Abstract

Objective: Pityriasis amiantacea (PA) is characterized by thick, silvery, adherentscales, which surround the base of scalp hair. The exact cause of PAis unclear and it is claimed to be a reaction pattern of the scalp to variousinflammatory scalp conditions. In this study, we intended to describe theclinical features, to search the microbiologic etiology and to evaluate theassociated diseases.Methods: Archive files of 47 patients, who had attended to our clinic betweenJanuary 2009 and April 2010 and diagnosed with PA, were evaluated.Clinical properties, bacteriologic and mycological laboratoary resultsof all patients and histopathological diagnosis of 36 patients were recordedin the database.Results: The study population included 34 (72.3%) female patients and13(27.7%) male patients and showed a female predominance. Microbiologicalexamination revealed trichopyton spp. from one patient andbacterial isolates from 28 patients(%60). Identification of isolates showedcoagulase positive Staphylococcus aureus in 20 patients (%43) and coagulasenegative staphylocci in eight patients (17%). Follicular keratosis, diffusehyperkeratosis and parakeratosis were the common histopathologicalfindings. Pathological diagnosis of seborrehic dermatitis was detected in20 patients, psoriasis was detected in seven patients, tinea capitis was detectedin one patient, bacterial infection was detected in one patient andpemphigus vulgaris in one patient.Conclusion: Our study mainly showed an association of PA with seborrheicdermatitis and psoriasis as previously demonstrated but superficialfungal ve bacterial agents should also be kept in mind, since these mayhave therapeutic implications.

Özet

AAmaç: Pitiriyazis amiantasea (PA) üst üste kiremit tarzı dizilim gösteren, saç ve saçlı deriye yapışık, kalın, gümüş rengi skuamlarla karakterize bir tablodur. Sebebi bilinmemekle birlikte, çeşitli inflamatuar durumlara karşı saçlı derinin bir reaksiyonu olduğu düşünülmektedir. Bu çalışmada; kliniğimizde rastladığımız PA'lı hastaların kayıtlarını inceleyerek hastalığın klinik özellikleri, eşlik eden hastalıkları, etyopatogenezde rol oynayabilecek bakteriyel ve süperfisiyel fungal ajanları ortaya koymayı amaçladık. Yöntemler: Ocak 2009-Nisan 2010 tarihleri arasında kliniğimize başvuran ve PA tanısı konulan toplam 47 hastanın kayıtları geriye dönük olarak incelendi. Tüm hastaların lezyonlarının klinik özellikleri, bakteriyolojik inceleme, mantar KOH inceleme, mantar kültürü (SDA) sonuçları ve saçlı derisinden biyopsi alınan 36 hastanın histopatolojik inceleme sonuçları veri tabanına kaydedildi. Bulgular: Toplam 47 hastanın 34'ü (%72,3) kadın ve 13'ü (%27,7) erkeklerden oluşmak üzere, kadın hastalar daha sık gözlendi. Nativ inceleme, mantar kültürü ve bakteriyolojik inceleme yapılan 47 hastanın birinde trichophyton türü saptandı. Hastaların 28'inde (%60) bakteriyel kültürde üreme saptandı. İdentifikasyon sonuçları 20 hastada (%43) koagülaz pozitif Staphylococcus aureus, 8 hastada (%17) koagülaz negatif stafilokok türleri ile uyumlu bulundu. Otuzaltı hastadan alınan biyopsilerin histopatolojik inceleme sonuçlarında ortak bulgu, difüz hiperkeratoz, parakeratoz ve foliküler parakeratoz idi. Yirmi hastada seboreik dermatit, 7 hastada psöriyazis vulgaris, 1 hastada tinea kapitis, 1 hastada bakteriyel enfeksiyon ve 1 hastada pemfigus vulgaris ile uyumlu bulgular saptandı. Sonuç: Çalışmamızda PA'nın literatürde bildirilen örneklere benzer olarak en sık seboreik dermatit ve psöriyazis vulgaris ile ilişkili olduğu saptandı. Ancak, terapötik yaklaşımı etkileyeceği için yüzeyel fungal ve bakteriyel enfeksiyonların da etyopatogenezde rol oynayabileceği unutulmamalıdır
