Abstract

Pyoderma gangrenosum (PG) is a rare inflammatory skin disease mainly characterized by ulcers. More than half of the PG is associated with systemic diseases like inflammatory bowel disease. About 4% of PG is seen during childhood. Here we report a 12-year-old girl presented with fever and bloody diarrhea and who developed a painful leg ulcer during follow up period and diagnosed as ulcerative colitis.

Çocuklarda ülseratif kolitin nadir bir komplikasyonu: Piyoderma gangrenozum

Abstract

Piyoderma gangrenozum (PG), esas olarak ülserlerle karakterize nadir görülen bir inflamatuar deri hastalığıdır. PG’nin yarısından fazlası, inflamatuar bağırsak hastalığı gibi sistemik hastalıklarla ilişkilidir. Olguların yaklaşık %4’ü çocukluk döneminde görülür. Burada ateş ve kanlı ishal ile başvuran, takip döneminde ağrılı bacak ülseri gelişen ve ülseratif kolit tanısı konulan 12 yaşında bir kız hastayı sunuyoruz.
