Pattern Of Different Eczema Among Outdoor Patients Attended Faridpur Medical College Hospital, Faridpur, Bangladesh

Abstract: Eczematous dermatitis is very common in our country and all over the world. The aim of current study was to assess the burden, frequency and pattern of different eczema at outpatient department of Faridpur Medical College Hospital in the year 2009. Retrospective data were collected from medical records of patient. Patients of all ages & both sexes attending at the dermatology outpatient department of Faridpur Medical College Hospital in the year 2009 suffering from different eczema were included in this study. The frequency of eczema among patients attending at outpatient department of Faridpur Medical College Hospital was 12.8%, and the male to female ratio was almost 1:1. The most affected age group among patients was 0-5 years. Of all cases of eczema, 77.05% were endogenous and 22.52% were exogenous. The most common type of eczema was seborrhoeic dermatitis (27.17% of all cases), followed by contact dermatitis (20.00%) and Hand eczema (14.18%). Seborrhoeic dermatitis is commonest in young adult (21- 45 yrs), whereas atopic dermatitis is common in infant and children (0-10 yrs). Eczema is a public health problem in Faridpur, Bangladesh, and this necessitates prospective studies to determine its incidence and prevalence.

Common allergens in patients of chronic eczema by patch testing with European standard series

Abstract: Objective To determine the common allergens in patients with chronic eczema by applying European Standard series. Methods This study was conducted at the Dermatology Department Unit II KEMU/Mayo Hospital, Lahore. Seventy five patients aged 12 years and above of either sex having chronic eczema were enrolled. Patients using oral corticosteroids and immunosuppressive drugs during the last 15 days, as well as, pregnant females were excluded from the study. Each patient was patch tested with allergens of European Standard series. Positive reactions were observed and recorded after 48, 72 and 120 hours, according to International Contact Dermatitis Research Group Criteria . Results There were a total of 75 patients, 37 females and 38 males. Their age ranged from 13 to 45 years. Mean duration of the disease was 2.25 years. Positive reactions were noted in 52% of patients. Most common allergens were potassium dichromate (24%), nickel sulfate (17.3%), cobalt (17.3%) and tixocortol (10.4%). Conclusion More than 50% of cases with chronic eczema reacted positively to various allergens so patch test must be applied to such patients to determine its cause. Metals were the mains allergens detected.

Abstract: The prevalance of eczemas and their distributions according to the age groups in Odemi�_/ Izmir region Purpose: The aim of this study is to determine the frequency and types of eczemas and their distribution according to the age groups in our region. Material-Method: The 29441 patients admitted to the Dermathology polyclinics between January 2010 and May 2011 were retrospectively analysed from the automation record system. The patients were grouped according to the demographic data and diagnosis. In order to compare the distributions of the patient groups according to the various age groups, the patients were evaluated in 11 different categories: 0-2, 2-6, 6-12, 12-19, 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60-69, 70-79 and upon 80 years old. Results: When the endogenous and exogenous eczemas were evaluated; the ratio of endogenous eczemas was higher than the exogenous ones in males and females. The ratio of endogenous and eczogenous eczemas was 17.1% and 8.8%, respectively. When the endogenous eczema subgroups were evaluated according to the age groups, in 0-2, 2-6 and 6-12 age groups atopic dermatitis, in 12-19, 20-29, 30-39, 40-49 age groups seborrheic dermatitis, in 50-59 age group seborrheic dermatitis and neurodermatitis, 60-69, 70-79 and upon 80 years old age groups ateatatic eczema was found in the highest rates. Seborrheic dermatitis (4.3%), atopic dermatitis (2.9%) and asteatatic eczema (2.5%) were the most frequent groups among the endogenous eczemas. Conclusion: In our study, the total rate of endogenous and exogenous eczemas was found to be 25.9%. (Anatol J Clin Investig 2011;5(4):173-180).

Modelling of temporal exposure to the ambient environment and eczema severity

Abstract: Atopic eczema is a common and complex disease. Missing genetic hereditability and increasing prevalence in industrialising nations point towards an environmental driver. We investigated the temporal association of weather and pollution parameters with eczema severity. This cross-sectional clinical study was performed between May 2018 and March 2020 and is part of the Tower Hamlets Eczema Assessment. All participants had a diagnosis of eczema, lived in East London, were of Bangladeshi ethnicity and were less than 31 years of age. The primary outcome was the probability of having an EASI score > 10 after prior ambient exposure to commonly studied meteorological variables and pollutants. There were 430 participants in EASI ≤ 10 and 149 in EASI >10 groups. By using logistic generalized additive models and a model selection process, we found that tropospheric ozone (O3) averaged over the preceding 270 days was strongly associated with eczema severity alongside the exposure to fine particles with diameters of 2.5 μm or less (PM2.5) averaged over the preceding 120 days. In our models and analyses PM2.5 appeared to largely act in a supporting role to O3. We demonstrate that long-term exposure to ground-level ozone at high levels has the strongest association with eczema severity.
