[Occupational allergy to antibiotics].

Of 57 nurses suffering from dermatitis and having occupational contact with antibiotics 37 per cent exhibited positive tests with these drugs. Analogous figures for pharmaceutical industry workers were 34 subjects and 41 per cent and for veterinary surgeons 31 subjects and 29 per cent. A case of an ophthalmist sensitive to dethreomycin under occupational conditions was also recorded. Furthermore, six nurses exhibited inhalant allergy to penicillin manifested clinically by an anaphylactic shock or urticaria or, in two cases, by contact urticaria: one also due to penicillin and the other due to streptomycin.

[Drugs in Poland: a review of literature on the symptoms of side effects].

The present paper gives a review of the data published in Poland concerning side effects of drugs.

The most frequent complications were: shock, urticaria, erythema multiforme and exanthema maculopapulosum.

The value of a mixture of cassia and citronella oils for detection of hypersensitivity of essential oils.

The authors suggest the introduction of a mixture of two essential oils (citronellol and cassia) for consecutive testing of patients with dermatitis. The choice of these two oils is made on the basis of earlier investigations. Chromatographic investigation demonstrated that in this mixture no new peaks appear and no peaks disappear. In accord with this, skin tests with the mixture yielded positive results in nearly all cases of hypersensitivity to citronella or cassia oil and in these cases only. It is suggested that by using the mixture the probability of detecting hypersensitivity to essential oils is increased.

[Dermatoses characteristics for particular occupations. II. Health services and various other services].

The period after which skin changes appear is discussed, as well as localisation of their earliest appearance and allergens characteristic for physicians, dentists, nurses, veterinary surgeons and assistants, photographers and hair- dressers . Photographes handling coloured developers were found to be more exposed to dermatosis than those handling black and white ones. Ladies' hair- dressers suffer more frequently than gentelmen 's and nurses coming into contact with antibiotics and disinfectants are more exposed than other nurses.

Dermatitis from propolis.

22 patients with dermatitis from propolis were studied. In all the 21 tests with propolis were positive, and in 19 they were also positive to balsam of Peru. The chromatogram of the balsam and propolis show marked similarity and 3 identical peaks could be recognised in both substances. Among the patients sensitive to balsam of Peru and propolis, 12 were tested with some common components; 3 were positive to cinnamyl cinnamate, 2 to vanillin and 1 to benzyl cinnamate. Chromatograms of the 3 propolis samples from the Warsaw region were very similar, but not identical. Some of the patients were tested with 35 essential oils and eugenol. Sensitivity to clove oil was common.

[Delayed diagnosis of occupational dermatitis].

Of 182 subjects affected by occupational eczema only in 15% the eczema was found to be developed in the first three months. In 21.8% the diagnosis of occupational eczema was delayed by over 5 years. The methodological and social outcome of the delayed diagnosis was analysed.
