Analysis of children superficial fungal infections

Abstract

Abstract:

Objective To explore the epidemiological characteristics and influencing factors of superficial fungal infections in children. Methods The superficial fungal examination results of 8343 children aged 0-14 who visited the dermatology department of our hospital from October 2018 to September 2019 were collected, and the superficial fungal infection and morbidity characteristics were analyzed combined with the gender, age, season, temperature and humidity. Results The superficial fungal infection rate of children was 17.20% (1435/8343), including 144 cases of tinea capitis, 235 cases of body ringworm, 27 cases of hand ringworm, 183 cases of onychomycosis, 55 cases of jock itch and 791 cases of tinea pedis, in which the tinea pedis accounted for the highest proportion, reaching 55.12%. According to the chi-square test, the overall detection rate of mycelium in children was higher than that of spores (P<0.001), and the detection rate of spores was higher than that of mycelia in children with tinea capitis (P<0.001), while the detection rates of mycelium were higher than that of spores in children with onychomycosis, tinea cruris and tinea pedis (P<0.001). The rate of superficial fungal infection in males was higher than that in females (P<0.001), children aged 0-3 had the lowest infection rate (P<0.001), and the infection rate was the highest in summer while lowest in winter (P=0.002). There were certain infection sites differences in different genders, ages and seasons. Correlation analysis showed that the rate of superficial fungal infection in children was significantly related to the monthly average temperature. The higher the temperature, the higher the infection rate (P<0.001). There was no correlation between the infection rate in children and relative humidity (P=0.966). Conclusion Superficial fungal infections are one of the important factors that cause children's skin symptoms. The detection rates of mycelium and spores of different types of superficial fungal infections have certain differences. Gender, age, season and temperature are important factors affecting children's superficial fungal infections.

Key words: superficial fungal infection, mycelium, spores, season, temperature and humidity
