The origin of the virus has been the subject of much controversy, reminiscent of the situation 500 years ago, syphilis was first recognized. It has been suggested that the virus may have originated in Africa, perhaps from a simian. Immunodeficiency and spread to the USA probably through haity. In the permissive American Society of the 1970's the virus spread widely among male homosexuals and drug addicts, finally to come out into the open as outbreaks in 1981.

Abstract

Aims and Objectives: To study the incidence in different demographic parameters and clinical, biochemical manifestations, fatal dose and fatal period of hair dye poisoning. Materials and Method: The study was conducted on hair dye poisoning cases which were admitted in Gandhi Hospital, Secunderabad, Andhra Pradesh, India. Various demographic data was collected, different clinical features&biochemical findings were recorded.

Results: There is significant increase in incidence of hair dye poisoning and is high in married women who are housewives. Supervasmol is the major hair dye responsible for poisoning. Clinical features are manifested within 8 hours of poisoning in majority of the cases and tachycardia, dyspnoea, dysphasia are the common features. ABG derangement is the most common biochemical finding.

Conclusions: As Supervasmol hair dye available at lower price in all general stores, it is easy to purchase&consume. Para-Phenylene Diamine (PPD) is the main compound responsible for clinical features of hair dye poisoning. Use of PPD in hair dyes should be restricted to decrease toxicity of hair dye poisoning.
