TLDR
Morphologically pompholyx was the most common type while aetiologically endogenous hand eczema was the commonest while contact allergy was observed in 55.3% of the cases and nickel sulphate was found to be the commonmost sensitiser.Abstract:
Hand eczema (HE) is a common and distressing condition that is perplexing to the patient and the physician alike. To study the frequency and clinical features of hand eczema and to correlate the frequency of atopy and contact sensitization with different clinical features a total of 61 clinically diagnosed patient of Hand eczema were included within a period of one year. Patch test was done in 47 patients and graded accordingly. The frequency of hand eczema was 0.57%. Morphologically pompholyx was the most common type while aetiologically endogenous hand eczema was the commonest. Contact allergy was observed in 55.3% of the cases of which nickel sulphate (18.5%) was found to be the commonest sensitiser followed by Gentamicin and Fragrance mix though contact allergens with positive patch test in different morphological types of hand eczema have no apparent relevance but it still could contribute to the persistence or exacerbation of hand eczema.read more
