Description
Leman Tuba Karakurt leads a 2026 study of sleep and skin-related quality of life in children with cutaneous mastocytosis. In this condition mast cells build up mainly in the skin, and the course is often mild, but daily effects are poorly mapped.
Thirty-five affected children were compared with 50 healthy controls. Disease severity was scored with the SCORMA index, sleep with a parent questionnaire, and quality of life with a skin-specific index. Affected children had worse sleep overall, with more bedtime resistance, night waking, and daytime sleepiness. Skin-related quality of life was only mildly reduced and tracked disease severity more than sleep scores.
