Out of a total of 2,666 new dermatology patients, 128 (4.8%) were clinically diagnosed as allergic contact dermatitis. Of these, 107 (4%) reacted positively to different antigens in the patch-test. The commonest contact sensitizers among females were nickel and dyes. Among male patients, the commonest sensitizers were mecaptobenzol-thiazole, chrome and nickel. The incidence of occupational contact dermatitis among bricklayers, construction workers and builders were found to be low and the sensitization rate against chromate was 0.6%. There was no sensitization against cobalt and nickel in the group, however, the length of occupational contact with cement among these group was short. Allergic contact dermatitis is not as uncommon among the Nigeria populace as is generally believed. It seems to be on the increase especially with increase rate of industrialization.
在总共2666名新的皮肤科患者中，128名（4.8%）被临床诊断为过敏性接触性皮炎。其中，107名（4%）在斑贴试验中对不同抗原呈阳性反应。女性中最常见的接触性致敏原是镍和染料。男性患者中，最常见的致敏原是巯基苯并噻唑、铬和镍。发现砖匠、建筑工人和施工人员中职业性接触性皮炎的发病率较低，对铬酸盐的致敏率为0.6%。该组中对钴和镍无致敏反应，然而，这些组中与水泥的职业接触时间较短。过敏性接触性皮炎在尼日利亚民众中并不像普遍认为的那样不常见。随着工业化速度的加快，其发病率似乎在上升。
