Abstract

|
|
Hydroa Vacciniforme is a rare, light sensitive dermatitis characterized by discrete vesicles followed by varioliform scar formation, which was first described by Bazin on 1862.
We have experienced three cases of hydroa vacciniforme in childhood. The first case was a 6-year-old boy who had discrete vesicles, crusts and pitting scars on forehead, both cheeks, ears and dorsum of the hands in symmetrical distribution with itching sensation, which had used to recur in every summer since last three years ago.
Histologic section of a primary lesion showed necrosis and severe edema in the epidermis and adjacent dermis with the dermal inflammatory cell infiltration.
The second case was a 10-year-old girl who had discrete vesicles, crusts, erosive and depigmented patch and scars on face, lip, dorsum of the hand and forearm with itching sensation, which had also developed. on last spring.
The third case was a 7-year-old boy who had vesicles, erosive patch, crusts and pitting scars on face, lower lip, both dorsum of the hand and forearm with itching sensation, which had recurred in every summer since last two years ago.
On urine examination, porphyrin, was negative in all three cases.
Diagnosis was established by clinical characteristics and laboratory findings and histological pictures.
Symptomatic treatment was done in all three cases.
The literatures were briefly reviewed.
