Correct Answer: Pregnant women
Description: Persons with dermatitis herpetiformis and hypocomplementemic vasculitis are at increased risk for sensitivity from Potassium Iodide. It is a contraindication in both the conditions. Known iodine allergy is a contraindication. Caution: Iodine may be used in pregnant women, infants, and children, but safety has not been clearly established. Hence, not a contraindication.
