Molecular mechanisms and complete antigen formation in allergic contact dermatitis
Allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) is a common T cell mediated skin disease. Small reactive organic molecules called haptens induce ACD. Haptens are not recognized by themselves, but need to bond to endogenous proteins in the skin, and processed further into complete antigens. Antigen specific T …

Fall-Kontrollstudie zur Bedeutung von Polymorphismen im MnSOD-Gen für die Sensibilisierung auf para-Phenylendiamin (PPD)
Allergic contact dermatitis is a hypersensitivity reaction of the skin which is caused by a combination of environmental factors and individual susceptibility. The reason why one individual develops an allergic contact dermatitis whereas others are not affected even under long term allergen …

Predictors of occupational skin disease among seafood processing workers in the Western Cape
… of symptoms (as high as 50%) and protein contact dermatitis (3-11%), the prevalence and patterns of type IV allergic contact dermatitis have not been well characterised in epidemiological studies. The aim of this study was to identify host and environmental risk factors for symptoms, …

Charakterisierung des allergenen Potentials von Arylaminen : in vitro Studie zur Reaktivität von T-Lymphozyten
Allergic contact dermatitis, a delayed hypersensitivity reaction to small molecular weight compounds (haptens), is a common skin reaction causing personal and occupational problems. Patch tests to para-Phenylenediamine and related substances often reveal concurrent reactions which can be attributed …

Bedeutung von Interleukin-6, Oncostatin M und Interleukin-31 für die biochemische und immunologische Barrierefunktion der Haut
… in many skin biopsies from patients with atopic dermatitis is in line with the severe pruritic skin phenotype of IL-31 transgenic mice. The very strong expression of IL-31 in some biopsies from patients with allergic contact dermatitis indicates an involvement of IL-31 in the pathogenesis of this …

Contact allergy to formaldehyde. Diagnosis and clinical relevance.
… used preservatives. However, it is a well-known contact sensitiser in dermatitis patients. The aims of this work were: i) to investigate the prevalence of contact allergy to formaldehyde using the baseline patch test series; ii) to determine the optimal patch test concentration and dose for …

Determinants of work-related skin symptons and dermatitis associated with cleaning agents among health workers of two tertiary hospitals in Southern Africa
… associated with occupational irritant and allergic contact dermatitis in health workers (HWs), but limited information is available on predictors for these outcomes. This study investigated the prevalence and risk factors for work-related skin symptoms (WRSS) and skin disease phenotypes in …

Respiratory exposure and potential dermal exposure to volatile organic compounds in nail salons : a pilot study
… skin sensitisation potential that may lead to allergic contact dermatitis. The methods used to determine potential dermal exposure as well as adjusted dermal exposure remains problematic. This is due to the high percentage of adjusted dermal exposure values that had to be estimated and the fact …

Drug allergy in veterinary medicine awareness, incidence, and clinical characteristics
… not dose-dependent, non-predictable). Drug allergic/hypersensitivity reactions are antigen-specific immune-mediated type B ADRs. They can be immediate (IgE-mediated; “anaphylaxis”) or delayed (IgG- or T cell-mediated). In human medicine, drug allergies are estimated to affect 0.1-3% of the …

Research on Allergic Dermatitis in the Varna Region // Проучване върху алергодерматозите във Варненски регион
Алергичният контактен дерматит (АКД) представлява имунологично-медиирана, възпалителна реакция от забавен (IV) тип при сенсибилизирани към даден алерген индивиди. След настъпване на сенсибилизация на организма, последващата експозиция на алергена, която е над индивидуалния праг на чувствителност …

Contact allergy to fragrances with a focus on oak moss absolute
The exposure to fragrances is widespread and contact allergy to fragrance substances affects 1–4% of the general population. Many fragrance substances are volatile and it can therefore be suspected that they may evaporate from petrolatum patch test preparations applied in test chambers. In the …
