We compared the prevalence of keratosis punctata of the palmar creases among populations living in Belgium, Togo, Peru and the United Arab Emirates. It appears that black Africans and Hindous (prevalence 1 to 2%) are more often affected than Latin Americans (prevalence less than 0.1%). The disease was not seen among Europeans and Arabs. Histologically, the lesions consist of a marked hyperkeratosis located at the site of acrosyringia. The disease should therefore be considered as a sweat gland disorder.
我们比较了生活在比利时、多哥、秘鲁和阿拉伯联合酋长国的人群中掌纹点状角化病的患病率。似乎非洲黑人和印度人(患病率为1%至2%)比拉丁美洲人(患病率低于0.1%)更常受到影响。在欧洲人和阿拉伯人中未发现这种疾病。从组织学上看,病变表现为位于顶泌汗腺部位的明显角化过度。因此,该疾病应被视为一种汗腺疾病。
