Epidemiology of contact dermatitis from pesticides in Japan.

An epidemiological study was made of 216 patients with contact dermatitis from pesticides in Japanese rural regions from 1968 to 1970. They were analyzed according to conditions of use, sex, age, occupation, exposure, and season. The pesticides most often responsible were captafol (Difolatan) (28.7%), sulfurs (18.5%), highly and moderately toxic organic phosphates (18.1%), and chlorinated hydrocarbons (9.7%). Complications, sites of dermatitis, prognosis and factors contributing to onset of dermatitis are discussed.

Occupational contact dermatitis due to spiramycin and/or tylosin among farmers.

Nine farmers suspected of having occupational contact dermatitis had positive patch tests to spiramycin and/or tylosin. After diagnosis the dermatitis cleared or improved markedly in seven patients; five of these stopped using the antibiotics in question, and two began to wear gloves while handling the drugs. The two patients who continued use of the drugs and took no precautionary measures had little change in the activity of the dermatitis.

Irritant contact dermatitis from diallylglycol carbonate monomer and its prevention.

We report an outbreak of irritant contact dermatitis from diallylglycol carbonate monomer among factory employees making optical plastic lenses. Symptoms lessened after simple preventive methods were introduced. Further upgrading of production methods lessened symptoms still further and also restored the company's economic viability.

Allergy to lichens. Allergic contact dermatitis from usnic acid produced by lichenized fungi.

Two forest workers affected with allergic contact dermatitis, which occurred only during work in forest areas, showed positive patch test reactions to lichens containing usnic acid and to isolated usnic acid. Lichens are plants composed of fungi living in symbiosis with algae. Usnic acid, one of the lichenic acids which accumulates in lichenized fungi, is a monobasic acid with dibenzofuran structure and antibiotic properties. Dibenzofuran is chemically related to furocoumarans. Lichens are plentiful in temperate zone forests and allergy to usnic acid represents some part of the "cedar-poisoning" problem in British Columbia. Geographical distribution of lichens containing usnic acid suggests that allergy to usnic acid will be found to be more common than presently recognized.

Allergic contact dermatitis from anaerobic acrylic sealants.

Three patients employed in electronic assembly operations had allergic contact dermatitis to polyethylene glycol (PEG) dimethacrylate, found in an anaerobic sealant. Clinical features in all three cases consisted of eczema localized predominantly on the distal parts of the fingers and the palmar aspects of fingertips; onycholysis developed in one patient. No cross reactions to methyl methacrylate were observed on patch testing. Guinea pig maximization testing with both the commercially available sealant and the active resin demonstrated that PEG dimethacrylate is a moderate skin sensitizer.

[ADP-registration of patients with contact dermatitis at the Ullevål hospital. A 1-year material].

Databases for monitoring patients with contact dermatitis have become indispensable for managing a constantly increasing variety of products which cause allergic and toxic dermatitis. As a result of collaboration between the Department of Dermatology and Department of Information Technology, Ullevål Hospital, we now have developed a database for registering patients with occupational dermatitis. The programming tool is DataEase, which contains files for the patients' personal data, site of the dermatitis, results of tests and diagnosis.

Follicular contact dermatitis due to formaldehyde.

2 patients with textile contact dermatitis due to formaldehyde developed follicular, papular lesions. Histologically these papules showed eczematous changes in the follicular epidermis and mononuclear cell infiltrates in the dermis around the involved follicle. The skin between the papules was intact. It is suggested that the concept of "dermal" contact sensitivity does not fit for the explanation of papular dermatitis due to formaldehyde.

The use of laboratory methods in contact dermatitis induced by composite materials.

Thin-layer chromatography, column chromatography, mass spectrometry and nuclear magnetic resonance were used to investigate the chemical constituents and haptens responsible in 2 different circumstances where allergic contact dermatitis from composite materials was suspected. In an aircraft factory where epoxy resins were used, tetraglycidyl-4,4'-dimethyl dianiline and phenylglycidyl ether were identified as the haptens responsible for an outbreak of contact dermatitis. The role of abietic acid as the main sensitizer in colophony was confirmed in a case of contact dermatitis occurring in a sportsman with an acute eczematous reaction due to a leg bandage. Identification of the chemical sensitizers was possible only by using the aforementioned laboratory methods.

Polymorphisms of HLA class III genes in allergic contact dermatitis.

HLA class III polymorphisms (BF, C4A, C4B) were studied in 55 patients of different age and sex suffering from allergic contact dermatitis, with sensitization to different substances. In the overall group of patients no significant correlation between the disease and HLA markers was found. BF F allele was present in 34% and BS S in 64% of patients suffering from allergic contact dermatitis to nickel only versus 16.45% (relative risk, RR = 2.61) and 80.76% (RR = 0.42), respectively, of the control population. The BF FB subtype frequency was 23.91% versus 7.57% in the control samples (RR = 3.88). We thus hypothesize that this polymorphic serum protein might be involved in the pathogenesis of allergic contact dermatitis to nickel.

Nickel contact dermatitis in Fortaleza, Ceará, Brazil (1993-1994).

This work consists in an evaluation of the occurrence of nickel contact dermatitis, its distribution between sexes and in which parts of the body the dermatitis usually occurs. It was accomplished a two year (1994-1995) retrospective study of 404 patch-tested patients which had previous clinical diagnosis of contact dermatitis. The occurrence of nickel sensitization was 19.8%, 88.8% of these 19.8% were women and the rest, 11.2%, were men. The lesions were present predominantly on hands, forearms, earlobes and feet. The authors comment about possible variations of occurrence of nickel contact dermatitis in rural areas and/or tropical countries.
