Discussion

Retrospective analysis reveals clinical features and demographics of childhood vitiligo, suggesting differing responses in young patients.

The study found that vitiligo commonly begins before age 12 in 88.6% of pediatric patients.
Non-segmental vitiligo was the most prevalent type, accounting for 87.7% of cases, with generalized vitiligo as the most common subtype.
Lower neutrophil percentage and inflammatory markers were noted in children with early-onset vitiligo, indicating a potential difference in inflammatory response.
Eosinophil counts were significantly lower in females, suggesting potential effects of sex hormones on immune responses.

Zorlu et al. (2025) studied this question.
