Reviews on irritant and allergic airborne contact dermatitis have been previously reported in the literature.
Here, we present an update based on recently published airborne-induced skin reactions. For this survey, we screened the journals Contact Dermatitis, Dermatitis, and included relevant articles from other journals during the period January 2007 to December 2011. We also present the airborne cases observed in our department during the same time period.
This survey provides an updated list of causal agents that have produced airborne allergic contact dermatitis, and briefly mentions some other types of skin reaction induced by airborne exposure. The sources of the reactions are multiple: drugs; plants, natural resins, and wood allergens; plastics, rubbers, and glues; preservatives and other chemicals; and metals.
Airborne contact dermatitis is frequent, and most of the airborne allergens (and irritants) identified are in occupational settings. Drugs and preservatives have recently become more important causes. Dermatologists and occupational physicians need to be aware of them.
文献中曾有过关于刺激性和变应性空气传播接触性皮炎的综述。
在这里，我们根据最近发表的空气传播引起的皮肤反应进行了更新。为了这项调查，我们筛选了《接触性皮炎》和《皮炎》杂志，并纳入了 2007 年 1 月至 2011 年 12 月期间其他杂志的相关文章。我们还展示了同期我们科室观察到的空气传播病例。
本调查提供了一个更新的可引起空气传播变应性接触性皮炎的致病因子列表，并简要提及了空气传播暴露引起的其他一些类型的皮肤反应。反应的来源是多方面的：药物；植物、天然树脂和木材过敏原；塑料、橡胶和胶水；防腐剂和其他化学品；以及金属。
空气传播接触性皮炎很常见，大多数已确定的空气传播过敏原（和刺激物）都存在于职业环境中。药物和防腐剂最近成为更重要的致病原因。皮肤科医生和职业医生需要对此有所了解。
