ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION: Atopic dermatitis is a common and increasingly prevalent disorder. The International Study of Asthma and Allergies in Childhood (ISAAC) made a major contribution to the understanding of its epidemiology. OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to estimate the prevalence and severity of atopic dermatitis in a representative sample of 6 to 7-year-old and 13 to 14-year-old children from the province of Granada, Spain, using validated questionnaires and to analyze potential differences between coastal and inland regions. MATERIAL AND METHODS: This was a descriptive cross-sectional observational study of schoolchildren from Granada, Spain, aged between 6 and 7 years and 13 and 14 years. The main instrument was the core questionnaire module for dermatitis used in phase I of the ISAAC study. RESULTS: Statistically significant differences were found in Granada schoolchildren aged 6 to 7 years in terms of prevalence of dermatitis at some time, typical site, resolution in the last 12 months, and diagnosis of atopic dermatis. No significant differences were observed on comparison of the prevalence of atopic dermatitis between coastal and inland populations. Finally, in the comparison of schoolchildren aged 6 to 7 years, we observed almost significant differences for dermatitis at some time, resolution in the last 12 months, and diagnosis of atopic dermatitis on considering age and geographic location of the study population. CONCLUSIONS: The prevalence of atopic dermatitis is similar in the coastal population and the provincial capital. In terms of clinical symptoms and disease course, atopic dermatitis tends to stabilize with age.

Introducción. La dermatitis atópica (DA) es una enfermedad frecuente cuya prevalencia se ha incrementado progresivamente. En el conocimiento sobre su epidemiología ha desempeñado un papel muy importante el estudio ISAAC (International Study of Asthma and Allergy in Childhood).Objetivos. Estimar la prevalencia y gravedad de la DA en niños de 6-7 y 13-14 años de la provincia de Granada a partir de una muestra representativa mediante encuestas validadas y analizar si existen diferencias, comparando las zonas costeras con el interior. Material y métodos. Diseño observacional descriptivo transversal de base escolar. La población de estudio fue el alumnado de 6-7 y 13-14 años de Granada. Como instrumento de medición se utilizó el «cuestionario central para dermatitis» que el estudio ISAAC empleó en su primera fase. Resultados. Respecto a la prevalencia de síntomas en escolares granadinos según edad, se observaron diferencias estadísticamente significativas en escolares de 6-7 años en cuanto a «prevalencia de dermatitis alguna vez», «localización típica», «desaparición en los últimos 12 meses» y «diagnóstico de DA». Respecto a la prevalencia según zona geográfica, no hemos encontrado diferencias estadísticamente significativas. Finalmente, objetivamos diferencias casi significativas para la población de 6-7 años en la prevalencia de «dermatitis alguna vez», «desaparición en los últimos 12 meses» y «diagnóstico de DA» al relacionar los síntomas con la edad y la zona geográfica de la población de estudio. Conclusiones. La población costera y la de la capital ofrecen una prevalencia similar. Bajo una perspectiva clínico-evolutiva la dermatitis atópica tiene tendencia a estabilizarse con la edad (AU)

El Edema agudo hemorrágico del lactante (EHA) es una vasculitis leucocotoclástica, aguda y benigna que cursa con manifestaciones clínicas limitadas habitualmente a la piel. Aunque propia de niños con edades comprendidas entre los 4 y los 24 meses, se ha descrito también en el periodo neonatal. Se considera que puede asociarse a infecciones, vacunaciones o ingesta de fármacos. Plantea interesantes problemas nosológicos (relación con el Síndrome de Schönlein-Henoch, SSH) y de diagnóstico diferencial (AU)

La celulitis orbitaria comprende dos patologías bien diferenciadas desde un punto de vista anatomoclínico: la forma preseptal y la postseptal. Constituye una enfermedad infecciosa relativamente frecuente en la edad pediátrica que, normalmente, es secundaria a sinusitis. Presentamos una revisión de esta patología haciendo especial hincapié en el cambio etiológico acontecido en la última década tras la vacunación sistemática contra Haemophilus influenzae tipo B. (AU)
