Abstract

Introduction: Newborn filiform periungual hyperkeratosis (NFPH) incidence and prevalence during the neonatal period remain unknown and have not been described in current literature. Timely diagnosis and treatment are essential to avoid complications during the neonatal period, such as acute paronychia.

Objective: The aim of our prospective observational study was to describe the characteristics of NFPH in neonates born in a referral hospital in Buenos Aires.

Results: One hundred patients were included. Most of them were male (60%). NFPH consists of hard, filiform elements, mostly present bilaterally in lateral nail folds. It was found in 46% of included patients. Prevalence was higher in the right hand. Due to a trend towards easy detachment and fracture, erosions were seen in several cases. Two cases of acute paronychia secondary to NFPH were diagnosed, with favorable outcomes after topical antibiotic treatment.

Conclusion: The importance of clinical examination for screening of this local predisposing factor for infection in neonatal patients is highlighted.

新生儿丝状角化周角化过度症：前瞻性观察研究

导言：新生儿丝状角化周角化过度症（NFPH）在新生儿期的发病率和流行率仍不清楚，目前的文献中也没有相关描述。及时诊断和治疗对避免新生儿期并发症（如急性脓疱疮）至关重要：我们的前瞻性观察研究旨在描述在布宜诺斯艾利斯一家转诊医院出生的新生儿中 NFPH 的特征：结果：共纳入 100 名患者。大多数患者为男性（60%）。NFPH由坚硬的丝状成分组成，大多出现在双侧甲沟。在 46% 的患者中发现了 NFPH。右手的发病率较高。由于容易脱落和断裂，一些病例出现了糜烂。有两例继发于 NFPH 的急性脓疱疮被确诊，经局部抗生素治疗后效果良好：结论：临床检查对于筛查新生儿患者的这种局部易感染因素非常重要。
