This study analyzed 200 vitiligo cases, finding generalized vitiligo most common, particularly on lower extremities. Associated skin findings included leukotrichia and Koebner phenomenon in a significant number of patients.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Autoimmune diseases

Background:

  • Vitiligo is a chronic autoimmune condition characterized by skin depigmentation.
  • Understanding the clinical presentation and epidemiological patterns of vitiligo is crucial for diagnosis and management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the clinical patterns and presentation of vitiligo in a cohort of 200 patients.
  • To identify demographic, clinical, and associated cutaneous features of vitiligo.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 200 vitiligo cases.
  • Data collection on patient demographics, vitiligo distribution, family history, and associated cutaneous findings.

Main Results:

  • Females showed a slightly higher incidence of vitiligo.

  • Generalized vitiligo was observed in 66% of cases.
  • The lower extremity was the most frequent site of involvement (30%).
  • A positive family history was reported in 24% of patients.
  • Associated cutaneous findings included leukotrichia (44%) and Koebner phenomenon (30%).

    • Conclusions:

    • Vitiligo presents with diverse clinical patterns, with generalized forms being most prevalent.
    • Specific demographic and clinical features, such as lower extremity involvement and associated cutaneous findings, are common.
    • Family history and specific cutaneous signs like leukotrichia and Koebner phenomenon are important considerations in vitiligo presentation.
