| Resumen |
33 chefs and sandwich-makers with occupational dermatitis of the hands were examined by a standard series of patch tests, patch and scratch tests with a special battery of various foods and spices, the radioallergosorbent test (RAST) and leukocyte migration inhibition tests (LMT). Results fell into 4 different categories: simple irritant dermatitis (2 patients); plain contact dermatitis (6); positive patch and scratch tests (15); positive scratch tests only, termed protein contact dermatitis (10). Food handlers are sensitised by the protein they touch, and then react to later contact with the proteins. The authors recommend scratch tests and 20-min exposure first on normal and next on previously affected skin in patients with suspected occupational dermatitis, and RAST to pertinent foods whenever possible. |
