The aims of the study were to assess the prevalence of and association between occupational dermatitis and possible risk factors in gardeners and greenhouse workers living on Funen, describe the distribution of different types of eczema and detect the allergens most commonly involved. A cross-sectional study, based on a postal questionnaire and subsequent patch testing of selected persons was carried out in 1958 gardeners. The response rate was 84.6%, and among 250 persons patch tested the most frequently sensitizing occupational allergens were plants of the Compositae family and the fungicide captan. Allergic occupational contact dermatitis was suspected in 43 persons (17%). Irritant eczemas outnumbered allergic eczemas and both were most often caused by plants. The lifetime prevalence of occupational dermatitis was 19.6%. Occupational mucosal symptoms, working with Compositae and training as a gardener in females were significantly associated with an increased prevalence of occupational eczema, whereas sex, age and personal atopy seemed to be of less importance.
该研究的目的是评估菲英岛园丁和温室工人职业性皮炎的患病率及其与可能的危险因素之间的关联，描述不同类型湿疹的分布情况，并检测最常涉及的过敏原。1958年，对园丁进行了一项基于邮政问卷调查及随后对选定人员进行斑贴试验的横断面研究。回复率为84.6%，在250名接受斑贴试验的人员中，最常引起过敏的职业过敏原是菊科植物和杀菌剂克菌丹。43人（17%）疑似患有过敏性职业性接触性皮炎。刺激性湿疹多于过敏性湿疹，两者最常见的病因都是植物。职业性皮炎的终生患病率为19.6%。职业性黏膜症状、接触菊科植物以及女性接受园丁培训与职业性湿疹患病率增加显著相关，而性别、年龄和个人特应性似乎不太重要。
