The role of atopy in occupational skin diseases.

Atopic individuals are predisposed to work-related hand eczema, predominantly on the basis of a lowered threshold for irritation. They comprise an inordinately large percentage of the more difficult and costly cases. It appears that a history of previous atopic dermatitis, rather than previous respiratory allergies, is a better prognosticator of future work-related dermatitis.
