It can be classified as irritant contact dermatitis (ICD) and allergic contact dermatitis (ACD). A cross sectional study was conducted in Mahatma Gandhi Hospital over a period of 3-month duration from March-May 2016 and total 68 patients with suspected contact dermatitis were subjected to patch test.

Objectives: The objective of the study was to analyze the utilization pattern of antibacterials in a tertiary care hospital. Methods: A cross-sectional, prospective, observational study was conducted on patients admitted in inpatient departments of a tertiary care hospital for 6 months. Results: In the study, 152 prescriptions being assessed contained 17.2% antibacterials. The most commonly prescribed drug class among antibacterials was β-lactams (50%). Ceftriaxone and amikacin (10.58%) were the highly prescribed antimicrobials. Maximum number of antibacterials were prescribed as monotherapy and given as parenteral dosage forms. Among the fixed-dose drug combinations, the most commonly used combination was Cefoperazone + Sulbactam (10.58%). Conclusion: This study highlighted an overall pattern of antibiotic prescription in a tertiary care hospital. The most common infection for which the antimicrobials were prescribed was lower respiratory tract infection. Physicians preferred initiating prophylactic treatment than waiting for culture sensitivity test results. The most common antimicrobials prescribed were ceftriaxone and amikacin. Maximum number of prescriptions contained only one antimicrobial which is a favorable observation. Majority of prescriptions contained brand name which needs to be changed by an intervention.

<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>
