INTRODUCTION: @entity1694 is an acquired, sometimes familial skin @entity74 due to selective destruction of melanocytes. @entity1694 is primarily a disease of the young; in about half of @entity1 it occurs before the age of twenty. The aim of this study was to investigate some epidemiological and clinical characteristics of @entity1694 in @entity1 , in relation to adults with @entity1694 and @entity1 without @entity1694 . MATERIAL AND METHODS: The research was conducted in fifty @entity1 with clinically diagnosed @entity1694 (2 to 16 years of age). @entity1 were compared with control groups of @entity1 with other @entity272 (age 2 to 16) and with adults with @entity1694 . Each group comprised 30 @entity1 . A detailed history was obtained and physical examination performed in each @entity1 to determine the age of onset, clinical type (segmental or generalized), family history of @entity1694 and other @entity792 , association with @entity13548 , @entity10244 and @entity8612 phenomenon. RESULTS: Of the 50 @entity1 with @entity1694 , 29 (58%) were @entity1 and 21 (42%) @entity1 . The mean age at first visit was 9 years and the mean age of onset was 7 years. @entity1 with @entity1694 had positive family history of @entity1694 and @entity792 more often compared to @entity1 without @entity1694 (p < 0.05). @entity1 with @entity1694 had @entity10244 , especially in cases of @entity1347 , more often compared to their age group (p < 0.001). @entity1 had an increased incidence of @entity1347 compared to adults (p < 0.05). @entity13548 were more common in @entity1 with generalized @entity1694 , in comparison with @entity1 without @entity1694 (p < 0.01) and adults with @entity1694 (p < 0.05). DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: Our results show that @entity1347 and @entity13548 occurred significantly more often in @entity1 than adults with @entity1694 .
