Abstract: (40 Views)
Background & Aim: Warts are common skin problems. The role of zinc micronutrient as a therapeutic approach has been associated with different results in different studies. Therefore was conducted with the aim of determining the serum level of zinc in patients with non-genital warts in Gorgan city in 2014. Materials & Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 100 patients with genital warts referred to private clinics in Gorgan city were examined. The samples were selected according to available methods. Patients who had taken zinc supplements or did not want to cooperate were excluded from the study. Then written consent was obtained. After collecting demographic information, 3 cc of venous blood sample was taken in 2-5 laboratory. The serum level of zinc was measured using an atomic device (flame) by spectrophotometric method. The data were analyzed using SPSS-16 software to determine frequency, mean and analysis of variance. The significance level is less than 0.05 was considered Result: The average age of the patients was 20.71 ± 11.285 years. Common wart was the most common type. The mean serum zinc level was 83.61 ± 19.29 Mcg/dl. The minimum serum zinc level was 19.30 Mcg/dl and the highest level was 133.80 Mcg/dl. Gender, economic status, ethnicity, place of residence, positive family history (P=0.160), involved area (P=0.155) had no statistically significant relationship with serum level. The duration of the disease had a statistically significant relationship with the serum level (P=0.028). Periungual type warts had the highest and Plane type warts had the lowest zinc serum levels. Conclusion: Evaluation of serum zinc level in patients with non-genital wart complaints can play an effective role in the healing process. Prophylactic administration of zinc supplements in patients can accelerate the recovery of lesions in patients.
