Children living in a board school in the Oryol Region were examined by medical team to reveal prevalence and pattern of distribution of dermatological disorders. Dermatoses were diagnosed with a high prevalence of 95.9%. Two or more skin diseases were found in 51.1% of cases. Infectious and noninfectious dermatological diseases were almost equally prevalent, 48.2% and 51.8% respectively. Among infectious dermatoses mycoses corresponded more than 1/3, viral dermatoses -- about 1/3, pyodermia -- about 1/4. Scabies was diagnosed in 6 (6.7%) of adolescents of 16--18 years old.
