Eritema Multiforme Olgularının Değerlendirilmesi

Year 2008, Volume: 2 Issue: 3, 5 - 10, 01.04.2008

Abstract

Giriş ve Amaç: Eritema multiforme (EM) her yaşta görülebilen, genellikle infeksiyonlara ve ilaçlara bağlı gelişen, deri ve müköz membranları tutan akut inflamatuvar hipersensitivite reaksiyonudur. Pediatrik yaş grubunda çok az seri bildirilmiştir. Bu çalışmada kliniğimizde EM tanısıyla izlenen olguların değerlendirilmesi amaçlanmıştır.Hastalar ve Yöntem: Temmuz 2003 - Haziran 2004 tarihleri arasında EM ön tanısı ile yatırılarak izlenen 16 olgu; klinik bulgular, etyoloji, tedavi şekli ve hastalığın seyri açısından retrospektif olarak değerlendirildi.Bulgular ve Sonuçlar: 11 erkek, 5 kızdan oluşan olgu grubumuzda 8 ay-16 yaş (ortalama 5. 7 yaş 53.1 ay) arasında değişiyordu. 13 olguda ( % 81.2) tutulum deriye sınırlı iken, üçünde (% 18.8) mukozal tutulum da eşlik ediyordu. Olgularımızın EM lezyonlarının etyolojisinde ilk sırada enfeksiyonlar, daha sonra ilaçlar yer alırken, bir olgunun aşı sonrasında geliştiği tespit edildi. Olguların% l 8.8'de ise etiyolojiye yönelik bir neden saptanamadı. Lezyonları şüpheli olduğu için 3 olguda cilt biyopsisi yapıldı. Patolojik inceleme sonucu birinde EM, diğer ikisinde ise lökositoklastik vaskülit ve süperfisiyel perivasküler dermatit ile uyumlu idi. Tüm olgulara antihistaminik; 9 olguya buna ek olarak steroid ve 5 olguya ise ek olarak klaritromisin tedavisi verildi.Sonuç olarak pediatrik olgularda enfeksiyonlar ve eş zamanlı ilaç kullanımı nedeniyle EM etyolojisi çoğu zaman aydınlatılamamaktadır. Lezyonların tipik olmadığı, tanısı şüpheli olgularda cilt biyopsisi faydalı olmaktadır. Steroid tedavisi halen tartışmalı olmasına rağmen dramatik olarak gelişen olgularda erken ağır ve ciddi seyirli başlandığında prognozu iyi yönde etkileyebilir.

EVALUATION OF CASES WITH ERYTHEMAMULTIFORME

Year 2008, Volume: 2 Issue: 3, 5 - 10, 01.04.2008

Abstract

lntroduction: Erythema multiforme (EM) is an acute inflammatory hypersensitivity reaction of skin
and mucous membranes that usually develop due to infections and drugs and can be seen in all
age groups. Few studies has been reported in chilhood. in this study we aimed to evaluate the
patientswith EM in ourclinic.
Material And Method: 16 patients who were hospitalized with diagnosis of EM between July
2003-June 2004 were evaluated retrospectively in terms of clinical findings, etiology, treatment
and prognosis.
Results and Discussion: Eleven mele ( 68.8%) and 5 female patient were enrolled and the age
renge was between 8 months -16 years (mean 5.7 years c 53. l month). While the lesions were
limited to the skin in 81.2% of the patients, mucosal involvement was accompanied in 18.8% of
the patients. Underlying etiological factors of EM were mastly infections followed by drugs and
vaccination in only one patient. However, ın 18.8% of the patients, no definitive cause was
determined. Skin biopsies were teken in 3 patients with suspicious lesions. Pathological
examinations revealed EM, leukocytoclastic vasculitis and superficial perivascular dermatitis
respectively in these patients. While all patients received systemic antihistaminic, 9 of them were
given steroid and five were given clarithromyein additionally.
it is sometimes difficult to determine the etiology of EM in pediatric patients because of infections
and drug usage at the seme time. Skin biopsy may be done in patients with uncertain lesi ons forthe
differential diagnosis of EM. Although steroid therapy is stili debated in treatment of EM, it may be
useful in the treatment of severe patients.
