Contact dermatitis from lacquer has been documented. The causative agent is a resin from a lacquer tree that can induce either irritation or sensitization. Thai and Japanese lacquer trees are 2 distinct species but are both members of the Anacardiaceae family. We report 3 cases of contact dermatitis from Thai lacquer resin. Observation and study of the lacquer plantation and working process at the factory were made to elucidate the aetiology of the dermatitis.
漆引起的接触性皮炎已有文献记载。致病因子是漆树的一种树脂,可引起刺激或致敏。泰国漆树和日本漆树是两个不同的物种,但都是漆树科的成员。我们报告了3例由泰国漆树脂引起的接触性皮炎病例。对漆树种植园和工厂的工作过程进行了观察和研究,以阐明皮炎的病因。
