dc.description.abstract | Background. Infective dermatitis associated with human T-cell lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1; IDH) is a chronic recurrent eczema affecting HTLV-1–infected children. The epidemiological and dermatological characteristics of IDH are described, and their principal diagnostic criteria are reevaluated. Methods. Forty-two patients were included: 40 patients serologically positive for HTLV-1 and 2 seronegative patients who tested positive in polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assays. Results. The mean age at onset of the disease was 2.6 ± 2.4 years (range, 2 months–11 years). The mean duration of breast-feeding was 24.2 months. The lesions were erythematous, scaly, and crusted, always affecting the scalp and retroauricular regions. Crusting of the nostrils was observed in 64.3% of the patients. Of the 36 patients followed up, 23 had the active disease. The age at which IDH disappeared in the others was 10–20 years.
Conclusions. The onset of IDH may occur earlier than reported in the literature. The scalp and retroauricular regions are always affected, and lesions are invariably present in ≥3 areas. Crusting of the nostrils cannot be considered an obligatory factor for the diagnosis of IDH. The recurring nature of IDH was a characteristic found in all cases. Patients with classic IDH lesions who are serologically negative should be investigated by PCR. Therefore, the indispensable criteria for diagnosis are (1) presence of erythematous-scaly, exudative, and crusted lesions involving ≥3 areas, including the scalp and retroauricular regions; (2) recurring nature of the lesions; and (3) a finding of HTLV-1 infection by serology or molecular biology. | pt_BR |
