BACKGROUND: Infectious skin disorders (ISDs) are commonly seen in pediatric emergency departments (PED), however the exact frequency is unknown. We provide an accurate evaluation of the incidence and characteristics of ISDs diagnosed in a PED from Buenos Aires, Argentina, over a 1-year period.
METHODS: Prospectively, descriptive study of children evaluated in the PED with ISDs during 2016. ISDs were analyzed on the basis of their incidence, patient demographics, seasonal variations, and hospitalization rates.
RESULTS: ISDs were diagnosed in 1680 (67.9%) of the skin consultations (M/F: 1.1; mean age: 4.4 ± 3.7 years). Bacterial infections were observed in 932 (55.5%) cases. Viral infections were seen in 604 patients (35.9%). Fungal and parasite skin infections were diagnosed in 33 (2%) and 111 (6.6%) children, respectively. The most frequent ISDs according to the etiology group were impetigo 377 (22.4%), varicella 397 (23.6%), tinea capitis 10 (0.6%), and scabies 109 (6.5%). A higher frequency of ISDs were reported during the summer (38.4%) and spring (38.2%) months. Bacterial skin infections were more frequent during the summer months, while viral skin infections were more prevalent during spring. Parasitic skin infections were diagnosed more frequently during the winter months. No differences were seen for mycotic skin infections. Hospitalization rate was 1% (all for bacterial skin infections).
CONCLUSION: Our data reveal the extremely high frequency of ISDs seen at the PED, underlying the need for closer cooperation between dermatologists and pediatricians.
