[Claim, recognition and compensation of occupational dermatitis].

Occupational dermatitis are very frequent with important social and economic implications. Detection of an occupational factor must be systematic because it may require prevention and a compensation may be due to the patient. The general practitioner will be assisted either by the occupational physician or by specialised services to help the patient to take the necessary administrative steps.

[Irritant effect of tensides on occupational dermatitis patients in hairdressing and nursing occupations. Comparative studies of healthy persons and neurodermatitis patients].

The irritational disposition of the skin was studied in a control group of 12 healthy persons, 8 patients with neurodermitis, 11 hairdressers with occupational dermatitis and 11 nurses with occupational dermatitis by using the Duhring-chamber-scarification test. For comparison, the alkali resistance test was also carried out. The results show that with the alkali resistance test the irritational disposition towards tensides may not be judged. The present findings show that the increased irritational disposition toward detergent substances seems to be a constitutional factor which favors the development of occupational dermatitis in hairdressing and nursing jobs; with the patient suffering from atopic dermatitis, one must presume an increased irritational disposition towards tensides in most cases.

[Occupational dermatitis: irritation or allergy?].

Occupational dermatitis is a very frequent subject of consultation, as much in general practice as in dermatology. The most frequently found pathologies are linked to environmental factors. In these cases, irritant dermatitis and allergic contact dermatitis represent the majority of the cutaneous problems. Rigorous history taking associated with an attentive examination and a few investigations, essentially consisting of skin testing, form an incontestable tripod. The therapeutic approach, as much preventative as curative, can only be envisaged after having made a precise diagnosis, of which the conclusions should be pertinent and adapted to each patient presenting in consultation. In occupational disease, the distinction between irritant dermatitis and allergic contact dermatitis is primordial.

Glove selection as personal protective equipment and occupational dermatitis among Japanese midwives.

This study was conducted to 1) evaluate the personal selection and use of protective gloves against bloodborne pathogens and management of glove selection in the workplace, 2) survey the experience with occupational dermatitis and other allergic symptoms, 3) explore the relationships between occupational dermatitis experience and glove use, and 4) determine the impact of glove selection upon occupational dermatitis among midwives. Subjects were 1,150 midwives working in Japan. Participants were selected from the members of Japanese Nursing Association and 835 responded to the survey. More than 30% of respondents wore gloves only when clients had an infectious disease, 41% reported experience of occupational dermatitis, 26% associated the dermatitis with medical glove use, and 2% had a diagnosis of latex allergy. Demographic variables that were significantly associated with occupational dermatitis included history of allergic symptoms other than due to occupational exposure, age, tenure and type of working institution. Using latex gloves during administering enema, shaving, changing pads, washing perineum, receiving newborns, suctioning, and handling waste significantly increased the risk of occupational dermatitis experience compared to not using gloves. Logistic regression analysis with backward stepwise elimination revealed glove selection management, such as availability of alternative glove types, using latex gloves for washing perineum, and using latex gloves for handling waste were significant predictors of occupational dermatitis. Occupational dermatitis is a significant issue and glove use as personal protective equipment is not standardized. Some occupational dermatitis may be preventable by managing appropriate glove selection.
