In a population of 822 healthy adult volunteers, 2% of the 410 men and 1.5% of the 412 women showed a positive patch test reaction to 0.5% potassium dichromate in pet. Most of the positive reactions (10/14) occurred in the group of 110 offset printers, lithographers and printing plant cleaners with present occupational exposure to chromium. Among the remaining test population, sensitivity to dichromate was rare (4/712). Of the 14 chromium-allergic persons, 9 had present or past hand eczema, 2 had eczema only on the face, and 3 could not recall having had any skin trouble. In 2981 clinic patients tested during a 5-year period, the frequency of chromate sensitivity was 6.8% in men and 2.8% in women among all patients tested, but 20% in men and 8% in women of the 499 patients with occupational hand eczema. The incidence of chromium allergy in separate occupational groups is presented.
在822名健康成年志愿者中，410名男性中有2%、412名女性中有1.5%对0.5%的重铬酸钾石蜡油溶液斑贴试验呈阳性反应。大多数阳性反应（10/14）出现在110名当前职业接触铬的胶印工、平版印刷工和印刷厂清洁工群体中。在其余受试人群中，对重铬酸盐过敏的情况很少见（4/712）。在14名对铬过敏的人中，9人目前或过去有手部湿疹，2人仅面部有湿疹，3人记不起有任何皮肤问题。在5年期间接受检测的2981名门诊患者中，所有受试患者中男性铬酸盐过敏频率为6.8%，女性为2.8%，但在499名职业性手部湿疹患者中，男性为20%，女性为8%。文中列出了不同职业群体中铬过敏的发生率。
