BACKGROUND
The study pertaining to the prevalence of diseases plays a valuable tool in the planning and implementation of health care facilities. The prevalence of skin diseases in Andaman and Nicobar islands, which is rightly called "Little India" considering the heterogeneity of the people living here, will serve as an indispensable tool.
METHODOLOGY
The data from the outpatient records of the Dermatology Department of 2 consecutive years were collected retrospectively, the study duration being January 2017 to December 2018. The diagnoses were classified as per the International Classification of Diseases (ICD 10). The quantitative variables are expressed as numbers and percentages.
RESULTS
Cutaneous infections namely dermatophyte infection, tinea versicolor, impetigo, scabies, molluscum, and warts were the most commonly encountered disorders. Hansen's disease was witnessed in 42 patients. Among the tribals, scabies, dermatophytosis, and pyoderma were the commonly encountered cutaneous disorders.
CONCLUSION
Thus, the data presented in the present study can be extrapolated on the mainland considering the diversity of the population in the Andaman and Nicobar (A and N) Islands.
背景
有关疾病患病率的研究在医疗保健设施的规划和实施中是一种有价值的工具。安达曼和尼科巴群岛被恰当地称为“小印度”，鉴于居住在此的人群的多样性，该群岛皮肤病的患病率将成为一项不可或缺的工具。
方法
回顾性收集皮肤科连续两年门诊记录的数据，研究时间段为2017年1月至2018年12月。诊断按照国际疾病分类（ICD - 10）进行分类。定量变量以数字和百分比表示。
结果
皮肤感染，即皮肤癣菌感染、花斑癣、脓疱病、疥疮、传染性软疣和疣是最常见的疾病。42例患者被诊断为麻风病。在部落人群中，疥疮皮、肤癣菌病和脓皮病是常见的皮肤疾病。
结论
因此，考虑到安达曼和尼科巴群岛人群的多样性，本研究中呈现的数据可推断至印度大陆。
