变化与指甲砷水平之间无相关性。该研究结果未能证实指甲形态变化与指甲砷水平之间存在关联。
