摘要:

A large outbreak of a dermatosis amongst employees in a soft contact lens factory is reported. The itchy, scaly, red eruption occurred on the lace and neck, females with a fair complexion being most frequently affected. The condition was found to be the result of low relative humidity in the ambient atmosphere with additional local factors also involved.

摘要:

Reduction of hexavalent chromium to the trivalent form is of proven value of chrome sensitive individuals; there can be practical problems in doing this with iron sulphate added to cement. Sulphites such as sodium pyrosulphite and sodium dithionite, applied topically to the skin of cement workers, appear to be effective in the prevention of dermatitis. Sodium dithionite possesses practical advantages in the work‐plac

摘要:

The naturally‐occurring sesquiterpene lactone, parthenin, is responsible for a high incidence of allergic contact dermatitis in India. Cross‐sensitivity tests on guinea pigs sensitized to parthenin indicate a relatively high immunological specificity for this low molecular weight hapten. Coronopilin and damsin, sesquiterpene lactones most similar to parthenin, gave positive reactions but other structurally related lactones such as dihydroisoparthenin, tetra‐hydroparthenin, tetraneurin‐A, hysterin, helenalin, and tenulin, or hymenin, a diastereoisomer of parthenin, were n

摘要:

Over a period of 8 years, 66 hairdresser patients were patch tested to the North American Contact Dermatitis Group screening trays, to a hairdressers' screening tray or to both trays. Paraphenylenediamine (PPD) produced positive reactions in 45% and nickel sulphate in 27% of the patients tested. Apart from the PPD substances and glyceryl monothioglycollate, other chemicals tested produced allergic reactions in no more than 4/66 (6%) patients.

摘要:

Positive patch test reactions to cadmium were observed in 8 out of 21 denture wearing persons with burning mouth sensations during 1979 and 1980, and in 13 of 125 consecutive outpatients being routine tested at the Dermatological Department in late 1980 and early 1981, Retesting 17 of these patients after at least 3 months delay with 2.0% cadmium chloride and 2% cadmium sulphate in water showed only 7 with a definite positive reaction. At serial dilution of cadmium sulphate, only 1 person reacted to a 1% aqueous solution. An exposure to cadmium could in 1 case be traced back to a 2‐year period of work in a PVC plant, while in the remaining 6 cases the most probable exposure factor seemed to be chronic heavy cigarette smoking. The observations did not lend support to the pink acrylic denture base material being a relevant cadmium exposure facto

摘要:

4 men working at different times in a factory in a factory where they were exposed to palladium chloride, copper sulfate, formaldehyde, epozy‐fibreglass, lead trichloroethylene and ammonium persulfate, developed erythema multiforme major after 6 yo 12 weeks of exposure. Liver involvement was documented in 3 cases. On the basis of positive epicutaneous tests in 2 of the 4 workers, formaldehyde is presumed to be the cause of the reaction

摘要:

Benzoyl peroxide patch testing was performed on 60 young adults who had participated in a double‐blind acne study. 25% of those who had used a benzoyl peroxide product showed reactivity of +1 or greater (on a 0–3 scale). None of these individuals demonstrated symptoms suggestive of irradiancy or allergy greater than those who did not have positive patch tests and who were on the same treatment program. The positive patch tests did not correlate with acne treatment responses. 2 of 44 individuals in the acne study group developed clinical allergy and had dramatically positive patch tests, while the majority of individuals with positive patch tests could use products containing benzoyl peroxide daily without significant adverse effe

摘要:

The occurrence and course of hand dermatitis in hospital workers was studied on the basis of the patient register of an occupational specialist and by a clinical follow‐up study. About 1% of all the hospital workers had had dermatitis, cleaners, kitchen workers and nurses most frequently. 54% of the patients who were clinically studied had suffered from periodic symptoms and 35% had current hand dermatitis. Those who had previous or present atopic dermatitis had most frequently developed dermatitis during the first year of their service. An atopic constitution seemed to predispose to the development of permanent or periodic hand dermatitis. The patients with sensitivity to nickel or fragrances had relapses in the majority of cases.During the study period, the incidence of new dermatitis cases was constant, but the number of days sick leave showed a decreasing tendenc

摘要:

A patient developed urticaria following exposure to formaldehyde vapour. Evidence is given that this compound releases histamine from the skin of susceptible persons. The action mechanism seems to be different from IgE‐mediated hypersensitivity, as the passive transfer test was negativ
