“…4,9,10,12,[15][16][17] Of the infective dermatoses, bacterial infections (14.5%) were the most common, followed by parasitic (10.9%), fungal (8.1%) and viral infections (7.6%). Similar pattern has been observed by Sardana et al, Karthikeyan et al and Sharma et al 1,13,18 Hayden et al reported 17.4% incidence and Negi et al reported 15.6% incidence of bacterial infections in their studies. 4,19 Sayal et al reported fungal infections to be more common while Wenk and Itin and Gul et al observed viral infections to be the most common.…”

It was observed that vitiligo was more in girls (27 out of 32 cases) than boys (5 out of 35 cases) and this resembled with the study of Valia et al who also reported it to be more in girls than boys.…”

INTRODUCTIONCutaneous disorders in children are common and are either transitory or chronic and recurrent. Monitoring their epidemiology helps in effectively planning relevant educational programs and preventive measures. Dermatological problems manifesting as primary and secondary cutaneous complaints constitute at least 30% of all outpatient visits to a pediatrician and 30% of dermatological outdoor consultation constitutes children. 2,3Measurement of impact of pediatric dermatoses is an important component of primary health care practice and is required to aid for clinical research and for allocation of more resources for the care of the children. The evaluation for skin disorders are an important component of primary health care practice for all including children. 4 Pediatric dermatoses vary vastly from adult dermatoses in terms of clinical presentation, treatment and prognosis, thereby generating special interest in this field and requiring a separate view. Socio-economic status, external environment, climatic exposure and dietary ABSTRACT Background: Pediatric dermatoses vary vastly from adult dermatoses in terms of clinical presentation, treatment and prognosis, thereby generating special interest in this field. The present study was carried to find out the spectrum, pattern and incidence of various skin disorders in infants and preschool children (upto 5 years), to correlate their prevalence with age, sex and rural/urban residential status. Methods: 1000 children under five years age , were evaluated for the presence of skin disease to study the pattern and incidence of these disorders and establish their relationship with age, sex and residential status (rural/urban).Skin disorders were described in detail and classified into groups like bacterial, fungal, parasitic, viral, eczematous, allergic, papulosquamous, pigmentary, miscellaneous. Results: Maximum number of children belonged to age group of less than 1 year (31.6%). Male patients (56.6%) outnumbered female patients (43.4%). 56.8% children belonged to urban area while 43.2% children were from rural area. Maximum incidence was of infections (41.1%). Of these infections, bacterial infections (14.5%) were the predominant followed by parasitic infections (10.9%). Eczematous skin disorders were the next common entity after infections seen in 35.1 % children followed by that of allergic disorders seen in 5.9% children. Conclusions: There is preponderance of infectious dermatoses among the under five population followed by eczematous and hypersensitivity disorders. The role of poverty, overcrowding, poor personal hygiene and low level of health education, undernutrition and consequent poor immunity are emphasized by these preventable diseases.

HIS REPORT reviews the advances in T ferrous metallurgical analysis from October 1964 to December 1966. As in the past (58), it draws extensively from abstracts and is not intended to be a complete compilation of the papers published in the field.The increased use of fast steelmaking, processes, vacuum deoxidation, and continuous casting techniques has greatly influenced the need for rapid and automated ferrous nietallurgical analytical methods (14). In addition, stringent requirements on steel composition by steel users have forced the analytical chemist to search not only for rapid, but also for more accurate analytical methods. The majority of methods found in the literature still involve modifications of well established techniques and procedures rather than the introduction of new approaches.Greatest progress was made in the application of atomic absorption spectrometry (502) and neutron activation techniques (335, 557) to the routine analysis of iron, iron ores, slags, and steels, and in the automation and computerization (166) of chemical and instrumental methods.Present steel sampling and sample preparation techniques are generally too sloiv and inadequate for control of the new steelmaking processes and thus present the most apparent restriction to the rapid analytical methods. The realization of this problem was indicated by the relatively large number of papers published on sampling (95,428, 429,480, 605, 51 1 , 520) and on attempts for the direct analysis of molten steel (32,Emission and x-ray spectrometric, atomic absorption spectrophotometric, and other instrumental techniques with various degrees of automation became the most important means for better process and quality control. Chemical routine methods, even the automated ones, decreased in importance except in the field of nonmetallic inclusion isolation where there is a new renaissance in the use of chemical approaches (10,293,381).Schemes were given for the analyses of cast iron (484) and slags (288,417).Differential spectrophotometry (522) , electrochemical methods (380), atomic absorption spectrophotometry (502), gases in metals analysis (42, 214,242,265,364), and standard deviation of methods (132) in connection with steel analysis were reviewed. 158-161, 344, 366, 567). ALUMINUM Volumetric aluminum procedures involved variations of EDTA (156, 257, 331), bromatometric (440), and potentiometric (134) titrations. Xodifications of the 8-hydroxyquinoline (81 , I l Z ) , aluminon (120, 448, 487), eriochrome cyanin R (220, 22$), solochrome cyanine (411)) chrome azurol S (69, 77, 4 Z l ) , and alizarin red S calcium (106) spectrophotometric and of the 8-hydroxyquinoline spectrofluorometric (20300) methods were described. Most pro-cedures involved preliminary separations by mercury cathode (109, 200, +$do), solvent extraction (69, 212, 120, 200,309,411,448), precipitation (goo, 25'7), or ion exchange (509). 135,Aluminum was polarographically determined in stainless steel (4437, ferrotitanium (199)) and ferro-niobium (198). Neutron activation an...
