Clinical and epidemiological investigations on 240 bricklayers in Nigeria show an incidence of 2,3% of cement-eczema, 2,0% of wear and tear dermatosis, and 2,8% of sensitivity against chrome. None of the examined showed a concomitant reaction to cobalt chloride. The workers with longest professional contact with cement showed the highest incidence of cement-eczema, and sensitivity against chrome. Workers of the lower age group had a higher alkali neutralization power of the skin than the older workers. The same tendency was noticed in the control tests. Generally, the African skin showed a higher alkali neutralization power than the white skin. The discussion tried to expand on the possible factors which could have influenced the observed rate of sensitization in Nigeria.
对尼日利亚240名砖匠进行的临床和流行病学调查显示，水泥湿疹发病率为2.3%，磨损性皮肤病发病率为2.0%，对铬过敏率为2.8%。所有受检者均未对氯化钴产生伴随反应。与水泥职业接触时间最长的工人，水泥湿疹发病率和对铬的过敏率最高。低年龄组工人皮肤的碱中和能力高于年长工人。对照试验中也发现了同样的趋势。总体而言，非洲人的皮肤比白人的皮肤具有更高的碱中和能力。讨论试图阐述可能影响尼日利亚观察到的致敏率的因素。
