Abstract

Background and design: The aim of this study was to examine clinical and demographic characteristics of patients who presented with dermatological lesions to the pediatric emergency department. MATERIALS-METHODS: All patients who presented with the complaint of dermatological problems within the last 5 years were evaluated retrospectively. RESULTS: Of 498 patients applied to our clinic, 273 (54.8%) were males, 225 (45.2%) were females. The median age of the patients was 5.56±3.72 years. Our study included four (0.8%) neonates, seventy (14.1%) infants, one hundred sixty one (32.3%) preschool and two hundred sixty three (52.8%) school going children who were applied for the management of dermatological emergencies. The most common dermatological diseases were infectious skin disorders, urticaria, and drug reactions. Systemic therapy was prescribed in 66.9% and local therapy in 9.9% of the patients. Combined local and systemic therapy was given to 17.3% of the cases. Of all patients, 23 (4.6%) were consulted by dermatology. Of all patients, 20.9% were admitted to our hospital, while 78.9% treated with outpatient and one patient left hospital before completion of his therapy. CONCLUSION: The most common dermatological diseases are infectious skin disorders in pediatric emergency department. Common skin diseases in pediatric emergency department must be established and periodical education programs associated with these diseases were planned.

Özet

Giriş ve AMAÇ: Çocuk acil polikliniğimize deri lezyonları ile başvuran olguların klinik ve demografik özelliklerinin incelenmesi amaçlandı. GEREÇ-YÖNTEM: Son beş yılda dermatolojik problemler ile başvuran hastaların dosyaları yaş, cinsiyet, başvuru semptomları, başvuru zamanı, etyolojik faktörler, dermatoloji konsültasyon sıklığı ve nedenleri, uygulanan tedavi ve hastaneye yatış oranları açısından retrospektif olarak incelendi. BULGULAR: Kliniğimize son beş yılda dermatolojik şikayetlerle başvuran 498 olgunun 273’ü (%54,8) erkek, 225’i (%45,2) kızdı. Olguların yaş ortalaması ise 5.56±3.72 yıl idi. Olguların 4’ü (%0.8) yenidoğan, 70’i (%14.1) süt çocuğu, 161’i (%32.3) oyun çocuğu ve 263’ü (%52.8) ise okul çocuğu idi. En sık tespit edilen dermatolojik hastalıklar ise döküntülü enfeksiyon hastalıkları, ürtiker ve ilaç reaksiyonları idi. Olguların %66.9’una sistemik, %17.3’üne topikal ve sistemik, %9.9’una topikal tedavi verilirken %5.9 olguya ise tedavi uygulanmadığı tespit edildi. Sadece 23 (%4,6) olguda dermatoloji konsültasyon istemi vardı. Olguların 104’ünün (%20.9) hastaneye yatırıldığı, 393’ünün (%78.9) ayaktan tedavi gördüğü ve bir olgunun ise tedavisi devam etmekte iken kendi isteği ile acil servisten ayrıldığı tespit edildi. SONUÇ: Çocuk acil ünitelerine dermatolojik aciller arasında en sık başvuru nedeni döküntülü enfeksiyon hastalıklarıdır. Acil çalışanlarına yönelik içeriğinde çocukluk çağında acil dermatolojiyi de içeren periyodik eğitim programları düzenlenmeli ve özellikle hayati fonksiyonları etkileyebilecek dermatolojik hastalıklara bu eğitim programı içerisinde yer verilmelidir.
