“…The increasing resistance to the antibiotics is a challenge to treating doctors. 6 Detailed knowledge about the causative organisms and antibiotic susceptibility pattern should be known for successful treatment. 1 This study aims to find out the prevalence of communityacquired pyoderma in dermatological outpatient department of a tertiary care hospital along with the clinical profile, bacteriological study and antibiotic sensitivity.…”

Introduction: Pyoderma is defined as any purulent skin disease and represents infections inepidermis and dermis or hair follicles. This study aims to find out the prevalence of communityacquired pyoderma in dermatological outpatient department of a tertiary care hospital. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out among patients who presented atdermatology outpatient department of Kathmandu Medical College Teaching Hospital betweenDecember 2018 and March 2019 after ethical clearance from institutional review committee.Convenience sampling method was done. Data was collected and analysis was done using SPSSsoftware, point estimate at 95% CI was calculated along with frequency and proportion for binarydata. Results: Out of 385 cases, 72 (18%) cases were of community-acquired pyoderma. Prevalence ofcommunity-acquired pyoderma is 72 (18%) at 95% CI(). Primary pyoderma was seen in 49 (12.72%)mainly folliculitis 17 (4.41%), furunculosis 16 (4.15%), impetigo 6 (1.55%), abscess 6 (1.55%) andbacterial paronychia 4 (1.03%). Staphylococcus aureus was the most common organism isolated in 42(58.3%) cases and Staphylococcus epidermidis was isolated in 3 (4.17%) cases. Staphylococcus aureuswas most sensitive to Vancomycin 42 (100%) followed by Gentamycin 40 (95.2%), Ciprofloxacin 40(95.2%) and Ceftriaxone 40 (95.2%). Highest resistance was seen to Azithromycin in 13 (30.95%),followed by Cloxacilllin in 11 (26.19%). Males were affected predominantly in 49 (68.06%) ascompared to females in 23 (31.94%). Conclusions: Prevalence of community-acquired pyoderma is high among patients visitingdermatological outpatient departments of a tertiary care hospital compared to other studies.Antibiotic resistance of commonly used antibiotics are increasing and thus proper cultureand sensitivity reports may be required to guide our treatment

“…A combination of betalactam/beta-lactamase inhibitor may be a better option in community acquired infection. Article Info increasing resistance to the antibiotics seen in the microorganism seems to pose a big problem to the clinician (Mishra et al, 2016). Detailed knowledge about the causative organisms and antibiotic susceptibility pattern should be known for successful treatment of pyoderma.…”
