Zapalenie mieszków włosowych
Epidemiologia

Zapalenie mieszków włosowych (folliculitis) jest powszechnym schorzeniem dermatologicznym o szacowanej częstości występowania około 8/1000 osób w USA, gdzie rocznie diagnozuje się niemal 3 miliony przypadków. Choroba dotyka wszystkie grupy wiekowe, płcie i rasy, jednak różne typy zapalenia wykazują specyficzne korelacje epidemiologiczne: Malassezia folliculitis częściej występuje u mężczyzn w wieku 21-30 lat (proporcja 3:1), pseudofolliculitis barbae przeważa u osób o ciemnym kolorze skóry, zwłaszcza Afroamerykanów, a folliculitis keloidalis nuchae i eozynofilowe zapalenie mieszków włosowych dominują u mężczyzn. Czynniki ryzyka obejmują m.in. częste golenie, zaburzenia metaboliczne (cukrzyca, otyłość), stany immunosupresji (HIV/AIDS, choroby hematologiczne), a także czynniki środowiskowe jak maceracja skóry, okluzja, gorący i wilgotny klimat oraz ekspozycja na zanieczyszczone baseny i jacuzzi (Pseudomonas aeruginosa). Występowanie PFB wśród amerykańskich żołnierzy wzrosło z 50 przypadków w 2000 do 2404 w 2022 roku, co wskazuje na potrzebę dalszych badań i nadzoru epidemiologicznego.

Epidemiologia zapalenia mieszków włosowych

Zapalenie mieszków włosowych (łac. folliculitis) jest stosunkowo powszechnym schorzeniem dermatologicznym, chociaż dokładna częstość występowania nie jest w pełni znana. Szacunkowa częstość występowania w Stanach Zjednoczonych wynosi około 8 na 1000 osób.1 W samych Stanach Zjednoczonych odnotowuje się rocznie prawie 3 miliony przypadków.2 Globalny rynek leków stosowanych w zapaleniu mieszków włosowych wykazuje potencjalny wskaźnik wzrostu na poziomie 4,90% według danych z 2020 roku.3 Dokładne określenie częstości występowania jest utrudnione, ponieważ powierzchowne zapalenie mieszków włosowych często ma charakter samoograniczający i wielu pacjentów nigdy nie zgłasza się po pomoc medyczną.45

Czynniki ryzyka demograficzne

Zapalenie mieszków włosowych może dotykać osoby w każdym wieku, obu płci i wszystkich ras, jednak istnieją pewne prawidłowości epidemiologiczne:67

  • Wiek: Schorzenie może wystąpić w każdej grupie wiekowej, od niemowląt po osoby starsze.8 Jednak niektóre rodzaje zapalenia mieszków włosowych wykazują związek z wiekiem:
    • Zapalenie mieszków włosowych wywołane przez Malassezia (Pityrosporum) występuje częściej u nastolatków i młodych dorosłych, prawdopodobnie ze względu na zwiększoną aktywność gruczołów łojowych.9 Najczęściej dotyka osób w wieku 21-30 lat, co potwierdzają badania przeprowadzone w Singapurze.10
    • Przewlekłe zapalenie mieszków włosowych nóg (CFL) dotyka głównie młodych dorosłych w wieku 16-25 lat.11
  • Płeć: Ogólnie zapalenie mieszków włosowych nie wykazuje preferencji płciowych w przypadku postaci powierzchownej.12 Istnieją jednak korelacje między typem zapalenia mieszków włosowych a płcią:13
    • Częściej u mężczyzn występują: folliculitis barbae (zapalenie mieszków włosowych brody), folliculitis keloidalis nuchae (zapalenie mieszków włosowych karku), perifolliculitis capitis abscedens et suffodiens oraz eozynofilowe zapalenie mieszków włosowych.1415
    • Zapalenie mieszków włosowych wywołane przez Malassezia jest częstsze u mężczyzn niż u kobiet, z proporcją 3:1 według badań w Singapurze.1617
    • Trakcyjne zapalenie mieszków włosowych występuje częściej u kobiet.18
  • Rasa/pochodzenie etniczne: Występowanie różnych typów zapalenia mieszków włosowych może różnić się w zależności od pochodzenia etnicznego:19
    • Pseudozapalenie mieszków włosowych (pseudofolliculitis) i trakcyjne zapalenie mieszków włosowych częściej dotyka osoby pochodzenia afroamerykańskiego.2021
    • Klasyczne eozynofilowe zapalenie mieszków włosowych jest częstsze u osób pochodzenia japońskiego.22
    • Pseudofolliculitis barbae (PFB) nieproporcjonalnie często dotyka osób o ciemnym kolorze skóry, szczególnie Afroamerykanów i Latynosów. W badaniach wśród amerykańskich żołnierzy wykazano, że Afroamerykanie, stanowiący historycznie 16-18% amerykańskiej armii, odpowiadają za większość (63,5%) przypadków PFB.23

Czynniki ryzyka i predysponujące

Istnieje wiele czynników zwiększających ryzyko rozwoju zapalenia mieszków włosowych:242526

  • Częste golenie, depilacja woskiem lub inne formy usuwania owłosienia2728
  • Zaburzenia metaboliczne:
  • Stany immunosupresji:
  • Czynniki środowiskowe i behawioralne:
    • Przedłużone stosowanie antybiotyków3839
    • Stosowanie miejscowych kortykosteroidów4041
    • Maceracja i okluzja skóry (przez ubrania, opatrunki, maści)42
    • Tarcie spowodowane ciasnym ubraniem43
    • Stosowanie produktów oleistych i tłustych na skórę44
    • Kąpiele w niedostatecznie oczyszczonych basenach, jacuzzi lub gorących wannach4546
    • Gorący i wilgotny klimat (szczególnie sprzyjający Malassezia spp.)47
  • Współistniejące schorzenia skórne:
    • Atopowe zapalenie skóry48
    • Trądzik lub inne zaburzenia mieszków włosowych49
  • Inne:
    • Owsiki (szczególnie w przypadku zapalenia mieszków włosowych pośladków)50
    • Niedokrwistość51

Nadzór epidemiologiczny i monitorowanie

Nadzór nad zapaleniem mieszków włosowych różni się w zależności od rodzaju i przyczyny infekcji. Szczególnie ważny jest monitoring epidemiologiczny w przypadku ognisk zapalenia mieszków włosowych wywołanych przez Pseudomonas aeruginosa związanych z basenami i jacuzzi.5253

Systemy nadzoru i zgłaszanie przypadków

Chociaż zapalenie mieszków włosowych nie podlega obowiązkowemu zgłaszaniu w większości systemów nadzoru chorób zakaźnych, ogniska epidemiczne mogą być monitorowane przez lokalne jednostki zdrowia publicznego:54

  • Ogniska zapalenia mieszków włosowych wywołanego przez P. aeruginosa związane z basenami i jacuzzi są zgłaszane do lokalnych jednostek sanitarno-epidemiologicznych
  • W niektórych instytucjach, takich jak wojsko USA, prowadzi się systematyczny nadzór nad przypadkami pseudofolliculitis barbae (PFB) wśród żołnierzy służby czynnej55
  • Przypadek PFB w amerykańskiej armii jest liczony raz w roku, jeśli żołnierz miał dwie wizyty ambulatoryjne w ciągu 60 dni lub jedną wizytę szpitalną w danym roku56

Algorytmy dawka-odpowiedź w nadzorze

W przypadku zapalenia mieszków włosowych wywołanego przez P. aeruginosa opracowano algorytmy dawka-odpowiedź, które są wykorzystywane w ilościowej ocenie ryzyka i zarządzaniu zakażeniami:57

  • Algorytmy te integrują gęstość patogenu, dane epidemiologiczne i inne informacje o zależności dawka-odpowiedź
  • Generują one testowalne hipotezy dotyczące ryzyka infekcji
  • Aktualne analizy wskazują, że punkt odniesienia wynoszący 10^2 CFU/ml jest bardzo konserwatywny, a znacznie wyższe gęstości w zakresie 10^0-10^2 CFU/ml stanowią niewielkie natychmiastowe ryzyko58
  • Rutynowe monitorowanie wydaje się jednak użyteczne – wykrycie 10^2 CFU/ml może spowodować zamknięcie basenu, jednocześnie pozwalając władzom wiarygodnie zapewnić opinię publiczną, że zakażenie jest mało prawdopodobne59

Trendy epidemiologiczne zapalenia mieszków włosowych

Istnieją pewne obserwowane trendy w zakresie występowania zapalenia mieszków włosowych:6061

  • Częstość występowania PFB wśród żołnierzy amerykańskich wzrosła w okresie nadzoru 2000-2022, ze szczególnym wzrostem między 2021 a 2022 rokiem we wszystkich kategoriach rasowych/etnicznych62
  • U niehiszpańskich czarnoskórych żołnierzy konsekwentnie odnotowywano znacznie wyższą liczbę przypadków PFB, wyraźnie rosnącą między 2007 a 2008 rokiem oraz gwałtownie wzrastającą od 2021 do 2022 roku63
  • Odnotowano wzrost liczby zgłoszonych przypadków PFB z 50 w 2000 roku do 2404 w 2022 roku, co może wymagać dalszych badań64
  • Występowanie zapalenia mieszków włosowych wywołanego przez Malassezia u pacjentów z klinicznym rozpoznaniem trądziku pospolitego wynosi 28,8%, co jest wyższe niż we wcześniejszych badaniach w Turcji i Korei (25,3% i 25%)65
  • Częstość występowania zapalenia mieszków włosowych wywołanego przez Malassezia u pacjentów z trądzikiem jest znacznie wyższa niż w populacji ogólnej na świecie, która według doniesień wynosi tylko 1-6,5%66

Diagnostyka i rozpoznanie

Zapalenie mieszków włosowych jest stosunkowo łatwe do rozpoznania na podstawie obrazu klinicznego, ale może wymagać dodatkowych badań w celu potwierdzenia:6768

  • Rozpoznanie kliniczne na podstawie charakterystycznych zmian skórnych i objawów
  • Bakteryjne zapalenie mieszków włosowych można potwierdzić za pomocą wymazu bakteriologicznego przesłanego do badania mikroskopowego, hodowli i oznaczenia wrażliwości69
  • W przypadku zapalenia mieszków włosowych wywołanego przez Malassezia pomocne jest barwienie błękitem metylenowym, które jest łatwe do wykonania i korzystne do rozpoznania70
  • Rozpoznanie wyłącznie na podstawie objawów klinicznych może prowadzić do błędnego rozpoznania, szczególnie w przypadku zapalenia mieszków włosowych wywołanego przez Malassezia, które może naśladować i współistnieć z trądzikiem pospolitym71
Typ zapalenia mieszków włosowych Czynniki demograficzne Główne czynniki ryzyka Najczęstsza lokalizacja
Powierzchowne bakteryjne Wszystkie grupy wiekowe, bez preferencji płciowych Maceracja, okluzja, golenie, tarcie Kończyny, twarz, tułów
Malassezia (Pityrosporum) Częściej u mężczyzn (3:1), nastolatki/młodzi dorośli Gorący klimat, aktywne gruczoły łojowe Tułów, plecy (57,5%-64% przypadków)
Pseudofolliculitis barbae Głównie osoby ciemnoskóre, zwłaszcza Afroamerykanie Regularne golenie, kręcone włosy Twarz, szyja (obszary zarostu)
Hot tub folliculitis (P. aeruginosa) Głównie dorośli Kąpiele w zanieczyszczonych jacuzzi, basenach Okolice pokryte strojem kąpielowym
Eozynofilowe Częściej u mężczyzn, szczególnie pochodzenia japońskiego Zakażenie HIV, choroby hematologiczne Twarz, klatka piersiowa, ramiona

Implikacje dla zdrowia publicznego

Dane epidemiologiczne dotyczące zapalenia mieszków włosowych mają istotne znaczenie dla zdrowia publicznego i praktyki klinicznej:7273

  • Globalne dane dotyczące analizy rynku zapalenia mieszków włosowych dostarczają szczegółowych analiz dla pacjentów oraz prognoz i metod leczenia74
  • Zmienne takie jak chorobowość, zachorowalność, śmiertelność i współczynniki przestrzegania zaleceń są dostępne i analizowane
  • Bezpośredni i pośredni wpływ epidemiologii na rozwój rynku jest analizowany w celu stworzenia bardziej solidnego i kohortowego wielowymiarowego modelu statystycznego do prognozowania rynku w okresie wzrostu75
  • Analiza i algorytmy dostarczają informacji na temat najlepszych praktyk zarządzania i stawiają pytania dotyczące korzyści z usuwania wody i oddzielania obszarów socjalizacji w basenie od kąpiących się76

Szacunki klinicznego nasilenia zapalenia mieszków włosowych wyrażone jako liczba zmian/m² opierają się na małym podstawowym zbiorze danych. Integracja tych danych jest krokiem niezbędnym do ilościowego określenia obciążenia chorobą (np. jako lata życia skorygowane o niepełnosprawność).77

    https://www.webmd.com/skin-problems-and-treatments/what-is-folliculitis
    Folliculitis is very common. People of any age can get it adults, teens, children, and even babies. […] Some groups of people are more likely to get certain types of folliculitis. For instance, if you have a beard that you often trim, you’re more prone to having inflamed skin on your chin and cheeks. In general, you’re at higher risk for folliculitis if you have a high body weight, live with diabetes, take antibiotics for a long time, or have a weak or suppressed immune system. […] Most of the time, folliculitis isn’t spread from person to person. But there are a few exceptions. If your folliculitis is caused by a germ that lives naturally in water or soil, it could infect other people, too. If you get a rash after sitting in a hot tub, other people who sat in the tub are also likely to get it.

    Pityrosporum folliculitis (PF) is a common skin condition that can be easily misdiagnosed, especially by non-dermatologists. […] However, there is scant literature regarding the clinical epidemiology of PF. To our knowledge, in Singapore, only one prior epidemiological study was performed in 1987. […] Through this study, we aimed to provide an update regarding the epidemiology, diagnosis and treatment of patients with PF in Singapore. […] The epidemiologic and clinical features of patients confirmed as having PF were analysed, and the significant findings are summarised in Table I. […] Most (35.0%) patients with PF in our study were aged between 21 and 30 years. […] There were 162 male and 52 female patients, yielding a male-to-female ratio of 3:1. […] The lesions predominantly occurred on the trunk and back areas, with 123 (57.5%) patients presenting with lesions on the trunk and 137 (64.0%) patients presenting with lesions on their back. […] Our findings were similar to those of a previous study conducted in 1987 on the epidemiology of PF in Singapore. […] In conclusion, our study updates the local epidemiology, diagnosis and treatment of patients with PF in Singapore.

It is difficult to determine the incidence of the folliculitis as majority of the people affected with it never seek medical attention. […] Patients of all age groups may develop folliculitis. Superficial folliculitis and Hot tub folliculitis is more commonly observed among adults than children. […] Superficial folliculitis affects men and women equally. […] There is no racial predilection for folliculitis however Pseudofolliculitis barbae usually affects individuals of the African descent.

    Folliculitis occurs in persons of any race, but pseudofolliculitis and traction folliculitis more frequently occurs in African Americans, whereas classic eosinophilic folliculitis is more common in persons of Japanese origin. […] Although most cases of folliculitis show no sex predilection, folliculitis barbae, folliculitis keloidalis nuchae, perifolliculitis capitis abscedens et suffodiens, and eosinophilic folliculitis occurs more frequently in males, whereas traction folliculitis occurs more frequently in females. […] Folliculitis can be seen in persons of all ages; however, Malassezia (Pityrosporum) folliculitis tends to occur more often in adolescents, presumably because of the increased activity of their sebaceous glands. […] Although superficial folliculitis is relatively common because it is often self-limited the exact incidence is unknown. Patients who present to their primary care providers or to a dermatologist, typically have either recurrent or persistent superficial folliculitis or deep folliculitis. Conditions that tend to make patients more susceptible include shaving, immunosuppression, preexisting dermatoses, occlusive clothing, and/or occlusive topical products, exposure to hot humid temperatures, diabetes mellitus, obesity, long-term use of antibiotics and use of other medications.

    https://health.mil/News/Articles/2023/08/01/Pseudofolliculitis-barbae
    Pseudofolliculitis barbae, also known as razor bumps or shaving bumps, results from an inflammatory, foreign body reaction of the skin, caused by shortened and sharpened hair piercing to the epidermis and dermis.1 While PFB can affect any person who regularly shaves, literature demonstrates an increased prevalence for persons with tightly curly hair, particularly African American and Hispanic individuals, including service members in the U.S. military.1-3 Current grooming standards in the U.S. military mandate facial shaving to ensure adequate fitting and sealing of protective masks.1 A shaving waiver may be issued for medical reasons such as PFB, or for religious reasons, among others.1,4 […] […] This Surveillance Snapshot describes the frequency of PFB cases among active component service members of the U.S. military from 2000 through 2022. A PFB case was counted once per year if the ACSM demonstrated either two outpatient or theater medical data store encounters within 60 days, or one inpatient encounter within the year. Overall, the frequency of PFB cases increased over the surveillance period and varied greatly by race/ethnicity, disproportionally affecting Non-Hispanic Black service members (Figure). Non-Hispanic Blacks, who have historically comprised 16-18% of the U.S military in the past 20 years,5-7 constitute a majority (63.5%) of PFB cases. The frequency trend is well out of proportion to the change in troop strength. The increase in reported cases from 50 in 2000 to 2,404 in 2022 may warrant further study. […]

    Folliculitis is an infection of the hair follicles that can cause acne-like pimples or crusty sores. This condition is common after hair removal, especially shaving. […] For people who shave their heads, the following may help prevent folliculitis on the scalp: exfoliating the scalp before shaving, keeping the razor dry between uses, wetting the skin and using a cream or gel before shaving, always using a clean, sharp razor, applying an aftershave treatment. […] Unlike other conditions, folliculitis specifically affects the hair follicles. It appears more as dots rather than patches.

    Folliculitis is very common. People of any age can get it adults, teens, children, and even babies. […] Some groups of people are more likely to get certain types of folliculitis. For instance, if you have a beard that you often trim, you’re more prone to having inflamed skin on your chin and cheeks. In general, you’re at higher risk for folliculitis if you have a high body weight, live with diabetes, take antibiotics for a long time, or have a weak or suppressed immune system. […] Most of the time, folliculitis isn’t spread from person to person. But there are a few exceptions. If your folliculitis is caused by a germ that lives naturally in water or soil, it could infect other people, too. If you get a rash after sitting in a hot tub, other people who sat in the tub are also likely to get it.

    https://health.mil/News/Articles/2023/08/01/Pseudofolliculitis-barbae
    Pseudofolliculitis barbae, also known as razor bumps or shaving bumps, results from an inflammatory, foreign body reaction of the skin, caused by shortened and sharpened hair piercing to the epidermis and dermis.1 While PFB can affect any person who regularly shaves, literature demonstrates an increased prevalence for persons with tightly curly hair, particularly African American and Hispanic individuals, including service members in the U.S. military.1-3 Current grooming standards in the U.S. military mandate facial shaving to ensure adequate fitting and sealing of protective masks.1 A shaving waiver may be issued for medical reasons such as PFB, or for religious reasons, among others.1,4 […] […] This Surveillance Snapshot describes the frequency of PFB cases among active component service members of the U.S. military from 2000 through 2022. A PFB case was counted once per year if the ACSM demonstrated either two outpatient or theater medical data store encounters within 60 days, or one inpatient encounter within the year. Overall, the frequency of PFB cases increased over the surveillance period and varied greatly by race/ethnicity, disproportionally affecting Non-Hispanic Black service members (Figure). Non-Hispanic Blacks, who have historically comprised 16-18% of the U.S military in the past 20 years,5-7 constitute a majority (63.5%) of PFB cases. The frequency trend is well out of proportion to the change in troop strength. The increase in reported cases from 50 in 2000 to 2,404 in 2022 may warrant further study. […]
