A follow-up study was performed of the medical and social condition of 164 patients with an occupational allergic contact dermatitis. A change of work did not always lead to an improvement of the dermatitis. A number of patients improved without changing their job. It is suggested that a change of occupation can only be advised to these patients if the causal allergen can be avoided completely by doing so and only by doing so; at the same time one must reckon with other aetiologic factors and the social situation after change of work. Moreover it is pointed out that patients who changed their occupation did hardly use the possibilities, created by the Dutch law, to obtain expert advice or to be retrained for another job at the expense of the community.
对164例职业性过敏性接触性皮炎患者的医疗和社会状况进行了一项随访研究。工作变动并不总是能使皮炎得到改善。一些患者在未更换工作的情况下病情有所好转。建议仅在通过更换职业能够完全避免致病过敏原且仅通过更换职业才能避免时，才向这些患者建议更换职业；同时，必须考虑其他病因因素以及更换工作后的社会状况。此外，还指出更换职业的患者几乎没有利用荷兰法律所提供的可能性，即获得专家建议或以社会为代价接受再培训以从事另一工作。
