“…The exact pathophysiological mechanism in PCD is still unclear. Several authors have reported a combination of type I and IV allergic skin reactions, the latter supported by positive delayed patch tests (7,21,52,64,74), while this association has been difficult to prove in most cases (16,37,73,76). Negative patch testing on intact skin does not necessarily mean that a type IV reaction is not involved though: false-negative results might be because of insufficient penetration of the proteins.…”

Immunological occupational contact urticaria and contact dermatitis from proteins: a review

Protein contact with the skin can be associated with 2 major clinical conditions: contact urticaria and protein contact dermatitis. This article reviews the pathogenesis, clinical pictures and the literature on the proteins having caused immunological occupation-related skin problems, i.e. fruits, vegetables, spices, plants, and woods; animal proteins; grains and enzymes, all affecting a wide variety of jobs. This is illustrated with some cases observed in the contact-allergy unit in Leuven.

Occupational Asthma: New Low-Molecular-Weight Causal Agents, 2000–2010

et al. 2012

Background. More than 400 agents have been documented as causing occupational asthma (OA). The list of low-molecular-weight (LMW) agents that have been identified as potential causes of OA is constantly expanding, emphasizing the need to continually update our knowledge by reviewing the literature. Objective. The objective of this paper was to identify all new LMW agents causing occupational asthma reported during the period 2000–2010. Methods. A Medline search was performed using the keywords occupational asthma, new allergens, new causes, and low-molecular-weight agents. Results. We found 39 publications describing 41 new LMW causal agents, which belonged to the following categories: drugs (n = 12), wood dust (n = 11), chemicals (n = 8), metals (n = 4), biocides (n = 3), and miscellaneous (n = 3). The diagnosis of OA was confirmed through SIC for 35 of 41 agents, peak expiratory flow monitoring for three (3) agents, and the clinical history alone for three (3) agents. Immunological tests provided evidence supporting an IgE-mediated mechanism for eight (8) (20%) of the newly described agents. Conclusion. This paper highlights the importance of being alert to the occurrence of new LMW sensitizers, which can elicit OA. The immunological mechanism is explained by a type I hypersensitivity reaction in 20% of all newly described LMW agents.

“…W Finlandii 0,5% zgłaszanych przypadków pokrzywki kontaktowej lub białkowego zapalenia skóry było spowodowanych kontaktem z drewnem (8). Opisano przypadek kontaktowego zapalenia skóry przebiegającego w mechanizmie IgE-zależnym (białkowego zapalenia skóry), z towarzyszącą astmą oskrzelową, spowodowane przez drewno sapeli (Entandrophragma cylindricum) (34). Pokrzywkę kontaktową, w tym o udowodnionym podłożu immunologicznym, może powodować drewno obeche (Triplochiton scleroxylon) (3,57,58).…”

W następstwie narażenia na pył drewna lub materiał drewniany w innej postaci może dochodzić do niepożądanych reakcji skórnych. Obejmują one kontaktowe zapalenie skóry o etiologii alergicznej i z podrażnienia oraz znacznie rzadziej pokrzywkę kontaktową, reakcje fotoalergiczne i fototoksyczne. Opisywano też przypadki rumienia wielopostaciowego. Kontaktowe zapalenie skóry, zarówno alergiczne, jak i z podrażnienia, najczęściej jest spowodowane kontaktem z egzotycznymi gatunkami drewna, takimi jak różne odmiany palisandru czy drewno teak. Występuje ono zwykle u osób zajmujących się zawodowo lub hobbistycznie ręczną albo mechaniczną obróbką drewna. W związku z narażeniem na pył drewna nierzadko obserwuje się powietrznopochodny charakter zmian skórnych. Znane są również przypadki alergicznego kontaktowego zapalenia skóry w następstwie styczności z gotowymi wyrobami drewnianymi, takimi jak biżuteria czy instrumenty muzyczne. Celem pracy jest prezentacja niepożądanych reakcji skórnych związanych z ekspozycją na materiał drewniany, wywołujących je czynników i możliwych źródeł narażenia, na podstawie dostępnego piśmiennictwa.
