Abstract

Introduction: The child's skin diseases are common and very diverse. Many studies concerning pediatric dermatoses have been carried out in Africa and the rest of the world. Few epidemioclinical data reflect these skin diseases in children, especially in the east coast of Madagascar. We aim to describe the pattern skin diseases among children seen at the University Hospital Center Morafeno, Toamasina, Madagascar. Patients and Methods. A retrospective study over a 3-year period from January 2017 to December 2019 was conducted in children seen in the Dermatology Department of University Hospital Center Morafeno, Toamasina, with skin diseases.

Results: During the study period, 347 children out of the 1584 new patients were retained with a sex ratio of 0.86. The mean age was 6.4 years old. The main diseases identified were skin infectious diseases (43, 23%), allergic dermatoses (24.21%), and autonomous dermatosis (15.56%).

Conclusion: Our study revealed the importance of infectious and allergic dermatoses in Toamasina. It is necessary to carry out simple preventive actions such as hygiene.

马达加斯加Toamasina Morafeno大学医院中心儿童皮肤病的临床流行病学研究

儿童的皮肤病很常见，而且种类繁多。在非洲和世界其他地区开展了许多关于儿童皮肤病的研究。很少有流行病学临床数据反映这些皮肤病在儿童中，特别是在马达加斯加东海岸。我们的目的是描述在马达加斯加Toamasina Morafeno大学医院中心看到的儿童皮肤病的模式。患者和方法。2017年1月至2019年12月，对在托阿马西纳大学医院中心莫拉菲诺皮肤科就诊的皮肤病儿童进行了一项为期3年的回顾性研究。结果:在研究期间，1584例新患者中有347例儿童保留，性别比为0.86。平均年龄为6.4岁。主要疾病为皮肤感染性疾病(43.23%)、变应性皮肤病(24.21%)和自发性皮肤病(15.56%)。结论:我们的研究揭示了传染性和变应性皮肤病在Toamasina中的重要性。有必要采取简单的预防措施，如卫生。
