Area of Science:

Dermatology
Occupational Health

Background:

Contact dermatitis is the leading occupational skin disorder, comprising up to 30% of all occupational diseases.
Epidemiologic data indicate that contact dermatitis represents 90% to 95% of all occupational skin disease cases.
This condition carries substantial social and economic implications.

Purpose of the Study:

To summarize the prevalence and classification of occupational contact dermatitis.
To highlight the distribution between irritant and allergic subtypes.

Main Methods:

Literature review of epidemiologic data on occupational skin disease.
Analysis of existing classifications for contact dermatitis subtypes.

Main Results:

Occupational contact dermatitis is the most frequent occupational skin disorder.
Irritant contact dermatitis constitutes approximately 80% of occupational cases.
Allergic contact dermatitis accounts for the remaining 20% of occupational cases.

Conclusions:

Occupational contact dermatitis is a major occupational health issue with significant impact.
The majority of occupational contact dermatitis cases are attributed to irritant reactions.
