Abstract
Background
Pyodermas are the commonest of infection observed in dermatological practice. It is defined as any purulent skin disease and represents bacterial infections of skin and hair follicles.
Objective
To evaluate the epidemiological spectrum of pyodermas and assess the role of predisposing factors and clinical profile.
Materials and methods
All new cases of pyoderma presenting to the outpatient department of skin –VD and Leprosy from April 2015 to March 2016 were taken up for the study.
Results
A total of 2560 consecutive cases of pyoderma were included in the study. A total number of 26965 new outdoor patients attended the hospital during this period. So the incidence was about 10% cases of pyoderma. Primary pyodermas were found to be more common as compared to secondary pyoderma.
