| Abstract |
This brief communication is in reply to a previous report which found no support for the hypothesis that visual display units cause skin diseases. Results of surveys of skin complaints among office workers and school staff are summarized and suggest that there is no over-representation of dermatologic symptoms among the office employees compared with school staff. The influence of the choice of control group on the interpretation of results is stressed. |
