Background: Continual surveillance based on patch test results has proved useful for the identification of contact allergy. Objectives: To provide a current view spectrum allergy to important sensitizers across Europe. Patients/Methods: Clinical and data 19 793 patients tested in 2005/2006 31 participating departments from 10 European countries (the Surveillance System Contact Allergies' (ESSCA) www.essca‐dc.org ) were descriptively analysed, aggregated four regions. Results: Nickel sulfate...
Summary Background Occupational contact dermatitis is one of the most common occupational diseases in E urope. In order to develop effective preventive measures, detailed and up‐to‐date data on incidence, main causes professions at risk are needed. Objectives To describe pattern patch test reactivity allergens uropean baseline series patients with different occupations. Methods We analysed collected by S urveillance ystem C ontact A llergy ( ESSCA ) network from 2002 2010, 11 countries....
Background. The pattern of contact sensitization to the supposedly most important allergens assembled in baseline series differs between countries, presumably at least partly because exposure differences. Objectives. To describe prevalence tested consecutive patients years 2007 and 2008, discuss possible Methods. Data from 39 departments 11 European countries comprising Surveillance System on Contact Allergy network ( www.essca‐dc.org ) this period have been pooled analysed according common...
Contact allergy is a common condition and can severely interfere with daily life or professional activities. Due to changes in exposures, such as introduction of new substances, products formulations regulatory intervention, the spectrum contact sensitization changes.To evaluate current allergens present European baseline series (EBS) across Europe.Retrospective analysis data collected by Surveillance System on Allergies (ESSCA, www.essca-dc.org) consecutively patch-tested patients, 2013/14,...
Since January 2001, the European Surveillance System on Contact Allergies (ESSCA), supported by Union funding (contract QLK4‐CT‐2001‐00343), has started to collect patch‐test data. This comprises a standardized clinical history and results using standard series, from 17 centres in 9 countries listed above. In 2002 2003, 10 511 patients' test have been pooled analysed. The anamnestic data partly reflect subspecialties of some centres. most common allergen was nickel sulfate (17.3%); however,...
Work-related skin diseases (WSD) are caused or worsened by a professional activity. Occupational (OSD) need to fulfil additional legal criteria which differ from country country. OSD range amongst the five most frequently notified occupational (musculoskeletal diseases, neurologic lung of sensory organs, diseases) in Europe.To retrieve information and compare current state national frameworks pathways manage patients with disease regard prevention, diagnosis, treatment rehabilitation...

Among 1619 patients suspected of occupational contacT dermatitis examined during the years 1990 1994, sensitivity to acrylates was diagnosed in 9 persons 14 dental technicians. 4 dentists. 1 textile printer). Ethyleoeglycol dimethacrylate (5 positive patch tests), methyl methacrylate (4). 2‐hydroxyethyl (4) and triethyleneglycol were most common sensitizers, Comparison test results technicians dentists indicated that sensitive a greater number (meth)acrylate (aerylate methacrylate) allergens...
Summary Background Allergic contact dermatitis caused by rubber allergens is common, and causes significant patient morbidity. Contemporary data are important to allow appropriate preventive measures identification of allergy trends. Objectives To describe the pattern patch test reactivity allergens, including those in E uropean baseline series. Methods Data collected S urveillance ystem on C ontact A llergies ( ESSCA ) network between 2009 2012 from 12 countries were analysed. Results...
The problems of self-image among patients with dermal have been seldom explored. As diseases detrimentally affect well-being, functioning and adaptation dermatology patients, they may decrease the level self-acceptance. Self-image, on other hand, significantly own mental health status quality life (QoL) in that group patients. aim our research was to assess respect their self-acceptance.The participants were Occupational Diseases Outpatient Clinic Environmental Allergy Centre Nofer Institute...
Background. High prevalence of occupational dermatoses among hairdressers has been confirmed in many studies, while work-related skin disorders apprentice are less known. Objectives. The aim the study was to investigate frequency hairdressers, and identify factors contributing development during vocational training. Patients methods. One hundred thirty-nine aged 17–19 years, were included study. A questionnaire survey, personal interview, dermatological examination patch tests conducted....
Background. Contact allergy among adolescents is an important issue. Objectives. To assess the prevalence of contact to metals in aged 15 years and nickel release from metal accessories that are direct with skin. Methods. Three hundred nine females 219 males, all old, randomly selected secondary schools were examined patch tested sulfate, cobalt chloride, palladium potassium dichromate. ninety‐nine dimethylglyoxime (DMG) test. Results. ‘Metal dermatitis' was reported by 19.4% 0.5% males....
Dermatological examinations were performed in 81 workers involved the manufacture of electric coils for television displays, who had worked 4 years contact with a glue containing isobornyl acrylate, acrylic acid, N,N dimethyleneacrylamide, phosphine oxide, bis(2,6-dimethoxybenzoyl) (2,4,4-trimethylpentyl)- and beta-carboxyethyl acrylate. The was cured by 350-500-nm ultraviolet visible radiations. Acrylate-specific dermal lesions detected 21 (25.9%) people. Occupational irritant dermatitis...
A constantly growing social demand for orthopedic implants has been observed in Poland. It is estimated that about 5% of patients experience post-operation complications. suspected this group an allergic reaction contributes to rejection metal implants.The aim our study was assess contact allergy metals 14 people (9 women and 5 men) suffering from poor implant tolerance. In some them, recurrent skin eruptions, generalized or nearby implants, have occurred 3 fistula observed. These complaints...
Abstract: Systemic contact dermatitis can be elicited in nickel sensitive individuals by oral exposure from food with high content of this metal, such as cocoa. We present a case report nonatopic teenager who developed allergic due to nickel, cobalt, copper, and palladium, but exacerbations skin lesions were mainly related cocoa consumption.
Summary Background Allergic contact dermatitis caused by p ‐phenylenediamine ( PPD ) is common among all age groups and both sexes. Monitoring of prevalence intensity sensitization important. Objective To evaluate allergy to in E urope, compare reaction intensities different uropean regions. Methods Data collected the S urveillance ystem on C ontact A llergies ESSCA network between 2002 2012 from 12 countries were analysed regarding prevalence, grading positive reactions , relevance.

Abstract
We report the case of a manicurist who developed an allergic skin reaction to acrylates, manifested by bullous lesions on fingertips and eczema hands ears. Patch tests showed positive reactions 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate, 2-hydroxypropyl ethyleneglycol dimethacrylate, triethyleneglycol 1,6-hexandiol diacrylate, acrylate diacrylate. Because her disorder, she had give up job. She was not correctly advised retraining started work as dental nurse. Soon after re-exposure acrylates in materials,...
Occupational skin diseases in Poland constitute about 9% of all occupational diseases. allergic contact dermatitis (OACD) account for 95% diagnosed During 1990–1994 we have 332 OACD cases (159 men, 173 women). was most frequent health care workers (25.6%), the metal-working and machine-building industry (19.6%), house-building (13.9%). allergy frequently due to exposure chromates (38.8%), cobalt nickel (30.7%), also formaldehyde (18.1%) epoxy resins (9.1%).
