[The most frequent contact allergens in the province of Tarnów].

2492 persons presenting contact eczema symptoms were tested with the 22 standard allergens' set in the Allergologic Laboratory of the District Hospital in Tarnów between 1982 and 1991. 946 persons (38% of all examined patients) had positive patch tests. Chromium, nickel, balsam of Peru, cobalt, prodermin, paraphenylenodiamine, anasthesin were the most often sensitizing contact allergens. The most frequent allergen for women was nickel, for men-chrome. The monovalent contact allergy prevailed over the polyvalent one.

[Occupational dermatoses in the region of Tarnów in the years 1979-1994].

An analysis of the occupational diseases diagnosed in years 1979-1994 in the region of Tarnów revealed insignificant participation of skin diseases in the general number of occupational diseases. The resolute advantage of eczema over other skin diseases among the occupational dermatoses has been ascertain. These diseases appear most often in the workers of architecture, metal, machine and rubber industry as well as in health service. The most frequent cause of the allergic occupational eczema was the metal, epoxy resin and rubber components contact allergy. Polyvalent allergy predominated the monovalent one. This is caused by late occupational skin diseases recognition.

Biological effects of cigarette smoking assessed with the NBT test.

The NBT reduction spontaneous and stimulated test was carried out on 90 men; 30 of which had never smoked cigarettes, 28 subjects have smoked for up to 10 years and 32 subjects--since over 10 years. The investigations demonstrated show that in subjects smoking cigarettes for up to 10 years the spontaneous and stimulated ability of the neutrophils to reduce NBT was increased whereas in the subjects smoking cigarettes since over 10 years impairment of the stimulated NBT reduction was demonstrated. We've come to a conclusion that an exposure to tobacco smoke may activate oxidation-reduction processes of the neutrophils in the initial stage and impair them in longer stage of smoking.

Humans

Ladies' hair- dressers suffer more frequently than gentelmen 's and nurses coming into contact with antibiotics and disinfectants are more exposed than other nurses.
