The impact of vitiligo on quality of life (QOL) of children is not well studied. In this cross-sectional study, QOL in the form of Children's Dermatology Life Quality Index (CDLQI) was assessed in 114 children with vitiligo over a year. The mean CDLQI was 2.72 ± 3.35. There was a significant correlation of body surface area involved with the DLQI and the impairment was higher in older children. The psychosocial burden of vitiligo in children cannot be ignored and must be tackled early on in order to prevent an ever lasting impact on young minds.

印度一家三级保健中心儿童白斑患者的生活质量评估

白斑病对儿童生活质量 (QOL) 的影响尚未得到充分研究。在这项横断面研究中，以儿童皮肤病生活质量指数 (CDLQI) 的形式对 114 名白斑病患儿进行了一年以上的 QOL 评估。平均 CDLQI 为 2.72 ± 3.35。体表面积与 DLQI 有显着相关性，年龄较大的儿童受损程度更高。儿童白斑病的社会心理负担不容忽视，必须及早解决，以防止对年轻人的思想产生持久影响。
