Fishery workers show high seafood allergen sensitization (35.9%). Occupational exposure, atopy, and exposure intensity/duration are key risk factors for allergic sensitization in this group.

Area of Science:

  • Occupational Health
  • Allergology
  • Immunology

Background:

  • Occupational allergic sensitization is a concern in fishery workers.
  • Understanding prevalence and risk factors is crucial for prevention.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the prevalence of seafood allergen sensitization in Greek fishery workers.
  • To identify work-related symptoms and risk factors associated with sensitization.

Main Methods:

  • Compared 64 fish/seafood processing workers with 60 controls.
  • Used skin-prick tests (SPTs) and specific IgE (radioallergosorbent test) for seafood allergens.
  • Assessed atopy and analyzed risk factors using logistic regression.

Main Results:

Related Experiment Videos

  • 35.9% of workers were sensitized to seafood allergens versus 10% in controls (OR 5.049).
  • Shrimp, spiny lobster, and mussels were common sensitizers.
  • Atopy, exposure intensity, and duration were significant risk factors for sensitization.

    • Conclusions:

    • Occupational exposure significantly increases seafood allergen sensitization.
    • Atopy and exposure characteristics are critical risk factors in seafood processing workers.
