Abstract

We undertook this study in order to determine the pattern and prevalence of childhood psoriasis in northern India and to highlight the differences and similarities with previous studies. In this retrospective epidemiologic study, the data from 419 children (less than 14 years of age) with psoriasis registered at the Psoriasis Clinic between January 1990 and December 2002 were included. The 419 children registered at the Psoriasis Clinic constituted 0.3% of the dermatology outpatients and 12.5% of the total psoriasis patients seen over a period of 13 years in the department. There were 219 (52.2%) boys and 200 (47.7%) girls, with a male to female ratio of 1.09 : 1. The age of onset ranged from 4 days to 14 years. The mean age of onset was 8.1 +/- 2.1 years in boys and 9.3 +/- 2.3 years in girls. The peak age of onset in boys was in the 6-10-year age group, whereas the majority of girls showed an onset of psoriasis between the ages of 10 and 14 years. A positive family history was present in only 19 (4.5%) patients. The extensors of the legs were the most common initial site affected [105 (25%) cases], followed by the scalp [87 (20.7%)]. Classical plaque psoriasis was the most frequent clinical presentation [254 (60.6%) patients]...Continue Reading
