BACKGROUND
Prurigo Strophulus (PS) is a chronic and recurrent inflammatory disease caused by a hypersensitivity reaction to arthropod bites. The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of PS and its clinical characteristic in our context.
METHODS
We performed a cross-sectional study during February to May 2017 in Dermatology's units of six hospitals in Yaoundé. Children with clinical signs of PS were included. A questionnaire was administered for data collection.
RESULTS
A total of 112 children (62 boys and 50 girls) were included in the study, with a median age of 2 years; with range varied from 5 months to 16 years. The prevalence of PS was 5.4%. The most represented age group was 0-5 years (78.6%). PS lesions were most often located in exposed areas of body such as lower limbs (101/112; 90.2%), upper limbs (85/112; 75.9%) and face (19.6%). Papule-vesicle (87.5%) was the predominant type of lesions.
CONCLUSION
PS is a common disease in Yaoundé (Cameroon). Papule-vesicle lesions are the most frequent signs. It is usually found in exposure areas of body.
背景
钱币状苔藓样糠疹（PS）是一种由节肢动物叮咬过敏反应引起的慢性复发性炎症性疾病。本研究的目的是确定在我们的环境中PS的患病率及其临床特征。
方法
2017年2月至5月期间，我们在雅温得六家医院的皮肤科进行了一项横断面研究。纳入有PS临床体征的儿童。通过问卷调查收集数据。
