Valid data of 7528 patients were included in the study.

Most patients presented in summer (40.7%). Infections constituted most of the dermatoses (45.4%), and scabies was the most common disease (9.26%). Hypersensitivity diseases came after (22%) and, interestingly, the dermatitis subgroup (12.94%) followed fungal infections (15.83%) immediately, preceding other infection subgroups. Females predominated in most dermatoses. Urticaria predominated in infants, bacterial infections in preschool stage, fungal infections in school and young adult stages, and dermatitis in old adult and geriatric stages. Fungal infections predominated in all seasons. The peak presentation of all diseases was in summer except urticaria that was represented more in spring.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusion\u2002<\/jats:bold> Dermatitis preceded many infectious diseases as an index of the development and urbanization of a community. However, infections still represent the most common dermatoses. Fortunately, they are potentially controllable and, therefore, healthcare strategies that target infections may represent the key for an efficient national healthcare program.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-4632.2010.04840.x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2011,6,25]],"date-time":"2011-06-25T22:04:28Z","timestamp":1309039468000},"page":"844-853","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":15,"title":["Pattern of skin diseases in Cairo, Egypt"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"50","author":[{"given":"Ekramy A.","family":"El\u2010Khateeb","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Adel A.","family":"Imam","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mohammed A.","family":"Sallam","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2011,6,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_6_2_2","first-page":"6.8","volume-title":"Rook\u2019s Textbook of Dermatology","author":"William HC","year":"2004"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_3_2","first-page":"152","article-title":"Epidemiology of common transmissible skin diseases among primary school children in north\u2010west Ethiopia","volume":"43","author":"Dagnew MB","year":"1991","journal-title":"Trop Geogr Med"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1046\/j.1365-4362.2003.01936.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5144\/0256-4947.1998.558"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_6_2","first-page":"507","article-title":"Pattern of skin diseases in a hospital in southwestern Saudi Arabia","volume":"25","author":"Shelleh HH","year":"2004","journal-title":"Saudi Med J"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_7_2","first-page":"1607","article-title":"Pattern of skin diseases in Eastern Saudi Arabia","volume":"26","author":"Alakloby OM","year":"2005","journal-title":"Saudi Med J"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_8_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-4632.2004.02140.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_9_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-4632.2004.02212.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_10_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-4632.2004.01967.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_11_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-4632.2007.03218.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_12_2","first-page":"111","article-title":"A study of skin diseases in Tunis.
