| Abstract |
A questionnaire was sent to all 179 employed outpatients of the dermatology department of the Karolineka Hospital (Stockholm, Sweden) who had been diagnosed as having rosacea or perioral dermatitis. The questions related to occupation and the occurrence of video display terminal (VDT) work; VDT workers were asked about their working hours and the perceived effect of VDT work on their skin condition. Results were tabulated along with sex, age, occupational and symptomatological data. Of the 166 respondents, 42 had worked with VDTs; 9 of the 42 felt that VDT work aggravated their skin condition, and 4 of the 8 had begun VDT work before the onset of rosacea. There may be a relation between rosacea and VDT work in these cases. |
