چکیده

Background Mastocytosis is a rare disease affecting both children and adults. It is characterized by accumulation of mast-cells in the skin and/or other tissues so that two main variants are distinguished: cutaneous (CM) and systemic (SM) mastocytosis. Most pediatric patients have primarily CM and complete remission will develop in a considerable number of patients during puberty. Less frequently, skin lesions persist and these patients are often diagnosed with SM in adulthood. Our study investigates the correlation between SCORMA (SCORing MAstocytosis) Index (SC-I), a scoring system that assesses the clinical extent and intensity of cutaneous mastocytosis, and Grading system, that evaluates skin-specific symptoms and treatment status, in the follow-up of pediatric patients with mastocytosis. Furthermore, we evaluate the role of SC-I modifications in the assessment of the severity of disease.

Serum tryptase and SCORMA (SCORing MAstocytosis) Index as disease severity parameters in childhood and adult cutaneous mastocytosis.

BACKGROUND Skin lesions are the predominant clinical feature of the commonest form of mastocytosis. Mastocytosis is classified according to World Health Organization criteria. Determination of the levels of mast-cell mediators or their metabolites reflects the mast-cell burden. The extent of cutaneous mastocytosis can be assessed clinically using a scoring system (SCORing MAstocytosis; SCORMA I...
