    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Occupational Health
    • Allergology

    Background:

    • Benzidine is a chemical compound with known allergenic potential.
    • Occupational contact dermatitis is a significant health concern in various industries.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To determine the prevalence of Benzidine positivity in patients undergoing patch testing.
    • To investigate concomitant sensitization to p-amino compounds among Benzidine-positive individuals.
    • To identify occupations with a higher risk of Benzidine sensitization.

    Main Methods:

    • Patch testing was conducted on 4600 patients over a 5-year period (1973-1977).
    • Positivity to Benzidine and other p-amino compounds was recorded.
    • Histological examination of patch tests was performed to confirm allergic reactions.

    Main Results:

    • 5.02% of patients (231 cases) showed Benzidine positivity.
    • 16.4% of Benzidine-positive patients had concomitant sensitization to other p-amino compounds.
    • Occupations with high Benzidine sensitization included mechanical, construction, textile, hairdressing, and chemical industries, as well as housewives.

    Conclusions:

    • Benzidine is a relevant allergen causing occupational contact dermatitis.
    • Co-sensitization to other allergens is common among Benzidine-sensitive individuals.
    • Awareness and preventative measures are crucial in high-risk occupations.
