1999年8月17日，土耳其马尔马拉地区发生里氏7.4级毁灭性地震，震中是我市。在这项研究中，我们旨在确定大地震对我们皮肤科门诊患者入院的影响。对震后6个月及去年同期我院皮肤科门诊的所有挂号进行了回顾性修订，分为15个亚组。将震后前3个月登记（地震组1）和后3个月登记（地震组2）分别与去年同期（对照组I和对照组2）进行比较。另外，将地震组I与地震组2进行比较。对结果进行评价时，可以看出，与对照组1相比，地震组I的感染侵扰发生率显着较高。当将地震组2与对照组2的皮肤病发生率进行比较时，没有发现统计学上的显着差异。红斑-鳞状皮肤病、瘙痒症和神经皮肤病的发病率；地震组2与地震组1相比，湿疹和湿疹的发生率显着高于地震组1。另一方面，地震组2与地震组1相比，物理因素引起的感染和皮肤病的发生率显着低于地震组1。我们认为，震后前3个月我院皮肤科门诊就诊人数的变化是由于基础设施受损和生活条件不卫生造成的，后3个月是由于与地震有关的心理情绪因素。
On 17 August 1999 a devastating earthquake with a magnitude of 7.4 on the Richter scale occurred in Marmara region of Turkey and the epicentre of the earthquake was our city. In this study we aimed to determine the influence of a major earthquake on patient admittance's to the outpatient clinic of our dermatology department. All the registrations of the outpatient clinic of our dermatology department in a period of 6 months after the earthquake and the same period last year were revised retrospectively and categorized into 15 subgroups. The first 3 months registrations (earthquake group 1) and the second 3 months registrations (earthquake group 2) after the earthquake were compared with those of the same periods in last year, respectively (control group I and control group 2). Also the earthquake group I was compared with the earthquake group 2. When the results were evaluated, it was seen that the incidence of infections-infestations was significantly higher in the earthquake group I when compared with the control group 1. When the earthquake group 2 and the control group 2 were compared with each other regarding the incidences of the skin diseases, no statistically significant difference was found. The incidences of erythematous-squamous skin diseases, pruritus and neurocutaneous dermatoses; and eczemas were significantly higher in the earthquake group 2 when compared with the earthquake group 1. On the other hand, the incidences of infections-infestations and dermatoses due to physical factors were significantly lower in the earthquake group 2 when compared with the earthquake group 1. We think that the alteration in the admittance's to outpatient clinic of our dermatology department in the first 3 months after the earthquake is due to the damaged infrastructures and unhygienic life conditions and in the second 3 months is due to psychoemotional factors related to earthquake.
