“…Hand eczema (HE) is a frequent and complex disease in terms of morphology, location, and especially of etiology [1,2]. In contrast to acute HE, chronic hand eczema (CHE) is characterized by longer disease duration or recurrent episodes and is frequently refractory to topical anti-inflammatory treatment.…”

et al. 2014

Background: Itching is a leading symptom of chronic hand eczema (CHE) having a great impact on patients. The determinants of itching in CHE are unclear. Objective: We performed a cross-sectional analysis investigating factors associated with the presence and severity of itch in CHE patients from the CARPE registry. Methods: We present baseline data on itch in relationship with sociodemographic factors, severity of CHE, atopy, contact allergy, treatment and patient- reported outcomes including health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Results: Of 1,051 patients with CHE, 78.1% reported itching. Significant positive associations with itching were observed for younger age groups (17-25 and 26-45 years), for moderate, severe and very severe CHE and for small/moderate impairment in HRQoL. Atopic skin diathesis, hardly being able to realize treatment recommendations and very or extremely large impairments in HRQoL were associated with itch severity. Conclusion: Taking the identified variables into account may help identify vulnerable groups most affected by (severe) itch.

“…Danimarka'da yapılan bir çalışmada 15 bizim çalışmamızla benzer şekilde yüz tutulumu ikinci sırada yer alırken, çalışırken bacakları kapatan kıyafetlerin giyilmediği Hindistan'dan bildirilen bir çalışmada 8 ise bacak tutulumu ikinci sırada yer almaktadır. On ayrı Avrupa ülkesinin verileri toplanarak yapılan bir çalışmada mesleki olan ve olmayan tüm el egzamalarının en sık parmaklara yerleştiği saptanmıştır 7 . Bizim çalışmamızda en sık avuç içi tutulumunun olması mesleki el egzamalarının elin geniş yüzeylerine yerleşme eğiliminde olduğunun bir göstergesi olabileceği gibi hastanemize genellikle kronik dermatitli hastaların başvurmasından da kaynaklanabilir.…”

Background and Design: Occupational contact dermatitis (OCD) is responsible for 80-90% of the occupational dermatoses. The aim of this work was to evaluate the clinical features of patients with OCD admitted to our hospital. Materials and Methods: The records of patients, who were admitted to our hospital with OCD between December 2009 and January 2013, were evaluated retrospectively. One hundred fifty-nine patients, who were diagnosed with OCD according to the Mathias criteria, were included in the study. Age, sex, location of the lesions, atopic status, glove use, occupational exposure time and total IgE levels of the patients were assessed. Patients with positive allergic reaction with "European Standard Series Skin Patch Test" were identified as allergic OCD and patients with negative test results as "irritant OCD". The clinical features and patch results of patients are evaluated. Results: One hundred fifty-nine patients with a mean age of 39±7.9 years consisted of 151 men and 8 women. The hands were the most common site of OCD; the palms were the most common affected areas of hand eczema. Eighty-one patients (50.1%) were identified to have allergic OCD and 78 (49.9%) as irritant OCD. Irritant OCD was most commonly seen in dental technicians, whereas allergic OCD was most commonly seen in tailors. The top 3 most frequent allergens were potassium dichromate (15.1%), nickel sulfate (9.11%) and cobalt chloride (10.7%). Conclusion: In our country, there has been no comprehensive study presenting the clinical and descriptive characteristics of OCD. For preventing OCD and reducing sick leave we need to have data that belong to our country. Consequently, multicenter studies should be performed for establishing our own database on OCD.
