Journal Title: Scholars Academic Journal of Biosciences - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 5
Abstract
Irritant contact dermatitis is a less encountered adverse reaction of the commonly used antiseptic povidoneiodine solution. It is an eye opener for all operating surgeons, to be aware of this adverse reaction of povidone iodine on topical application and also to ponder to opt for other safer antiseptic anti-bacterial agents like chlorhexidine. We present here case report of 66 year old patient with bilateral gross osteoarthritis of both the knees, which was taken up for bilateral total knee replacement surgery at a single setting.Due to povidone iodine dressing, the patient developed irritant contact dermatitis of the bullous type. Oral prednisolone and soframycinointment was used locally, which healed the wounds by POD 14 without excessive scarring or infection.
