Several studies have documented cutaneous findings in neonates of various racial groups. Our purpose was to determine the frequency of birthmarks in Israeli neonates of Jewish and Arabic origin.
A cohort of 1672 newborn infants under 96 hours of age were examined for the presence of birthmarks. Of these 841 (50.3%) were Jewish and 831 (49.7%) were Arab. The Jewish group was further subdivided into various ethnic groups according to parental ancestry.
Melanocytic brown lesions (Mongolian spots, congenital nevi, and café-au-lait spots), were more common in Arab infants. The vast majority of Jewish infants with Mongolian spots were of Asian or African ancestry. On the other hand, congenital melanocytic nevi were found only in Jewish infants of European ancestry. Vascular lesions (salmon patch and port-wine stain) in Arab neonates exhibited a female preponderance.
Our data suggest that the prevalence of birthmarks in Israeli neonates is similar to the prevalence reported by others in white neonates.
多项研究记录了不同种族新生儿的皮肤表现。我们的目的是确定以色列犹太裔和阿拉伯裔新生儿胎记的发生率。
对1672名年龄在96小时以内的新生儿进行胎记检查。其中841名（50.3%）为犹太裔，831名（49.7%）为阿拉伯裔。犹太人群体根据父母祖籍进一步细分为不同的种族群体。
黑素细胞性褐色损害（蒙古斑、先天性痣和咖啡斑）在阿拉伯裔婴儿中更为常见。绝大多数有蒙古斑的犹太婴儿具有亚洲或非洲血统。另一方面，先天性黑素细胞痣仅在欧洲血统的犹太婴儿中发现。阿拉伯裔新生儿的血管性损害（鲑鱼斑和葡萄酒色斑）女性居多。
我们的数据表明，以色列新生儿胎记的发生率与其他研究报道的白人新生儿发生率相似。
