Description

Background & objectives: Pigmentation and keratosis are the prerequisites to diagnose arsenicosis. However, many systemic manifestations occur in association with pigmentation and keratosis in people exposed to chronic drinking of arsenic contaminated water. The present study aim to find out whether systemic manifestations occur in significant number of cases in arsenic exposed people in the absence of skin lesions in an affected district in West Bengal, India. Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out in South 24 Parganas, an arsenic affected district of West Bengal, India. Both dermatological and systemic manifestations were recorded and water samples collected for arsenic analysis from 7683 participants. A correlation of systemic manifestations in relation to arsenic exposure was carried out in subjects having no arsenical skin lesion. Prevalence odds ratio (POR) was calculated for each outcome comparing those with high arsenic exposure with those with lowest exposure.
