Occupational contact dermatitis (OCD) and occupational contact urticaria (OCU) remain prevalent among U.K. workers and affect quality of life and workability.
Kinlen and Bramald (2001) reported a case control study in Scotland in which a positive association was found between rates of childhood leukaemia (0 4 years) in rural areas and paternal occupations that involved occupational contact.
Most of those studies did not include information on maternal occupational contact level, since maternal occupation was not routinely recorded on available birth or death certificates (Kinlen, 1997; Fear et al, 1999, 2005; Kinlen and Bramald, 2001; Kinlen et al, 2002; Pearce et al, 2004).
The high OR for HE during traineeships among subjects with concomitant FLG mutations and AD is consistent with the results of our recent case control study on occupational contact dermatitis patients and vocational students in training for high-risk occupations.
Glanders in man most frequently occurs through occupational contact with diseased horses, from making an autopsy on a diseased animal, or from making laboratory cultures of the bacteria.
White, S. K., Ma, W., McDaniel, C. J., Gray, G. C. & Lednicky, J. A. Serologic evidence of exposure to influenza D virus among persons with occupational contact with cattle.
In addition to providing guidance for performing and interpreting closed patch testing, the updated parameter provides concrete recommendations for assessing metal hypersensitivity in patients receiving prosthetic devices, for evaluating workers with occupational contact dermatitis, and also for addressing allergic contact dermatitis in children.
Exposures are usually through occupational contact.
ORs were calculated for the occupational contact levels.
Lesions developed on the hands and arms of the milkers after occupational contact with sick animals.
Intensification may also lead to increased levels of occupational contact, increasing potential for zoonoses.
