ABSTRACT
Introduction: ectodermal dysplasias are genetic diseases characterized by alterations in structures derived from the ectoderm. The Cuban government, together with the Ministry of Public Health, has established a multidisciplinary monitoring that benefits these patients.Objective: to describe the phenotypical characteristics that distinguish this disease in the province, and the positive influence of skin care and the benefits of social protection in our country.
Methods: a cross-sectional study was carried out. The sample consisted of 23 patients, with clinical diagnosis of ectodermal dysplasias, living in Holguin province from January 2009 to December 2017. Their medical records were reviewed and demographic and clinical variables were analyzed, the latter related to skin care and early diagnosis, as well as the benefits that social security and the government provide for these patients.
Results: male patients prevailed, 19 sufferers that meant 82.6%; 8 had clinical diagnosis made before they were 2 years old, which allowed to take early measures for the protection of the skin, together with motor and cognitive development according to age, as well as adequate school and social insertion. 20 patients (86.9%), showed good skin conditions.
All these patients received support from social security and the government, who improved their houses and provided air conditioned bedrooms.
Conclusions: immediate clinical diagnosis proves to be of great value for multidisciplinary monitoring. Early diagnosis together with skin care and the benefits offered by the government through social security, improved the quality of life of these patients. All of them have adequate school and labor insertion. The majority lives in the municipalities of Holguín, Calixto García and Mayarí.
