Abstract

Background: RASH is a common complaint in CHILDREN that has many causes and thevarious differential diagnoses. Therefore, urgent and appropriate clinical diagnosis isnecessary to provide immediate medical intervention. Therefore, the purpose of thisstudy was to investigate the causes of SKIN RASH in CHILDREN hospitalized due to RASH. Methods: This descriptive-analytic study was performed on all patients admitted forskin RASHes in Hazrat Masoumeh Hospital in Qom, Iran from 2010 to 2015. In thisstudy, the data of 317 patients who were admitted to the early diagnosis of RASH werecollected from patients' files and recorded in the checklist. Results: According to our study, the most common causes of SKIN RASHes in CHILDRENwere viruses with a share of 40. 69% (129 cases), allergic causes being as prevalent as21. 77% (69 cases) and drug induced RASHes that accounted for 20. 50% (65 cases). Based on the site and type of RASHes, the most common type of RASHes were maculopapularrashes with 42% and hives with 31. 9% prevalence, and the most common site ofinvolvement was diffuse involvement that would account for 84% of the cases. In termsof drug use history, 35. 6% had a history of antibiotic use prior to admission, and 14. 5%had an antiepileptic drug use history. There was a significant relationship between thecause of RASHes and the season of presentation (P< 0. 05) as well as the age of presentation(P< 0. 05). Conclusion: This study showed that there is a significant relationship between the seasonand age of occurrence, but the use of these factors as a benchmark for the diagnosisof RASH requires more studies. Paying attention to the causes of RASH in CHILDREN, knowingabout these factors, and continuous evaluation of these patients can help in advancinga proper management of the problem of patients. The most frequent factors wereviruses and then allergic and pharmaceutical agents, and the most common type wasmaculopapular.
