Classification of diaper dermatitis: an overview.

Authors:
J E Rasmussen

Pediatrician 1987 ;14 Suppl 1:6-10

Several types of diaper dermatitis are discussed: generic diaper dermatitis is most common and involves a simple erythema and mild scaling of the gluteal crease, buttocks, thighs, and lower abdomen. Candidal diaper dermatitis involves clinically significant infection with Candida albicans and presents as a sharply marginated area of erythema with significant involvement of the anterior thighs, genital creases, abdomen, and genitalia. Noduloulcerative diaper dermatitis may develop in a small percentage of patients who have chronic diaper dermatitis, as large, raised erosions with rolled margins. The lesions are most noticeable on the prominent body parts-genitalia, abdomen, thighs, and buttocks. Infantile seborrheic dermatitis involves a distinctive pattern of inflammation that usually begins beneath the diaper as a sharply marginated area of erythema with satellite lesions. Within 1-2 weeks, lesions develop on the scalp, cheeks, arms, legs, and intertriginous parts of the body. Impetigo is common in the diaper area, particularly in the first 6 months of life and during the warmer summer season. The lesions are usually bullous and represent infection by Staphylococcus aureus. Folliculitis appears as small, perifollicular erythematous papules and pustules, usually on the buttocks, thigh and lower abdomen. It is common in the warm summer months and is usually caused by bacteria such as S. aureus. Intertrigo categorizes disease that does not fit into the above categories. Often the patient presents with simple erythema of the folds without pustules or induration. This probably represents irritation and low-grade infection. It is important for the clinician to be aware that many other diseases can have manifestations in the diaper area.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Pediatric Gastroenterology, Adana City Training and Research Hospital, Dr. Mithatozsan Bulvari Kisla Mah. 4522 Sok. No: 1, 01415 Yuregir/Adana, Turkey.

Congenital sucrase-isomaltase deficiency (CSID) is a rare autosomal carbohydrate malabsorption disorder caused by mutations in the sucrase-isomaltase gene. While the prevalence of CSID is high in the indigenous populations of Alaska and Greenland, it is imprecise and ambiguous in the Turkish pediatric population. In this cross-sectional case-control study, which is retrospective in nature, next-generation sequencing (NGS) results obtained from records of 94 pediatric patients with chronic nonspecific diarrhea were reviewed.

Ulcerated diaper dermatitis: Child abuse mimicker.

Authors:
Stella A Caldas Emily Murphy Kaiane Habeshian Anna Yasmine Kirkorian Tanya Hinds

Pediatr Dermatol 2023 Jun 17. Epub 2023 Jun 17.

Division of Child and Adolescent Protection, Children's National Hospital, Washington, DC, USA.

Irritant diaper dermatitis is a common dermatologic problem among infants and young children. Severe erosive presentations, although uncommon, are diagnostically challenging and can mimic non-accidental trauma (NAT). Diagnosing inflicted injury and NAT where it does not exist can cause parental distress, yet failing to diagnose inflicted injury and NAT can result in re-injury. Read More
