Abstract

OBJECTIVE: To check the report of neonatal dermatoses of medical relevance (congenital melanocytic nevus, sebaceous nevus, cafe-au-lait spots, Port-wine stain, ash leaf maculas) in the newborn's file. METHODS: The authors carried out a cross-sectional study in two hospitals in the city of Belo Horizonte. All children born during a consecutive period of 4 months were examined within their 36 first hours of life by a dermatologist who reported all clinically relevant dermatoses (congenital melanocytic nevus, sebaceous nevus, cafeau- lait spots, Port-wine stain, ash leaf macules). Simultaneously, the dermatologist's report was cross checked with the pediatrician's. RESULTS: Neonatal dermatoses of clinical relevance were found in 42 (5.6%) out of 752 children examined during this period. However, the report in the neonate's file could be detected only in 5 (11,9%) out of 42 children. CONCLUSIONS: Clinically relevant dermatoses were underreported in the neonate's file in this study. There is a clear need to stimulate the detection and report of these skin disorders so that parental advice, treatment and genetic counseling can be adequately indicated.
