“…In many western studies, 2-4 atopic dermatitis was found to be most common dermatoses whereas studies from developing countries usually demonstrate infectious diseases as the most common. [5][6][7] Our study also found infectious diseases as the most common dermatoses and among the infectious diseases the frequency of viral warts were prominent with a clear cut edge.…”

Background:The field of pediatric dermatology has gained importance with the increment of pediatric patients and the discrepancy of their skin diseases with the adult versions. We aimed to describe frequency and distribution of pediatric skin diseases, and the diagnostic procedures and treatments prescribed. Methods: Cross-sectional epidemiological study. We collected data about diagnostic patterns, diagnostic methods and treatment modalities in pediatric dermatology outpatient clinic visits over 18 months. Results: Infectious diseases (27.9%) and among them viral warts (17.5%) were the most prevalent diagnoses, followed by acne-acneiform diseases (19.9%) and allergic diseases (14.5%). Among the diagnostic tests histopathology was required in 5.2%, usually to diagnose inflammatory and tumoral lesions. Topical treatments (49.3%) were followed by systemic treatments (32.4%) in majority of cases. Conclusions: Viral warts were among the most common dermatoses, and preventive measures for HPV transmission should become important part of public health efforts in children.

“…Jean et al (19) reported that dialysis patients without nasal carriage of S. aureus are of nominally significant older age (68 [12] years) than carriers (58.6 [15] years; P,0.001). Skin infections are significantly less common in patients ages$75 compared with 65-74 years, and they continue to decrease among octogenarians (20,21). Aging is also associated with diminished response of the sweat glands to thermal stimuli, structural alteration in the eccrine glands, and reduced sweat output (22).…”

Background and objectives Elderly patients require tunneled central vein dialysis catheters more often than younger patients. Little is known about the risk of catheter-related bloodstream infection in this population. Results In total, 374 nonelderly and 90 elderly patients with mean (SD) ages of 54.8 (12.3) and 81.3 (4.9) years and dialysis vintages of 1.8 (3.3) and 1.5 (2.9) years (P=0.47), respectively, were identified. Mean at-risk catheter-days were 272 (243) in nonelderly and 318 (240) in elderly patients. Between age groups, there were no significant differences in initial catheter site, type of catheter lock solution, or microbiology results. A total of 208 catheterrelated bloodstream infection events occurred (190 events in nonelderly and 18 events in elderly patients), with a catheter-related bloodstream infection incidence per 1000 catheter-days of 1.97 (4.6) in nonelderly and 0.55 (1.6) in elderly patients (P,0.001). Relative to nonelderly patients, the hazard ratio for catheter-related bloodstream infection in the elderly was 0.33 (95% confidence interval, 0.20 to 0.55; P,0.001) after multivariate analysis.Conclusion Elderly patients on hemodialysis using tunneled central vein dialysis catheters are at lower risk of catheter-related bloodstream infection than their younger counterparts. For some elderly patients, tunneled central vein dialysis catheters may represent a suitable dialysis access option in the setting of nonmaturing arteriovenous fistulae or poorly functioning synthetic grafts.

“…En muchos estudios occidentales, 2-4 se halló que la dermatosis más frecuente es la dermatitis atópica, mientras que estudios realizados en países en vías de desarrollo demuestran que las enfermedades infecciosas son las más habituales. [5][6][7] Según nuestro estudio, las enfermedades infecciosas también son las dermatosis más frecuentes, y entre estas, las verrugas virales con bordes definidos fueron predominantes.…”

“…[2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10] De hecho, varían notablemente los patrones entre los distintos grupos etarios; por lo tanto, en el futuro, el campo de la dermatología pediátrica debería dividirse en dermatología neonatal, dermatología pediátrica y dermatología adolescente.…”
