Abstract

Objective: The objective of the study was to evaluate the different clinical features of vitiligo diseases and to assess the comorbidity disorders in Aden.

Patients and method: This was a retrospective descriptive study, in which we reviewed the medical records of all patients with vitiligo attending two private clinics in Aden during the period January 2019 to December 2020.

Results: The study patients were (33.5%) males and (66.5%) females (male : female 1: 2).

The mean age of the study patients was 23.6 ± 12.9 years and the age ranged between 2 and 65 years.

Nearly half (49.7%) of patients were aged 20 years old and a positive family history of vitiligo was found in 28.6%.

Vulgaris is the predominant vitiligo type (57.8%) followed by acrofacial type (13.0%).

Extremities involvement were higher in females than males (17.4%) and (9.9%), respectively. Face with extremities involvement and trunk with extremities involvement in female patients seemed to be similar with (9.9).

Significant differences were found between vitiligo involvement types and the sex of patients, (p < 0.05).

In the age group 20 years old we found (28%) vulgaris type of vitiligo followed by acrofacial (7.4%). Vitiligo onset on extremities represented the highest site involvement (27.3%).

Twelve (7.4%) of the patients had associated diseases distributed as follows: diabetes mellitus (4.3%) followed by thyroid diseases (1.9%) and atopic disorders (1.2%). The associated diseases occurred among the age group 20 years old and the age group 21 – 40 years old; (p = 0.043).

Conclusion: Vitiligo disease is more common in females and the most common form was vitiligo vulgaris. A third of patients had a positive family history of vitiligo and the most sites involved were extremities.
