[Juvenile spring eruption].

Background: Juvenile spring eruption is an idiopathic photodermatosis which predominantly occurs in boys aged 5-12 years-old who have short hair and bat ears. In the Netherlands, this condition has only been described once previously but it is probably under-reported.
Case Study: A 1.
Actinic dermatitis and phototoxic and idiopathic photodermatoses occur relatively often during childhood. Photodermatoses stemming from enzyme defects and genetic disorders are much less common, while photoallergic and chronic actinic dermatitis have not been dealt with to date. A specific sensitivity of a child's skin to light is often the first manifest clinical symptom of a photodermatosis, the key is to ensure early diagnosis.

Although skin diseases are common in children, only a very few prospective studies are available, in the literature, mainly from developed countries. This work reports the pattern of skin diseases in a tertiary referral hospital in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, from June 1995 to July 1997. A total of 1000 consecutive new pediatric patients, ages 0-12 years, were studied.

Photodermatosis is an heterogeneous group of affections characterized by an abnormal sensitivity of skin to sunlight responsible of a local or generalized eruption. Rare in children, the most frequent of them such as sun-burns, phytophotodermatosis and phototoxicity are fortunately benign, brief and spontaneously resolving. Some of them disappear spontaneously after few years like polymorphic light eruptions which are rather observed in children older than ten years.

Actinic prurigo (AP) and polymorphic light eruption (PLE) both belong to the group of idiopathic photodermatoses, but it remains controversial whether AP is a distinct photodermatosis or a variant of PLE. The aim of this study, by collecting data from 119 patients with features of these disorders, was to establish whether specific criteria could be used to distinguish AP from PLE prospectively. We found that presence of the eruption on both exposed and covered sites, its occurrence in winter, persistence of lesions beyond 4 weeks, mucosal and conjunctival involvement, excoriation and scarring of the skin were important features of AP which were not typical of PLE.
