The physical effects of the arthropod bites on human skin receive less attention, especially in the rural areas where the per capita income is less. Ours is a rural-based hospital, the vicinity having more of plants, trees, and forests; we undertook the study to find out the relation of insect bite dermatitis in a rural area.
The study was carried out in the Dermatology outpatient department of our institute on 100 subjects of insect bite dermatitis who were questioned retrospectively about the sequence of events besides their environmental and living conditions. They were examined thoroughly and the relevant clinical findings were noted, also taking into account the prior treatment taken by them, if any.
It was found that insect bite dermatitis has no age or gender preponderance, and the protective factors for the same are use of full sleeve clothes and keeping the doors and windows closed at night. On the contrary, the risk factors are residence in areas of heavy insect infestation, use of perfumes and colognes, warm weather in spring and summer and the lack of protective measures. However, there was no direct association of atopy with increased risk of developing insect bite dermatitis.
节肢动物叮咬对人类皮肤造成的生理影响较少受到关注，尤其是在人均收入较低的农村地区。我们的医院位于农村，周边植物、树木和森林较多；我们开展这项研究以探究农村地区昆虫叮咬性皮炎的相关情况。
本研究在我院皮肤科门诊对100例昆虫叮咬性皮炎患者进行，回顾性询问他们除环境和生活条件外的事件发生顺序。对他们进行了全面检查并记录相关临床发现，同时考虑他们之前接受的治疗（如有）。
发现昆虫叮咬性皮炎无年龄或性别倾向，其保护因素为穿长袖衣服以及夜间关闭门窗。相反，危险因素包括居住在昆虫大量出没的地区、使用香水和古龙水、春夏季天气温暖以及缺乏保护措施。然而，特应性与发生昆虫叮咬性皮炎风险增加之间没有直接关联。
