More Information
Summary:Lichen urticatus cases attending skin and venereal disease (VD) outpatients were selected for 16 months (From February 2006 to June 2007) at University Hospital, Varanasi, a tertiary care hospital providing comprehensive medical care to the neighboring states and Nepal. Around Varanasi, the climate is subtropical and summer temperature varies from 32 to 46 deg C. Water logging, garbage collection and unhygienic conditions, low socioeconomic strata, overcrowding, cultural habits, use of light clothing, sleeping in open at night in areas with scarcity of electricity and summer and rainy season play an important role in exposing individuals to arthropod bites.
