Abstract

Objective: The aim of this study was to obtain an objective standard for distinguishing the relation between patients' skin symptoms and the history of exposure to mustard gas.Materials and methods: In this Analytic Cross-Sectional study, the amount of SKIN ERYTHEMA and melanin in both palms, both dorsal of hands, forehead, and suprasternum of the total population of 309 person (87 patients with skin lesions caused by sulfur mustard [group 1], 71 patients exposed to sulfur mustard without skin lesions [group 2], 77 patients with pruritus and XEROSIS unexposed to sulfur mustard [group 3] and 74 normal individuals [group 4]) was measured by Mexameter MX18 probe. The achieved data was analyzed using Mann-Whitney, Kruskal wallis, ANOVA and T test, and SPSS software.Results: In group 1, level of erythema at dorsal of the left hand, suprasternum and the palm of the right hand was significantly less than group 2, and the erythema at suprasternum and the palms of both hands was significantly less than group 3. Also the amount of melanin at the dorsal of both hands and forehead was significantly more than group 4. In group 2, the levels of erythema and melanin at dorsal of both hands and the level of melanin at forehead were significantly more than group 4. In group 3, the amount of erythema and melanin at the dorsal of both hands, the level of melanin at forehead and suprasternum, and the level of erythema at the palm of the right hand were significantly more than group 4. In the whole studied society, the amount of melanin at suprasternum was significantly decreased by increasing of the age.Conclusion: This study can not define an objective standard for distinguishing the relation between patient's skin symptoms and the history of exposure to sulfur mustard. There are variations at levels of erythema and melanin in the skin of studied areas, and these variations are significant in comparison with normal population (Group 4), but not with patients with skin problem not related to sulfur mustard (Group 3). More studies are needed, regarding other factors such as occuption.
