“…However, during the last 10-20 years, several reports have described a considerable number of children with contact allergy and ACD (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(21)(22)(23)(24)(25)(26)(27)(28)(29)(30)(31)(32), confirming that contact allergy and ACD is not infrequent in children and may cause a significant clinical problem. Weston et al (33) estimated that ACD accounts for up to 20% of all dermatitis in childhood.…”

From a clinical point of view, the prevalence of allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) among children and adolescents seems to be low. However, many children have dermatitis, most often atopic dermatitis. In selected cases, ACD is suspected, and the child is tested. The question remains, whether the prevalence of ACD in children really is low or whether the possibility of ACD is not sufficiently considered. During the last decade, reports have appeared on series of children and adolescents with contact allergy and ACD. Few cases have been reported in infants, but the development of contact allergy and ACD increases with age. Most studies include selected groups of children and adolescents with suspected ACD. Few studies have examined unselected populations, and most consider only the prevalence of contact allergy without evaluating the clinical relevance, e.g., the prevalence of ACD. Furthermore, no follow-up studies exist. Therefore, the incidence and prevalence of contact allergy and ACD in children and adolescents is largely unknown.Key words: allergic contact dermatitis; contact allergy; Type IV allergy; patch testing; allergens; clinical relevance; children; adolescents; epidemiology; incidence; prevalence; atopic dermatitis; IgE-mediated hypersensitivity; Type I allergy. C Munksgaard, 1999. Accepted for publication 1 April 1999Allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) in children and adolescents is seen occasionally, and several reports on series of children and adolescents with ACD have appeared in the literature (1-7). The frequency of unselected children and adolescents with positive patch tests to standard series allergens is not negligible (8-10). About 8% of unselected adolescents are nickel allergic and about 2% react to fragrance mix (11). When the contact allergy develops, and what the consequences of a positive patch test result are for the individual child, is less clear. This review summarizes the current knowledge from an epidemiological and clinical point of view. Epidemiology Definitions and study designsThere are many definitions of epidemiology: one of the clearest is the study of occurrence of illness (12). The frequency of ACD can be expressed in terms of its incidence (the number of new cases of ACD during a defined period in a specific population) or its prevalence (the number of persons in the population with ACD at a certain point in time or during a certain period of time).The 3 most important types of observational study in the epidemiology of ACD are follow-up (cohort) studies, case-control studies and crosssectional studies.(i) In follow-up studies, selection of subjects is based upon exposure to factors of interest. In the prospective follow-up study, the person is exposed but free of the disease at the beginning of the study and is followed over a certain period of time. When both exposure and disease are historical, the study is described as a retrospective follow-up study. This design is less expensive than the prospective study. The measurement in follow-up studies is incidence.(ii) In ...

“…While some authors (Weston et al, 1986;Barros et al, 1991;Stables et al, 1996) detected similar prevalence in both boys and girls, other (Dotterund & Falk, 1995;Wantke et al, 1996;Goossens & Morren, 2006) reported a higher prevalence in girls. This is especially the case for nickel (Brasch & Geier, 1997;Wöhrl et al, 2003) and after the age of 12 (Rademaker & Forsyth, 1989;Rudzki & Rebandel, 1996;Katsarou et al, 1996;Goossens & Morren, 2006). Brasch & Geier (Brasch & Geier, 1997) found significantly more girls than boys reacted to nickel (25.0% vs. 4.5%).…”

“…Several studies have been performed in children with suspected CA or suffering from AD or chronic dermatitis. Patch testing in symptomatic children with dermatitis has revealed positive reactions in 15% to 52% of subjects (Rademaker & Forsyth, 1989;De Groot, 1990;Katsarou et al, 1996;Rudzki & Rebandel, 1996;Stables et al, 1996;Shah et al, 1997;Vozmediano & Hita, 2005;Goossens & Morren, 2006;Wahlberg & Lindgerg, 2006). Some authors have indicated that ACD is less prevalent in patients with AD (Uhr, 1960;Rystedt, 1985;De Groot, 1990;Katsarou et al, 1996;Stables et al, 1996;Brasch & Geier, 1997).…”

Çocukluk döneminde daha az alerjen teması riski veya immün sistemin bu dönemde kontakt duyarlılığının az olduğu kabul edilerek yakın zamana kadar çocuklarda AKD sıklığının diğer yaş gruplarına kıyasla daha düşük olduğu düşünülmekteydi [1][2][3][4][5][6][7] . Bununla birlikte çocuklarda AKD prevalansının değerlendirildiği çalışmalarda %14,5-70,7 arasında yama testi pozitiflik oranları bildirilmiştir [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11] .…”

ÖzetKontakt dermatitler çocuklarda da önemli deri sorunları arasındadır. Alerjik kontakt dermatitin sıklığının yaşla arttığı bilinmektedir. Yeni yayınlar çocuklarda duyarlanma oranlarının düşünülenden daha yüksek olduğunu göstermektedir. Çocuklarda en sık belirlenen alerjenler arasında nikel, parafenilen diamin, neomisin sülfat, thimerosal yer almaktadır. Çocukluk döneminde oluşan duyarlanma hayatın daha ileriki dönemlerinde kontakt dermatite yatkınlığa neden olabileceğinden, çocuklarda kontakt dermatit ve şüpheli alerjenin tespit edilmesi önemlidir. (Türk derm 2011; 45 Özel Sayı 2: 87-9) Anah tar Ke li me ler: Çocuklar, alerjik kontakt dermatit, kontakt alerjenler Sum maryContact dermatitis are among important skin diseases in the childhood period. The prevalance of allergic contact dermatitis is known to increase with age. Recent reports suggest that the rates of sensitization in children may be higher than was previously thought. The most common contact allergens in children are nickel, para-phenylenediamine diamine, neomycine sulphate, thimerosal. Contact dermatitis and identifying the suspected allergen in children is important as sensitization occurring during childhood may cause a susceptibility to the contact dermatitis later in their life. (Turk derm 2011; 45 Suppl 2: 87-9) Key Words: Children, allergic contact dermatitis, contact allergens Gi riflKontak dermatitler çocukluk döneminin önemli deri problemleri arasında yer almaktadır. Çocuklarda hem irritan hem de alerjik kontak dermatit (AKD) tipinde kontakt reaksiyonlar ortaya çıkmaktadır. Yenidoğan ve infantlarda derinin ince olması, deri yüzey alanı ile vücut ağırlığı oranındaki farklılıklar ve giysilerin temas ettiği alanların fazla olması gibi nedenlerle deriden madde emilimi fazladır. Benzer nedenlerle de yenidoğan ve infant döneminde deri kontakt dermatit için risk taşır 1-3 . İrritan Kontak DermatitlerÇocuklarda irritan kontak dermatit nedeni çocuğun yaşı ile ilişkilidir. Erken infant döneminde irritan kontakt dermatitin en sık formu diaper dermatitidir. Diaper dermatit, bebek bezinin altında kalan bölgede nem, friksiyon, üre ve dışkı gibi faktörlerin etkisiyle gelişir. Diaper dermatit gelişimine katkıda bulunan faktörler, bebek beziyle derinin uzun süreli oklüzyonu ve friksiyonu, fekal enzimlerin lipolitik ve proteolitik etkisi ve uzamış idrar maruziyeti ile ilişkili artmış nem ve pH'dır. Bu faktörlerin etkisiyle deri bariyeri zayıflar ve deri enzimatik aktivite, kimyasal irritanlar ve başlıca Kandida ve Stafikokus aureus olmak üzere sekonder bakteriyel ve fungal infeksiyonlara daha duyarlı bir hale gelir. 3 Hayatın ilk yıllarında ortaya çıkan diğer tablolar perianal dermatitlerdir. Perianal dermatitler hem mekanik nedenlerle hem de sindirilmemiş gıdaların temasıyla ortaya çıkmaktadır. Ev dışında oynamaya başlayan çocuklarda ise fito dermatitler ve fitofotodermatitler şeklinde ekzema tabloları oluşabilir 1 .
