[Detection of high-risk group with irritant hand dermatitis]

Patients with atopy and especially these with atopic skin diseases, hand eczema and dishidrosis have been identified as a high-risk group developing irritant hand dermatitis. To improve prevention pre-occupational examinations (screening tests) in youth have been proposed. Dermatological examinations, questionnaires and some bioengineering techniques are usually suggested. The necessity of application of ASD score has been confirmed. Because of the high irritant hand eczema morbility and socio-economic consequences detection of high-risk group plays a special role. It is possible by means of: 1. Special questionnaires 2. Dermatological examinations, education, observation 3. Conception and realization of skin--safe working conditions.
