| Abstract |
14 out of 52 employees at a supermarket developed rashes in the upper extremities, with residual blistering or hyperpigmentation. There was a positive correlation between these symptoms and current exposure to fresh vegetables and flowers at work, and to ultraviolet light in a tanning salon. A multiplicative interaction between these factors is suggested in the aetiology of these cases. |
