Dermatitis of the hands in industry.

Three hundred and twenty-eight patients were referred for opinion as to whether a dermatologic condition was due to occupational causes. The answer was affirmative in two-thirds of the cases. Of 2,260 patients seen in ordinary private dermatological practice, about 9 per cent had lesions on the hands. Of 128 patients with contact dermatitis considered to be of industrial origin, 121, or 94.5 per cent, had lesions on the hands. Establishing industrial responsibility in cases of suspected occupational dermatitis of the hands is difficult, but in most cases a just conclusion can be reached by following certain guides.
