ABSTRACT
Povidone-iodine(PVP-I) is a widely used antiseptic for the skin because of its low toxicity and high germieidal efficacy, Allergic contact dermatitis to PVP-I is known to be rare. Two patients who recently underwent surgical operations were referred to us due to pruritic well-demarcated eczematous skin lesions around the wounds. Their operation wounds had persisted in spite of the treatments using systemic antibiotics and topical antiseptics. Patch tests were performed with antiseptics including PVP-I, hydrogen peroxide, and benzalkonium chloride which had been used to dress their wounds. The patch tests resulted in positive reactions to PVP-I at the concentrations of 1% in one patient and 0.01% in another.
