[Cutaneous tuberculosis treated at the Dermatological Clinic, Medical Academy, in Cracow 1963-1987. I. Epidemiological analysis].
In the last 25 years 268 (67%) patients were hospitalized for proper tuberculosis of the skin, and 132 (33%) for tuberculids. In the period 1983-1987 the prevalence of skin tuberculosis was 5.8 times lower than in the period 1963-1967. The frequency of the clinical forms of tuberculosis was as follows: tbc. luposa (57.5%), tbc. colliquativa (35.4%), tbc. verrucosa (4.5%) and tbc. ulcerosa (2.6%). Women had tbc. luposa 1.4 times, and tbc. colliquativa 1.5 times more frequently than men, while in men tbc. verrucosa was 3 times and tbc. ulcerosa 2.5 times more frequently than in women. In the whole group the male:female ratio was 1:2.05. In patients aged up to 20 years tbc colliquativa was more frequent (29.5%) than tbc. luposa (5.2%), while in the age group 61-85 years this frequency was reversed: 17.9% and 34.4% respectively. In the division into occupational groups farmers prevailed (3.6%) (t = 2.84). The number of female patients with tbc. luposa significantly less frequently (t = 4.0) got married, probably due to disfiguring changes following the disease.
