Pulmonary infiltration due to aerosol thesaurosis - A survey of hairdressers
Infiltration pulmonaire résultant d'une thésaurismose par aérosols - Etude portant sur le personnel des salons de beauté. [in French]
Translation of: Pulmonary infiltration due to aerosol thesaurosis - A survey of hairdressers. Archives of Environmental Health, Chicago, USA, Aug. 1972, Vol.25, No.8, p.101-108. 23 ref. By way of contribution to the controversy concerning the existence of thesaurosis, the authors of this study describe 5 cases of pulmonary infiltration probably due to hair sprays, review published cases of thesaurosis and discuss diagnostic features. The results of a study carried out on beauticians, showing increased bronchovascular markings in 11 cases out of 227, are given. The authors conclude that, until more sophisticated methodology can be devised, a diagnosis of thesaurosis can be made only by exclusion.

Shampoo dermatitis in apprentice hairdressers.
The results of a national survey indicate that each year several hundred apprentice hairdressers in the United Kingdom suffer from dermatitis of the hands as a result of excessive exposure to shampoos. Dry skin, eczema or psoriasis are sometimes predisposing causes. Preventive measures are outlined, which if fully implemented could considerably reduce the incidence of shampoo dermatitis in apprentice hairdressers.

Dermatological study of hairdressers
Estudio dermatológico en peluqueros [in Spanish]
Results of the clinical examination of 100 ladies' hairdressers including skin sensitivity tests to standard allergens (lavander oil to detect sensitisation to the terpene group due to wearing rubber gloves, a 1% soda solution to determine shampoo alkanility, p-phenyl to determine dye aggressivity) and to specific allergens (3 types of hair spray and 3 permanent wave preparations). No skin lesions of occupational origin were found during this study which did, however, bring to light occupational stigmata (hyperhidrosis, erythrocyanosis, tattooing, acne) and various non-occupational diseases.

CIS 72-2762 Reichenberger M.
Results of first examinations of dermatitis in hairdressers, with particular reference to dyshidrosis
Befunde bei Erstuntersuchungen von Hautkranken im Friseurgewerbe unter besonderer Berücksichtigung der Dyshidrosis [in German]
Report on initial findings (skin lesions, length of employment, skin-test results, mycoses) in 158 hairdressers (137 females and 21 males) and recommendations on further employment. A third of the subjects presented signs of skin disorders during the first year of apprenticeship, and over two-thirds before the end of apprenticeship. The incidence of allergy was virtually the same in all age groups but dyshidrosis, with or without other skin signs or symptoms, occurred most frequently amongst the youngest subjects. Contact eczema normally regressed following removal from exposure to the causative agent; however, dyshidrosis persists and necessitates a change of occupation.
