Abstract

We report the cases of 2 patients diagnosed as having primula dermatitis. Both patients were housewives who had been exposed to primula plants. Although only one related her clinical manifestations with looking after plants, the symptoms of both remitted when contact with primula was avoided. The diagnosis was carried out with a patch test concentration of 0.01% primin pet. As primula dermatitis has variable clinical manifestations that can not easily be related to contact allergy, we emphasize the need to include synthetic primin in our standard patch test series.

[Task and task time should dictate the choice of gloves in health care services].

Worldwide consumption of medical gloves increased during the 1980's due to the recognized risk of cross infections in medical and dental care. In Stockholm County Council around 1 million pairs of surgical gloves and 18 millions pairs of examination gloves are purchased per year. In the following paper different glove materials and types are presented and also regulations on use and purchase. The protective capacity of gloves and contact hypersensitivity reactions are also discussed and advice is provided on glove usage.

Redox-modulated pathways in inflammatory skin diseases.

Inflammatory skin diseases account for a large proportion of all skin disorders and constitute a major health problem worldwide. Contact dermatitis, atopic dermatitis, and psoriasis represent the most prevalent inflammatory skin disorders and share a common efferent T-lymphocyte mediated response. Oxidative stress and inflammation have recently been linked to cutaneous damage in T-lymphocyte mediated skin diseases, particularly in contact dermatitis. Insights into the pathophysiology responsible for contact dermatitis can be used to better understand the mechanism of other T-lymphocyte mediated inflammatory skin diseases, and may help to develop novel therapeutic approaches. This review focuses on redox sensitive events in the inflammatory scenario of contact dermatitis, which comprise for example, several kinases, transcription factors, cytokines, adhesion molecules, dendritic cell surface markers, the T-lymphocyte receptor, and the cutaneous lymphocyte-associated antigen (CLA). In vitro and animal studies clearly point to a central role of several distinct but interconnected redox-sensitive pathways in the pathogenesis of contact dermatitis. However, clinical evidence that modulation of the skin's redox state can be used therapeutically to modulate the inflammatory response in contact dermatitis is presently not convincing. The rational for this discrepancy seems to be multi-faceted and complex and will be discussed.
