Contact urticaria from rubber gloves: an occupational skin disorder for health care workers.

Rubber allergy is an important occupational health problem for an increasing number of patients. It may produce a type I urticarial reaction, or more commonly, a type IV delayed eczematous dermatitis. The risk groups include health care workers, rubber industry workers, and children with spina bifida (meningomyelocele) and urogenital abnormalities. In this report, we describe a physician with a relevant history who was found to have type I hypersensitivity to rubber by prick test and use test. Our aim is to increase awareness among physicians, discuss diagnosis and management, and review the literature.

The role of vehicles in diagnostic patch testing. A reappraisal.

The correct selection of vehicles for patch testing is crucial in the evaluation of suspected allergic contact dermatitis. We reviewed the literature by using Grateful Med software for the years 1966-1992, utilizing the subjects "vehicles" and "allergic contact dermatitis" or "patch tests". Vehicles can influence bioavailability of the chemicals and subsequently percutaneous absorption or interaction with allergens. There are methodological problems in interpreting studies, such as sample size, percutaneous absorption and clinical aspects. Our judgement, partially validated by the literature, suggested that improved delivery systems (such as via vehicles) might significantly increase optimization, reliability and reproducibility of patch tests.

The less common occupational dermatoses.

Contact dermatitis and nonmelanoma skin cancer are the most common occupational skin disorders in North America, but there are many other occupational dermatoses that illustrate the wide range of pathological and adaptive responses of the skin to workplace exposure. Discussed are acne, chemically induced leukoderma, nail diseases, contact-related burns, high-pressure injection injuries, contact urticaria, heat reactions and photosensitivity, and infections.
