Abstract

Objectives: Hand, foot and mouth disease is a viral infection which is characterized by fever, vesicularlesions in palm, sole, and mouth, and is frequent observed in children. We aimed to investigate the clinicalcharacteristics of 33 patients admitted to the Clinic of Dermatology in Ankara Atatürk Training andResearch Hospital between 2015 and 2017.Materials and Methods: Thirty‐three patients were evaluated for the presence of symptoms such as fever,pain, burning, pruritus, age, sex, localization of lesions, family and atopy history.Results: The median age of the 33 patients studied was 12.21±9.45 years (min‐max: 1‐36), there were 23children and 10 adults. The mean duration of illness was calculated as 3,9±1,9 days (min‐max: 1‐7). 36.36% ofthe patients (n = 12) were male. 26 (78.78%) patients had fever history. There were atopy histories in 5patients (15.15%), and medical history in the family and close encountered persons of 9 patients (27.27%).Eight patients (24.24%) complained of sore throat, 7 patients (21.21%) of itching. Vesicular lesions weremonitored in the palms and soles of 31 patients (93.93%) and in the mouths of 24 patients (72.72%). Themost frequent involvement site was hand palm (96.96%). Only 2 patients (6.06%) developed onychomadesisafter the disease.Conclusion: We have observed a female gender dominance unlike other studies. It should not be forgottenthat; although more common in children, the disease can be observed also in young adults, it can involvebody parts other than hand‐foot‐mouth, and long follow‐ups are important in the severe form of thedisease.

Özet

Öz Giriş: El ayak ağız hastalığı; ateş, el içi, ayak tabanı ve ağızda veziküler lezyonlar ile karakterize, sıklıkla çocuklarda görülen viral bir enfeksiyondur. Biz de; 2015‐2017 tarihleri arasında Atatürk Eğitim ve Araştırma Hastanesi Dermatoloji Polikliniği’ne başvuran ve el ayak ağız hastalığı tanısı alan 33 hastanın klinik özelliklerini retrospektif olarak araştırmayı amaçladık. Materyal ve Metot: Dermatoloji polikliniğine başvuran ve klinik olarak el ayak ağız hastalığı tanısı konulan 33 hasta yaş, cins, ateş, ağrı, yanma, kaşıntı gibi semptomların varlığı, lezyonların lokalizasyonu, aile ve atopi öyküsü açısından değerlendirildi. Bulgular: Çalışmaya alınan 33 hastanın yaş ortalaması 12,21±9,45 yıl (min‐maks: 1‐36) idi, 16 yaşından küçük 23 çocuk hasta ve 16 yaşından büyük 10 erişkin hasta vardı. Hastalık süresi ortalama 3,9±1,9 (min‐maks: 1‐7) olarak hesaplandı. Hastaların %36,36’sı (n=12) erkek idi. 26 (%78,78) hastada ateş öyküsü olup, 24’ünde (%72,72) subfebril bir ateş (37,5) varken, 2’ sinde (%6,06) 39 derece idi. 5 hastada (%15,15) atopi öyküsü, 9 hastada (%27,27)ailede ve yakın temasta olduğu kişilerde hastalık öyküsü vardı. Sekiz hasta boğaz ağrısı (%24,24), 7 hasta (%21,21) kaşıntıdan şikayetçi idi. 31 hastada (%93,93) el içi ve ayak tabanı, 24 hastada (%72,72) ağız içinde veziküler lezyonlar izlendi. En sık tutulan bölge el içi idi (%96,96). Hastalık sonrası sadece 2 hastada (%6,06) onikomadezis geliştiği görüldü. Sonuç: Yapılan diğer araştırmalardan farklı olarak çalışmamızda; el ayak ağız hastalığında kadın cinsiyet hakimiyeti gözlemledik. Çocuklarda daha sık olmasına rağmen özellikle genç erişkinlerde de hastalığın görülebileceği, el‐ayak‐ağız haricindeki vücut bölgelerini de tutabileceği, şiddetli formunda uzun takiplerin önemli olduğu unutulmamalıdır.
