Of the 801 persons who responded, 15% reported hand eczema on some occasion in the previous 12 months, and 57% admitted dry skin on the hands. In a 2nd part of the study, those who reported hand eczema were examined and patch tested with a standard series and a special \u201ccar mechanics' series\u201d. The most common diagnosis was irritant contact dermatitis, 55%, and 2nd was allergic contact dermatitis, 19%. 35\/105 (33%) had a total of 51 positive patch test reactions, all to substances in the standard series, except for 2 persons who reacted to oxidized <jats:italic>d<\/jats:italic>\u2010limonene. The most frequent reactions were to thimerosal (9%), nickel (8%) and colophony (5%). One plausible explanation for the high prevalence of nickel allergy was the common use of nickel\u2010plated tools. 5 individuals had a history of contact urticaria, but scratch tests were negative. It was concluded that car mechanics are at high risk for contact dermatitis on the hands, irritant as well as allergic.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1600-0536.1994.tb00692.x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2006,4,11]],"date-time":"2006-04-11T22:28:08Z","timestamp":1144794488000},"page":"129-134","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":71,"title":["Hand eczema in car mechanics"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"30","author":[{"given":"Birchta","family":"Meding","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Lars","family":"Barreg\u00e5rd","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Kjell","family":"Marcus","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2006,4,11]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_1_2_2","first-page":"287","article-title":"Epidemiology of skin disease in an automobile factory","volume":"21","author":"Newhouse M L","year":"1964","journal-title":"Br J Ind Med"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_3_2","first-page":"56","article-title":"Epidemiology and pathogenesis of occupational skin diseases in automobile factory workers","volume":"1","author":"Sinitsyn B I","year":"1988","journal-title":"Vestn Dermatol Venerol"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1600-0536.1992.tb00130.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_5_2","unstructured":"MedingB.Epidemiology of hand eczema in an industrial city.Acta Dermato\u2010venereologica1990:suppl 153."},{"key":"e_1_2_1_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1600-0536.1981.tb04085.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"305","DOI":"10.2340\/0001555565305312","article-title":"Hand eczema in patients with history of atopic manifestations in childhood","volume":"65","author":"Rystedt I.","year":"1985","journal-title":"Acta Dermato-venereologica"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_8_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1600-0536.1985.tb02553.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_9_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0190-9622(89)70056-6"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_10_2","volume-title":"Manual of contact dermatitis.","author":"Fregert S.","year":"1981"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_11_2","volume-title":"Confidence intervals and statistical guidelines","author":"Gardner M J","year":"1989"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_12_2","first-page":"752","volume-title":"Contact dermatitis.","author":"Fisher A A","year":"1986"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_13_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/annhyg\/35.4.419"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_14_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1600-0536.1992.tb00129.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_15_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/01634989-199109000-00003"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_16_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1600-0536.1980.tb03915.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_17_2","volume-title":"Modern epidemiology.","author":"Rothman K J","year":"1986"},{"issue":"61","key":"e_1_2_1_18_2","article-title":"Hand eczema and other hand dermatoses in South Sweden","volume":"49","author":"Agrup G.","year":"1969","journal-title":"Acta Dermato-venereologica"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_19_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1600-0536.1992.tb00861.x"}],"container-title":["Contact Dermatitis"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/api.wiley.com\/onlinelibrary\/tdm\/v1\/articles\/10.1111%2Fj.1600-0536.1994.tb00692.x","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/api.wiley.com\/onlinelibrary\/tdm\/v1\/articles\/10.1111%2Fj.1600-0536.1994.tb00692.x","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1111\/j.1600-0536.1994.tb00692.x","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2023,11,23]],"date-time":"2023-11-23T07:38:30Z","timestamp":1700725110000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/10.1111\/j.1600-0536.1994.tb00692.x"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[1994,3]]},"references-count":18,"journal-issue":{"issue":"3","published-print":{"date-parts":[[1994,3]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1111\/j.1600-0536.1994.tb00692.x"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1111\/j.1600-0536.1994.tb00692.x","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["0105-1873","1600-0536"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0105-1873","type":"print"},{"value":"1600-0536","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[1994,3]]}}}
