This report consists of an evaluation of 41 soldiers from the infantry, armored, and artillery division, who developed hand dermatitis from their contact with oils and fuel. A special "tailored" supplementary tray with five reagents relevant to their field of work and environment was performed. The reagents that were used were gun oil, hydraulic oil, automotive lubricant (oil) 20/50, white spirit, and car petrol (gasoline). Seven of the 41 patients (17%) showed one or more positive tests to the supplementary tray. The fact that none of the control group of 64 patients not exposed to these substances showed a positive result to the supplementary tray indicates that false positive results are, at least, not probable. It is suggested that soldiers with occupational hand dermatitis should be tested with supplemental aimed trays that are relevant to their work and environment, in addition to the standard trays.
本报告对来自步兵、装甲兵和炮兵师的41名士兵进行了评估,这些士兵因接触油类和燃料而患上手部皮炎。使用了一个特别的“定制”补充托盘,其中包含与他们的工作领域和环境相关的五种试剂。所使用的试剂为枪油、液压油、20/50汽车润滑剂(机油)、白酒精和车用汽油。41名患者中有7名(17%)对补充托盘的一项或多项检测呈阳性。64名未接触这些物质的对照组患者对补充托盘均未呈阳性结果,这表明至少不太可能出现假阳性结果。建议除标准托盘外,还应对患有职业性手部皮炎的士兵使用与其工作和环境相关的补充针对性托盘进行检测。
