The knowledge of the prevalence of common dermatoses will be useful for optimum use of valuable resources of the country.
The aim of the study is to determine the pattern and prevalence of psoriasis, vitiligo and atopic dermatitis (AD) in India.
This was a hospital-based study conducted on a single day in one medical college each in four zones of India.
The point prevalence of dermatological cases was 9.25%. The point prevalence of psoriasis, vitiligo and AD were 8%, 9.98% and 6.75% respectively. Chronic plaque type psoriasis was the most common (50%) clinical pattern. The most common site of involvement of psoriasis was the palms. Stable type of vitiligo was common which accounted for 65.21%. Lower lip was involved in 75% of mucosal vitiligo. Lower limbs were the most common site of onset of vitiligo. AD was most prevalent in the first decade (40.7%). Personal history of atopy was present in (59.5%) patients. Dry skin was present in 92.5% of patients.
Our data correlates with previous hospital-based prevalence studies of psoriasis, vitiligo and AD.
了解常见皮肤病的患病率有助于该国宝贵资源的优化利用。
本研究旨在确定印度银屑病、白癜风和特应性皮炎(AD)的发病模式及患病率。
这是一项基于医院的研究,于印度四个区域的每一个区域的一所医学院校在某一天开展。
皮肤病病例的时点患病率为9.25%。银屑病、白癜风和AD的时点患病率分别为8%、9.98%和6.75%。慢性斑块型银屑病是最常见的(50%)临床类型。银屑病最常累及的部位是手掌。稳定型白癜风较为常见,占65.21%。75%的黏膜型白癜风累及下唇。下肢是白癜风最常见的发病部位。AD在第一个十年最为普遍(40.7%)。(59.5%)的患者有特应性个人史。92.5%的患者存在皮肤干燥。
我们的数据与之前基于医院的银屑病、白癜风和AD患病率研究结果相关。
