Skin Diseases and Disorders01:23

Skin Diseases and Disorders

Skin is the first line of defense and encounters a variety of microbes. Some pathogenic strains are often the cause of a broad range of infections of the skin and other body systems. These conditions can affect people of all ages and may have different causes, including genetic factors, infections, autoimmune reactions, environmental factors, and lifestyle choices.
Gram-positive Staphylococcus spp. and Streptococcus spp. are responsible for many of the most common skin infections. However, many...
Chickenpox01:20

Chickenpox

Chickenpox is an acute, highly contagious disease caused by the varicella-zoster virus (VZV), a double-stranded DNA virus belonging to the Herpesviridae family. Its transmission occurs primarily through the inhalation of respiratory droplets or direct contact with vesicular fluid from skin lesions. The incubation period typically ranges from 10 to 21 days, during which the virus replicates and disseminates through sequential phases within the host. Although generally self-limiting in children,...
Smallpox01:24

Smallpox

Smallpox is a severe contagious disease caused by the Variola major virus, a double-stranded DNA member of the Poxviridae family.Variola major transmission occurs primarily via inhalation of virus-laden droplets or direct contact with infectious scabs. The incubation period averages approximately seven days, although it may range from 7 to 17 days depending on the inoculum and host factors.Clinically, the prodromal phase is marked by an abrupt onset of high fever, malaise, headache, and myalgia.
Acne Infection01:27

Acne Infection

Acne is a multifactorial skin condition primarily affecting adolescents and young adults, with a global prevalence estimated to exceed 75% in this demographic. The condition is characterized by the formation of comedones (blackheads and whiteheads), papules, pustules, nodules, and, in severe cases, cysts, particularly in areas rich in sebaceous glands such as the face, neck, chest, and back. The pathogenesis involves increased sebum production, follicular hyperkeratinization, colonization by...
Multiple Sclerosis l: Introduction01:19

Multiple Sclerosis l: Introduction

Multiple sclerosis is a chronic autoimmune disease of the central nervous system (CNS) that affects the brain, spinal cord, and optic nerves. It is an inflammatory demyelinating disorder and a leading cause of neurological disability in young adults.EpidemiologyMS commonly begins between 20 and 40 years of age and is twice as common in women. Its exact cause remains unclear, but genetic susceptibility contributes, with higher risk in first-degree relatives and identical twins. A greater...
Skin Cancer01:30

Skin Cancer

Skin cancer is a type of cancer that occurs when there is an abnormal growth of skin cells, usually triggered by damage to the DNA within the skin cells. It is primarily caused by exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun or artificial sources like tanning beds. Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer worldwide, and its incidence continues to rise.
Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC): BCC is the most common type of skin cancer, accounting for about 80% of cases. It typically develops in...

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Dermatology
  • Immunodermatology
  • Dermatological Therapeutics

Background:

  • Psoriasis frequently affects children, often starting in the first two decades of life, causing significant emotional and psychological distress.
  • Pediatric psoriasis exhibits distinct characteristics from adult forms, including increased pruritus, thinner plaques, and common facial/flexural involvement, with guttate lesions being typical.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review current therapeutic approaches for pediatric psoriasis.
  • To highlight the differences in presentation and management between childhood and adult psoriasis.
  • To identify gaps in evidence regarding the long-term safety and efficacy of various treatments in children.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of studies on pediatric psoriasis treatment.
  • Analysis of clinical presentations and therapeutic responses in children.
  • Evaluation of topical, phototherapy, and systemic treatment options.

Main Results:

  • Mild childhood psoriasis is effectively managed with topical agents like emollients and corticosteroids.
  • Narrow-band UVB phototherapy is preferred for moderate-to-severe cases unresponsive to topical treatments.
  • Systemic therapies, including retinoids, methotrexate, cyclosporine, and biologics (etanercept, infliximab), are reserved for severe cases, though evidence from controlled trials in children is limited.

Conclusions:

  • Treatment of pediatric psoriasis requires careful consideration of age, affected sites, and disease severity.
  • Systemic treatments and phototherapy have limitations in children due to potential cumulative effects and toxicity.
  • Further evidence-based research is crucial to establish the long-term effectiveness and safety of all treatment modalities in pediatric psoriasis.
