Insights
Skin manifestations are common in children with early nervous system lesions. This study analyzed their frequency in ill versus healthy children across various age groups.
Area of Science:
- Pediatric Dermatology
- Neurology
- Clinical Research
Context:
- Investigated skin manifestations in children with inborn and early organic nervous system lesions.
- Compared findings with age-matched healthy children.
- Included diverse pediatric age groups, from newborns to schoolchildren.
Purpose:
- To determine the frequency of skin syndromes in ill children with neurological conditions.
- To analyze the prevalence of skin manifestations in both affected and healthy pediatric populations.
- To establish a comparative baseline for skin health in childhood neurological disorders.
Summary:
- Examined 1320 ill children, identifying 234 with skin syndromes (228 clinically assessed).
- Conducted control examinations on 2932 children (300 newborns, 507 preschool, 2125 school-aged).
- Analyzed the comparative frequency of skin manifestations across different pediatric groups.
Impact:
- Provides data on the association between neurological conditions and dermatological issues in children.
- Highlights the importance of monitoring skin health in pediatric patients with nervous system disorders.
- Establishes epidemiological insights into childhood skin syndromes.
Abstract:
Clinical studies of skin manifestations were accomplished in children with inborn and early organic lesions of the nervous system and in different age groups of normal children. A total of 1320 ill children were examined to reveal 234 with skin syndromes. Of this number, 228 children were examined clinically. 2932 children, including 300 newborns, 507 children of preschool age and 2125 schoolchildren were examined for control purposes. The frequency of skin manifestations in different groups of ill and normal children was analyzed.
