    Notes: Nursing has been identified as a wet-work occupation, with a high prevalence of occupational irritant contact dermatitis. Reduction of exposure to skin irritants contributes to the prevention of occupational skin disease in nurses. The role of the use of soap and water, hand alcohol and gloves in prevention programmes is discussed. 2 additional measures for reducing exposure to skin irritants are postulated: use of hand alcohol instead of soap and water in disinfection procedures when the hands are not visibly dirty; use of gloves in wet activities such as patient washing to prevent the hands from becoming wet and visibly dirty. We investigated the effectiveness of these recommendations in a model. Mean daily wet-work exposure during nursing work was modelled: regular model. We also modelled exposure to skin irritants in combination with the implementation of these recommendations: prevention model. The hands of healthy volunteers were exposed to the regular or the prevention model over 3 weeks for 5 days a week. The change in transepidermal water loss (TEWL) on the back of the hands was measured after 3 weeks of exposure to these wet-work simulations. An increase in TEWL occurred with the regular model, while mean TEWL decreased in the prevention model. Skin irritation from occlusion by gloves appeared to be more pronounced in the regular model compared to the prevention model. The results of this study justify the conclusion that in nursing work, hand alcohol is the preferred disinfectant. Although the prevention model implies increased occlusive exposure, this has no additional irritant effect, probably because of the absence of soap exposure.

    Contact allergens in shoe leather among patients with foot eczema (2002)
    Oxford, UK : Munksgaard International Publishers
    Contact dermatitis 46 (2002), S. 0

    Notes: Some patients with relapsing foot eczema and a shoe leather allergy, who fail to show positive results with standard series and shoe wear screening tray patch testing, do not respond to the use of hypoallergenic shoe leather. We assume that relevant allergens are present in hypoallergenic shoe leather. We described an experiment to demonstrate the presence of these allergens. Alcoholic extracts were made of green, black and undyed hypoallergenic shoe leather, and the extracts were fractioned by paper chromatography. The resulting chromatograms were cut into 16 equal paper disks and patch tests were performed with extracts and the paper chromatography fractions. Positive reactions were seen to all extracts and to fractions of all types of leather. From analysis of the pattern of positive patch tests we concluded that leather-related allergens (e.g. tanning agent) and dyes were present in hypoallergenic shoe leather. In these cases, alternatives to shoe leather should be sought, for instance wooden or plastic shoes.

    Rubbing test responses of the skin to man-made mineral fibres of different diameters (1994)
    Oxford, UK : Blackwell Publishing Ltd
    Contact dermatitis 31 (1994), S. 0 
    Details
    ISSN: 1600-0536
    Source: Blackwell Publishing Journal Backfiles 1879-2005
    Topics: Medicine
    Notes: The irritant potency of 5 types of insulation wools (2 types of rockwool and 3 types of glass wool) were studied on the basis of their differences in diameter by a standardized rubbing test. Assessment was done by laser Doppler flowmetry (LDF) and erythema scores. Insulation wools show a wide distribution of the diameter around the mean. Of the rockwool material, 30% consisted of small grains, called “shot”. The control test site did not change over time; thus, the rubbing procedure itself does not seem to contribute to the skin reactions. All fibre types proved to be irritant to the skin. The irritant reactions did not correspond with the mean diameter, although the fibre type with the smallest diameter was the least irritant and the fibre type with the largest diameter the strongest. The presence of “shot” had a significant effect on the LDF responses. “Shot” and the distribution around the mean diameter may play a role in eliciting the skin irritation by insulation wools.

    Prevalence, incidence and course of eczema on the hands and forearms in a sample of the general population (1984)

    Notes: In 1979, the inhabitants of a geographically defined area were examined for skin disorders of the hands and forearms. In 1982 this cohort was invited for re-examination. In persons with eczema, patch testing was performed. Irritant factors were found to play a rôle in 73% of the cases, whereas a contact allergy could be detected in 30%. The must frequent allergens were nickel sulphate (20%), potassium dichromate (6%), land cobalt chloride (4%). In some persons with a definite history of allergy to metals, no positive patch test with nickel, chromate or cobalt could be obtained; other mechanisms may be involved. Significantly more positive patch tests were found among persons with an eczema of longer than 2 years duration compared with persons, with eczema present for a shorter period of time, indicating that many cases of eczema are primarily of irritant nature, but later complicated by sensitisation.In 41%, the eczema was healed. A poor healing tendency was observed in those with a combination or irritant and allergic eczema. Relatively few ascribed healing to medical treatment.

    Hand dermatoses and contact allergic reactions in construction workers exposed to epoxy resins (1984)

    Topics: Medicine
    Notes: In 23/135 (18%) workers exposed 10 epoxy resins, a work-related dermatosis on the hands and/or forearms had been present during the past 3 years. In 9 persons, the occupational dermatosis was still present at the time of investigation. In all workers, patch tests were performed with epoxy resin, isophoronediamine, triethylenetetramine and xylenediamine. Positive patch tests were observed in 27 of the 135 exposed workers (20%) 13 of whom had never previously experienced skin problems. Epoxy resin accounted for the majority of the positive reactions. There was no relation between a history of atopy and the development of contact allergy. Only half of all workers had received any safety instructions. The wearing of gloves (mostly cotton), intended to protect the skin, had an adverse effect.

    Irritant hand dermatitis: severity of disease, occupational exposure to skin irritants and preventive measures 5 years after initial diagnosis (2004)

    Notes: Irritant contact dermatitis (ICD) is often chronic; its aetiology frequently being related to occupational exposure. Management of ICD involves persistent reduction in exposure to skin irritants such as water, detergents and prolonged occlusion by gloves. The aim of this study was to determine the severity of hand dermatitis 5 years after initial diagnosis and to find out what factors were related to this outcome. A questionnaire survey was carried out on severity of hand dermatitis, exposure to skin irritants and preventive measures, 5 years after initial ICD diagnosis. Of a cohort of 201 patients with ICD, 172 received the questionnaire and 124 (72%) responded. 5 years after initial diagnosis, 50% still had medium and 32% severe hand dermatitis. Patients with severe ICD and high exposure showed low levels of prevention and difficulty in changing their occupational exposure. Use of emollients was predominantly therapeutic rather than preventive. Occupation was changed in 57% of cases, of which 46% was permanent. In this population, ICD is a chronic disease; implementation of secondary preventive measures appears to fail. In occupations with high exposure to skin irritants, implementation of permanent exposure reduction is more difficult, compared to occupations with a medium level of exposure. High exposures might have led to change of occupation; medium exposures could have been reduced to low levels. In occupations with high exposure, women were overrepresented.
