Abstract

Background and Design: In this study, our aim was to determine clinical and demographical characteristics of patients with alopecia areata in our region. Materials and Methods: In the study, we evaluated 100 patients (44 female, 56 male; age range: 2-52 years) who applied to the outpatient clinic of Dicle Medical Faculty Dermatology Department between October and November 2009 and received the diagnosis of alopecia areata. Results: The male:female ratio was 1.2:1, the mean age was 19.19±10.93 years. Alopecia areata was present in 90 (90%) patients, alopecia totalis in 5 (5%), and alopecia universalis in 5 (5%) patients. The age of the disease onset was below the age of 20 years in 64% of patients. In 77.2% of patients, mild and in 22.8% of patients, severe scalp involvement was detected. There was no significant relationship of the severity of the disease in the scalp with gender and the disease onset period (p=0.62, p=0.22).Nail involvement was detected in 43%, mostly as pitting (39.5%) and longitudinal ridging (39.5%). No significant relationship was found between disease severity in the scalp and nail involvement (p=0.08). A family history was present in 22% of patients. There was no significant relationship of family history with the onset period of the disease and the disease severity in the scalp (p=0.13, p=0.07). Conclusion: Our results were found to be consistent with the clinical and demographic data obtained in previous studies. (Turkderm 2013; 47: 155-7)

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışmada bölgemizde görülen alopesi areatalı hastaların klinik ve demografik özelliklerinin belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmamızda Ocak Kasım 2009 tarihleri arasında Dicle Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi, Deri ve Zührevi Hastalıklar Anabilim Dalı polikliniğine başvuran hastalar arasında alopesi areata tanısı alan yaşları 2-52 arasında değişen 100 hasta değerlendirildi. Bulgular: Çalışmaya alınan 100 hastanın 44ü kadın (%44), 56sı erkek (%56) idi. Erkek: kadın oranı 1,2: 1, yaş ortalaması 19,19±10,93 yıl idi. Hastaların 90ında (%90) alopesi areata, 5inde (%5) alopesi totalis, 5inde (%5) alopesi üniversalis mevcuttu. Hastaların %64ünde hastalığın başlangıç yaşı 20 yaş altında saptandı. Saçlı deride hastaların %77,2sinde hafif, %22,8inde şiddetli tutulum tespit edildi. Saçlı deride hastalık şiddeti ile cinsiyet ve hastalık başlangıç dönemi arasında anlamlı bir ilişki bulunmadı (p=0,62, p=0,22). Tırnak tutulumu %43 olarak saptandı. Tırnak tutulum tipi olarak en sık pitting (%39,5) ve longitudinal çizgilenme (%39,5) görüldü. Saçlı deride hastalık şiddeti ve tırnak tutulumu arasında anlamlı bir ilişki bulunmadı (p=0,08). Hastaların %22sinde aile hikayesi mevcuttu. Aile hikayesi ile hastalığın başlangıç dönemi ve saçlı deride hastalık şiddeti arasında anlamlı bir ilişki bulunmadı (p=0,13, p=0,07). Sonuç: Çalışmamızın sonuçları daha önce yapılan klinik ve demografik çalışmaların verileriyle uyumlu bulunmuştur. (Türkderm 2013; 47: 155-7)
