“…Cuando dicho test es positivo puede estar indicado realizarlo en el frotis faríngeo: hasta un 80% podrían presentar colonización faríngea por EBHGA 6 , aunque otros autores encuentran menor prevalencia 8 . Se realizó a tres de los pacientes, con resultado negativo.…”

“…Si solo se usa tratamiento oral, las recurrencias parecen ser menores, con antibióticos resistentes a las β-lactamasas, pero todavía se necesita más investigación al respecto 3 . También se cita el tratamiento tópico único como terapia inicial 2,8 . En caso de recurrencia, la amoxicilina-clavulánico es de elección, y la cefuroxima una alternativa válida 10 .…”

Thinking of perianal dermatitis Introducción: la dermatitis perianal es una entidad infradiagnosticada, habitualmente producida por el estreptococo β-hemolítico del grupo A (EBHGA). La epidemiología, clínica y complicaciones están ampliamente descritas en la bibliografía. El diagnóstico es microbiológico y el tratamiento de elección asocia antibioterapia oral y tópica. Objetivo: describimos el cuadro clínico y manejo de seis pacientes para mejorar el índice de sospecha clínico. Serie de casos: seis pacientes (cinco varones). Edades: de nueve meses a cinco años (media de tres años). Clínica: seis con eritema perianal, tres con dolor defecatorio, dos con prurito, una con vaginitis. Se realizó una detección rápida de antígeno estreptocócico en cinco pacientes, de los que cuatro eran positivos inicialmente. En todos se recogió frotis rectal y en todos los cultivos creció EBHGA. Recibieron todos antibiótico oral (cinco penicilina y uno amoxicilina), asociando en cuatro mupirocina y en tres clotrimazol tópicos. Evolución satisfactoria. Discusión: los casos descritos concuerdan clínica y epidemiológicamente con la bibliografía. Es necesaria la sospecha clínica y el test rápido para el diagnóstico y tratamiento precoces. Introduction: perianal dermatitis is a misdiagnosed entity usually caused by group A beta-hemolytic streptococci (GABHS). Epidemiology, symptoms and complications are widely described in literature. The diagnosis is microbiological and the association of oral and topic antibiotic is the first choice of treatment. Objectives: we report the symptoms and management of six patients in order to improve the degree of clinical suspicion. Case-Series: patients: 6 (5 males). Ages: 9 months to 5 years (mode 3 years). Clinical presentation: 6 perianal rash, 3 rectal pain, 2 itching, 1 vaginitis. A rapid streptococcal test was done in 5 patients, 4 were initially positive. A rectum smear was taken in all patients, all of them showed GABHS growing. All patients were treated with oral antibiotic (5 penicillin, 1 amoxicillin), topic mupirocine was associated in 4 and clotrimazol in 3 patients. Satisfactory evolution. Discussion: the cases showed are clinical and epidemiologically concordant with the literature. Clinical suspicion and a rapid streptococcal test are necessary to get an early diagnosis and treatment.

“…However, the term “cellulitis” was later considered inaccurate, since inflammation involves only the skin[4,20]. The more appropriate term of “perianal streptococcal dermatitis” was introduced by Krol[20] in 1990 and used both in pediatric[8,9,12,13,17,19,20,22,24,34-36,39-47,49,51-53,55] and adult cases[71-75]. The terms “anitis”[13,55] and “anusitis”[67] were also used, but only in a few papers.…”

“…However, the main reason for this unknown incidence is considered the fact that PID remains too often unrecognized by healthcare professionals. PID appears all over the world and has been reported by authors in various countries from different continents, including the United States[2,4,5,23,25,26,28,32,38,43,46,57,59,61-63], Canada[3,20,40], Australia[11,33], Africa (Egypt[15]), Europe (United Kingdom[7,10,29,30,65], Spain[6,19,21,31,42,64], Italy[22,35,39,47,48], The Netherlands[36,60], Finland[37], Sweden[41,50], Germany[8,9,45], Denmark[27], Switzerland[12,17,54], France[13,16,55], Greece[58]), Asia (India[44], Taiwan[49], Japan[51,52], Iran[56]), Israel[14,18] and Turkey[53]. It appears that no cases have been published from Eastern Europe.…”

Perianal infectious dermatitis: An underdiagnosed, unremitting and stubborn condition

Perianal infectious dermatitis (PID) represents a superficial inflammation of the perianal skin, which is of bacterial origin (classically, group A beta-hemolytic streptococci). This narrative review aims to critically review and summarize the available scientific literature regarding pediatric PID, being the first of its kind, to the best of the author’s knowledge. It also reports the first cases of Romanian children with PID. Multiple databases were subjected to systematic literature search (from 1966 to April 30, 2018) to identify studies and case reports of children with PID. As such, this review provides updated information about essential aspects of PID (epidemiology, etiology, pathogenesis, as well as clinical features, required investigations and therapeutic options) and of diagnostic pitfalls. Although a well-defined entity, PID remains largely underdiagnosed. PID may mimic other common conditions with skin manifestations (like candidiasis, pinworms, eczema, irritant dermatitis, anal fissure, hemorrhoids, Crohn’s disease, psoriasis, seborrheic dermatitis, zinc deficiency dermatosis and even sexual abuse), with consequent unnecessary, sometimes expensive and invasive investigations and futile therapies, which cause patients and families discomfort and distress. Since PID has an unremitting course, early recognition is imperative, as it allows for prompt and efficacious antibiotic therapy. However, PID represents a stubborn condition and, even if properly treated, its recurrence rate remains high. Further well-designed prospective randomized controlled trials, with adequate follow-up, are required in order to formulate the optimum personalized antibiotic therapy (oral alone or in association with topical medication), able to prevent recurrences. Awareness of this condition by healthcare professionals should improve patient outcomes.

Perianal streptococcal disease in childhood: systematic literature review

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Group A Streptococcus has been associated with a perianal infection. We conducted a systematic review of the literature on childhood streptococcal perianitis in three databases: Excerpta Medica, National Library of Medicine, and Web of Science. The main purposes were to document the clinical features, the tendency to recur, the association with an asymptomatic streptococcal throat carriage, the accuracy of rapid streptococcal tests, and the mechanism possibly underlying the acquisition of this infection. More than 80% of cases are boys ≤7.0 years of age with defecation disorders, perianal pain, local itch, rectal bleeding, or fissure and a sharply demarcated perianal redness. Perianitis is associated with a streptococcal tonsillopharyngitis in about every fifth case. The time to diagnosis is ≥3 weeks in 65% of cases. Recurrences occur within 3½ months in about 20% of cases. An asymptomatic group A streptococcal throat carriage occurs in 63% of cases. As compared with perianal Streptococcus A culture, the rapid streptococcal tests have a positive predictive value of 80% and a negative predictive value of 96%. It is hypothesized that digital inoculation from nasopharynx to anus underlies perianitis. Many cases are likely caused directly by children, who are throat and nasal carriers of Streptococcus A. Some cases might occur in children, who have their bottoms wiped by caregivers with streptococcal tonsillopharyngitis or carriage of Streptococcus.Conclusion: Perianitis is an infection with a distinctive presentation and a rather long time to diagnosis. There is a need for a wider awareness of this condition among healthcare professionals. What is Known:• Group A Streptococcus may cause perianitis in childhood.• Systemic antimicrobials (penicillin V, amoxycillin, or cefuroxime) are superior to topical treatment. What is New:• The clinical presentation is distinctive (defecation disorders, perianal pain, local itch, rectal bleeding, or fissure and a sharply demarcated perianal redness).• The time to diagnosis is usually ≥3 weeks.Recurrences occur in about 20% of cases.
