[Recurrent pyoderma as an occupational disease in a butcher]
Abstract:
Butchers seldom file for workman's compensation for the occupational disease pyoderma. In the case presented here there is a clear temporal correspondence between the practice of the trade and the onset of the disease. It is suggested that the disease, contracted by humans from animals, be recognized under number 3107 of the BKVO (list of occupational diseases recognized by West German law). No factors were found outside the butcher's trade which could have contributed to the pyodermia.
