Abstract
The prevalence of paediatric dermatoses has risen in Iraq from 33.5% in 1987 to 40.9% in 2010. The objective of this study was to document the pattern of dermatoses in Iraqi children attending the outpatient clinic of a teaching hospital in Baghdad, Iraq. We conducted a cross-sectional study of 663 children under the age of 12 years who attended fordermatological consultation during 2008. The study showed that the prevailing dermatoses were as follow: infectious [‎32.3%]‎, eczematous [‎20,8%]‎, pigmentary [‎17.8%]‎, papulosquamous [‎14.2%]‎, drug-induced [‎4.5%]‎, nutritional deficiency [‎1.8%]‎ and miscellaneous [‎8.6%]‎. The studied patterns of dermatoses were similar to that reported in other developing countries
