Abstract

Objective: Our aim was to determine the frequency of post-adolescent acne among acne patients, together with the type and localization of their lesions, concurrent hirsutismus, menstrual irregularities and hormonal abnormalities. Material and Method: We performed a retrospective study of patients with acne over 25-year-old, who attended our outpatient clinic from 1996 to 2001. Results: Of 1853 acne patients, 175 (9.4%) were diagnosed as post-adolescent acne. Among these 175 post- adolescent acne patients, 143 (81.7%) had history of acne after 25-years of age, while 32 (18.3%) had persistent acne. The ages of patients with post-adolescent acne were ranging between 25 and 48 (mean value: 29.71±5.08). The duration period of disease was ranging between l and 240 months (mean value: 34.37+53.72). 144 of the postadolescent patients (82.3%) were female and 31 (17.2%) were male. When distribution of the lesions were evaluated, there were facial lesions in 125 patients (71.4%), trunk lesions in 11 patients (6.35%), and both face and trunk lesions in 39 patients (22.25%). Of 175 patients, 159 (90.9%) had papulopustular and 16 (9.1%) had nodulocystic acne. Hirsutism was observed in 20 cases (l l.4%). When hormones were evaluated in 28 patients with hirsutism and/or irregular menstruation, abnormal levels were determined in 11 (39.3%) of them; while pelvic ultrasonographic evaluations revealed polycystic ovary syndrome in 7 (30.4%) of 23 patients, who had completed their ultrasonographic examinations. Conclusion: Because of the close association with hyperandrogenetism, postadolescent acne patients have to be investigated thoroughly in the aspect of hormonal irregularities.

Özet

Amaç: Polikliniğimizde akne vulgaris tanısı alan hastalarda postadolesan akne sıklığını belirlemek ve bu hastalarda lezyon tipi, lokalizasyonu, eşlik eden hirsutismus, menstruel düzensizlikler ve hormonal bozuklukları değerlendirmektir.Yöntem: 1996- 2001 yılları arasında Celal Bayar Üniversitesi Dermatoloji polikliniğine başvuran 25 yaş üstündeki akneli hastalar retrospektif olarak incelendi.Bulgular: Toplam 1853 akneli hastadan 175'i (%9.4) postadolesan akne olarak değerlendirildi. 175 postadolesan akneli hastanın 143'ünde (%81.7) aknenin 25 yaşından sonra başladığı, 32'sinde (%18.3) ise persistan olduğu saptandı. Postadolesan akne tanısı alan hastaların yaşları 25 ile 48 arasında değişmekte olup, yaş ortalaması 29.71±5.08 idi. Hastalık süresi l ile 240 ay arasında değişmekteydi; ortalama süre 34.37$pm$53.72 ay olarak belirlendi. Hastaların 144'ü (%82.3) kadın, 31'i (%17.2) erkekti. Lezyon dağılımına baktığımızda 125'i (%71.4) yüz yerleşimli, 11 'i (% 6.3) gövde yerleşimli, 39'u (%22.2) yüz ve gövde yerleşimliydi. Hastaların 159'u (%90.9) papülopüstüler, 16'sı (%9,1) nodülokistik akne olarak değerlendirildi. Hirsutismus hastaların 20'sinde (%11.4) gözlendi. Menstruasyon düzensizliği tanımlayan ve/veya hirsutismus saptanan 28 hastadan istenen hormon tetkikleri, 11 (%39.3) hastada anormal bulunurken; pelvik ultrasonografı tetkikini yaptıran 23 hastadan 7'sinde (%30.4) polikistik over saptandı.Sonuç: Hiperandrojenizm ile ilişkisi nedeniyle postadolesan akne tanısı alan hastaların hormonal bozukluklar açısından araştırılması gerektiği sonucuna varıldı.
