Background/Objectives: Pediatric dermatitis and nonaccidental trauma (NAT) may have overlapping cutaneous presentations, posing a risk of misdiagnosis and subsequent emotional distress and further harm. Through a systematic literature review, we reviewed pediatric (<18 years old) patients investigated for both dermatitis and NAT. Methods: EMBASE and MEDLINE databases were searched. English publications with original data involving pediatric patients investigated for both dermatitis and NAT were included. Nonhuman studies and incomplete articles/conference abstracts were excluded. Data extracted included the first author, year of publication, study design, participant count, sex of the population, age of the population, cutaneous presentation, timing of presentation, Child Protective Services involvement, and case relation to dermatitis and NAT. Results: This review included 21 case reports or series encompassing 29 patients. Among 26 patients initially investigated as NAT (26.9% involving Child Protective Services), final diagnoses included irritant contact dermatitis (53.8%), phytophotodermatitis (30.8%), allergic contact dermatitis (7.7%), perianal infectious dermatitis (3.8%), and atopic dermatitis (3.8%). Three patients initially diagnosed with nontraumatic dermatitis were later found to be victims of physical (2/3; 66.7%) or sexual abuse (1/3; 33.3%). Conclusions: Effective history‐taking and physical examinations should encompass a history of laxative use, contact with furocoumarin‐containing plants/fruit, parallel family/peer cutaneous presentations, caregiver involvement, financial burden, patient discomfort, birthmark assessment, and lesions aligning with diaper borders or toilet seats. Limitations of this review include potential underreporting and the inclusion of low‐quality study designs and evidence. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
