MARTINEZ BORREGO, Rolando et al. Morbilidad por afecciones dermatológicas: estudio estadístico territorial. Rev Cubana Pediatr [online]. 1999, vol.71, n.2, pp. 53-59. ISSN 1561-3119.

A retrospective study of the outpatient department of the "Juan Manuel Márquez" Pediatric Teaching Hospital, and paticularly of those children that received dermatological attention in 1994 was conducted. It was determined that 11.4 % (10 645) went to the hospital due to skin disorders. General data, such as age, sex and areas of origin, as well as the most diagnosed affections were processed. 30 % corresponded to the age group 0-1, and almost 60 % to those aged 5. The province of Havana City, and specially the municipalities of Marianao and La Lisa, had the highest number of patients. No significant differences were observed as regards sex. Scabies was the commonest disease in all groups, followed by dermatitis, pyodermatitis, common warts, molluscum contagiosum and Pityriasis alba.
