Abstract

Background: Superficial fungal infection is a common skin disease among children, causing morbidity and reducing quality of life. The disease's prevalence and etiological agents change with geographic area, age, humidity, and sex. The data on this matter is still limited in Indonesia. Purpose:  To determine the current epidemiologic and sociodemographic features of superficial fungal infection among children. Methods: This descriptive study examined all the pediatric inpatients and outpatients at the Department of Dermatology and Venerology of East Java suburban Public Hospital in Indonesia from 2016 to 2020 who met the inclusion criteria. Result:  From 2016 to 2020, the number of fungal infection patients was 12.3% (n = 175) among 1,427 dermatology patients. Pityriasis versicolor (PVC) is the most common fungal skin disease (4.1%), followed by tinea capitis (2.2%), tinea cruris (1.6%), and tinea corporis (1.4%). Subjects aged 6 to 12 years old were the most likely to be infected with a fungus. Boys were more likely to develop this infection. Conclusion: From 2017 to 2020, there was a downward trend in children's superficial fungal infections. Pityriasis versicolor (PVC) is a fungal skin ailment that cause the most cases compared to other fungal infections. Boys and children between the ages of 6 to 12 years old were the most susceptible to fungal infection.
东爪哇郊区公立医院儿童浅表真菌感染的流行病学和社会人口学特征
背景:浅表真菌感染是儿童常见的皮肤病,发病率高,生活质量低。该病的患病率和病因随地理区域、年龄、湿度和性别而变化。在印度尼西亚,关于这一问题的数据仍然有限。目的:了解儿童浅表真菌感染的流行病学和社会人口学特征。方法:本描述性研究对2016 - 2020年印度尼西亚东爪哇郊区公立医院皮肤性病科所有符合纳入标准的儿科住院和门诊患者进行调查。结果:2016 - 2020年,1427例皮肤科患者中真菌感染患者占12.3% (n = 175)。花斑糠疹(PVC)是最常见的真菌性皮肤病(4.1%),其次是头癣(2.2%)、股癣(1.6%)和体癣(1.4%)。6至12岁的受试者最有可能感染真菌。男孩更容易患上这种感染。结论:2017 - 2020年,儿童浅表真菌感染呈下降趋势。花斑糠疹(PVC)是一种真菌性皮肤疾病,与其他真菌感染相比,引起的病例最多。男孩和6至12岁的儿童最容易受到真菌感染。
