Perianal Infectious Dermatitis

Öz

Aims: This study aims to evaluate the clinical characteristics, microbiological findings, and treatment outcomes of pediatric patients diagnosed with perianal infectious dermatitis (PID) in order to increase clinical awareness and reduce misdiagnosis in routine pediatric practice. Material and Method: We retrospectively reviewed pediatric patients aged 0-18 years diagnosed with PID at a pediatric infectious diseases clinic. Demographic data, clinical symptoms, and culture results were analyzed. Diagnosis was based on clinical presentation and positive cultures from perianal lesions. This study aims to describe the clinical features of pediatric PID and increase awareness among clinicians. Results: Nine pediatric patients (mean age: 5.1 years, 8 boys, 1 girl) were diagnosed with PID. The most common symptoms were anal itching and painful defecation. Physical examination showed well-demarcated erythema in the perianal region. Streptococcus pyogenes was isolated in 7 patients, Streptococcus agalactiae in 1 patient, and both S. pyogenes and Staphylococcus aureus in 1 patient. All patients were treated with oral amoxicillin, leading to full recovery without complications. Conclusion: PID is often misdiagnosed, delaying appropriate treatment. This study highlights the importance of recognizing PID in pediatric patients presenting with perianal erythema, which can prevent unnecessary interventions and complications when appropriately diagnosed and treated.
