<p class="abstract"><strong>Background:</strong> Allergic contact dermatitis is common dermatoses seen among patients attending dermatology clinics. Allergic contact dermatitis is due to delayed type of hypersensitivity reaction. The diagnosis of allergic contact dermatitis is made by patch testing. A positive reaction to a patch test commonly proves the cause of dermatitis.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Methods:</strong> A retrospective study was conducted<strong> </strong>to estimate the incidence of various allergens among 150 patch test positive patients with allergic contact dermatitis who had attended the dermatology OPD in Rajiv Gandhi Government General Hospital, Chennai, between October 2014 and September 2016. All the details regarding history, examination findings, investigations and patch test results were collected from case records, the data were tabulated and analysed.<strong></strong></p><p class="abstract"><strong>Results:</strong> Allergic contact dermatitis to cement was the commonest (44.7%), followed by nickel (10%) and plant antigens (9.3%). The commonest allergen to be tested positive was Potassium dichromate (82 cases), followed nickel (15 cases) and formaldehyde (8 cases). Most of the patients were in the age category between 41 and 50 years (47 cases– 31.33%). Male to female ratio was 2.41:1. 14 were atopic individuals (9.33%) by Hanifin and Rajka's criteria. Allergic contact dermatitis in 103 cases of our study were of occupational in origin (67%).</p><p><strong>Conclusions:</strong> Avoidance of allergen and proper preventive measures in workplace and day to day activities will lead to significant decrease in the morbidity of the disease and improvement in quality of life in patients with allergic contact dermatitis. </p>

Hospital Study

Objectives: To determine the frequency of different types of eczema inpatients presenting in a tertiary care hospital. Study Design: Cross sectional descriptive typeof study. Setting: Hamdard University Hospital Karachi. Period: January 2013 till December2013. Patients and Methods: All new cases of any type of eczema were registered by nonprobabilityconvenient sampling. Total 192 patients of both genders and all ages were enrolledafter taking informed consent. Diagnosis was made on detailed history and clinical examinationby consultant dermatologist. All specific and relevant investigations were done accordingto requirement. Patients were divided in two groups, exogenous eczema and endogenouseczema, for convenience. Data was analyzed by the latest version of SPSS. Results: Therewere 192 patients, out of which 52.08% were males and 47.91% females. Out of the totalpresented patients 50% had endogenous eczema, 43.37% had exogenous eczema and25.62% had unspecified eczema. In endogenous group 11.45% had hand dermatitis followedby seborrhoeic dermatitis, atopic dermatitis and asteatotic eczema in descending frequencyof presentation. Pityriasis alba, discoid eczema and pompholyx were seen less frequent. Inexogenous eczema allergic contact dermatitis was seen in 14.06% patients, while irritant contactdermatitis in 11.45% patients. Infective eczema and photo-allergic eczema were seen in smallnumber of patients. Conclusion: It was found in this study that allergic contact dermatitis wasmost common type of eczema followed by other types. Whatever the type is, eczema can betreated, symptoms can be relieved and recurrences can be prevented by appropriate therapy.All types of eczema affect patient’s quality of life adversely. However, they can be prevented byeducating patients and their relatives to take adequate safety measures like using good qualityemollients prophylactically.

Allergic Contact

In the past few years, the glucose sensor FreeStyle Libre® has been associated with several cases of allergic contact dermatitis. The allergen responsible for most of these cases is isobornyl acrylate, a substance present within the sensor that migrates through the adhesive, thereby reaching the skin. Acquired leukoderma, which may occur in an area previously affected by allergic contact dermatitis, has been described in several medical devices with adhesives. However, until the present, only one case of leukoderma induced by allergic contact dermatitis to FreeStyle Libre® has been described. We report the case of a 41-year-old woman with diabetes mellitus type 1, who developed leukoderma in association with allergic contact dermatitis to this glucose sensor.

Background: Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) systems replace more and more capillary self-monitoring of blood glucose by patients with diabetes. However, at least a subset of patients experience adverse skin reactions such as severe allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) after prolonged usage of CGM systems. A major allergen isobornyl acrylate (IBOA) has been identified recently. Objectives: After developing an ACD, patients have difficulties in continuing the usage of their CGM system (and also of, eg, certain patch pumps). Most of such patients look for possibilities to continue the usage of, eg, a CGM system that requires intermittent scanning (iscCGM, Freestyle Libre). Patients and Methods: Eight patients with a known ACD were supplied with different hydrocolloid-based plasters ( n = 5 with Hansaplast blister plaster, n = 2 with Cutimed Hydro B from BSN, and n = 1 with Stomahesive baseplate from Convatec). They attached these plasters to their skin underneath their iscCGM system. Results: All patients were able to continue the usage of this iscCGM system when using such plasters. Conclusion: Patients with ACD benefit from the usage of such plasters; however, some limitations have to be acknowledged.

Insight Into

<p class="abstract"><strong>Background:</strong> Skin is exposed to a vast variety of chemicals, organic or biological products among fashion seeking community of today’s world. This put them at risk of contact sensitization. Rapid industrialization, westernization of the society and poor labeling laws of cosmetics put us to the threat of “contact sensitization explosion” in near future. To know the drift of common contact sensitizers in the region, patch testing provides an insight into the cause of allergic contact dermatitis. The objective of the study was to determine the commonest allergen responsible for allergic contact dermatitis among patients attending contact dermatitis clinic in a tertiary care hospital.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Methods:</strong> This retrospective study was conducted in the Department of Dermatology of our institution. We reviewed the medical records of all patients who were patch tested over a period of 6 years, using Indian standard series.<strong></strong></p><p class="abstract"><strong>Results:</strong> A total of 521 patients who were patch tested in the contact dermatitis clinic were included in the study. Nine patients with angry back were excluded. There were 269 males and 243 females. The commonest provisional diagnosis was allergic contact dermatitis secondary to hair dye in 172 (33.3%) patients followed by air borne contact dermatitis to parthenium in 88 (17.3%) patients. The paraphenylenediamine (PPD) being the most common sensitizer in 92 (17.9%) patients was followed by nickel in 86 (16.7%) patients, potassium dichromate in 36 (7%), parthenium in 32 (6%) and fragrance mix in 31 (6%) patients.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Conclusions:</strong> This study revealed higher prevalence of hair dye dermatitis. Paraphenylenediamine was the most common allergen.</p>
