ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Dermatologic comorbidities can be the clue for the diagnosis and treatment of systemic conditions and a need for dermatological expert opinion is increased.OBJECTIVE:
To analyze the patterns and to quantify the dermatologic consultations referred by the department of obstetrics and gynecology (OBGY).METHODS:
We retrospectively studied the data from 479 cases referred by OBGY for a dermatologic consultation during a three-year period in a tertiary hospital.RESULTS:
The most common skin disorder was pregnancy-related dermatoses (29.77%) in obstetric inpatients, while cutaneous infection (33.33%) was the most frequent in gynecologic inpatients. The distribution of the skin disorders in consulted OBGY inpatients was consistent with the previous reports. However, there were some differences, such as high proportion of infectious disease. Infectious skin diseases were significantly more frequent (p<0.001) in the chemotherapy group of gynecologic inpatients compared to that of the non-chemotherapy group, viral infection being the most common. In addition, superficial fungal infection accounted for the same proportion as the viral infection (37.50% each) among obstetrical inpatients. Maculopapular or urticarial eruption (51.52%) was the most common type of chemotherapy-related adverse drug reaction.CONCLUSION:
This study revealed the distribution of skin disorders in patients referred by OBGY for dermatologic consultation. Furthermore, it could be helpful as an educational material to assist cooperation between dermatology and OBGY.
