In a series of 545 consecutive contact dermatitis clinic patients, 274 (50.3%) were men, 56 (20.4%) of whom had hand dermatitis alone, 40 (71.4%) being allergic. The common sensitizers were dichromate in cement, nickel on metal gates, colophony, epoxy resins and rubber chemicals. 48 (85.7%) of the hand cases came from occupational sources. Half of the patch-test-negative men worked in wet jobs. The hands of Nigerian men appear to be less tolerant to irritant wet jobs than those of women who had the opportunity of becoming hardened from childhood.
在连续就诊的545例接触性皮炎门诊患者中,男性274例(50.3%),其中56例(20.4%)仅患有手部皮炎,40例(71.4%)为过敏性。常见的致敏原是水泥中的重铬酸盐、金属门上的镍、松香、环氧树脂和橡胶化学品。手部病例中有48例(85.7%)来自职业性接触。斑贴试验阴性的男性中有一半从事潮湿工作。尼日利亚男性的手部似乎比有机会从小就变得耐受的女性对手部刺激性潮湿工作的耐受性更低。
