}Abstract Persons with atopic dermatitis run a considerable risk of developing hand eczema when exposed to occupational agents that are a burden to the skin. This also pertains to those with a history of skin atopy in childhood. This review presents estimates of the risk of developing hand eczema and examines the evidence for an effect modification by skin atopy on exposure. Skin atopy at least doubles the effects of irritant exposure and, thus, doubles the risk in occupations where hand eczema…

Patients with atopic dermatitis should be patch tested when indicated because they also develop contact allergic sensitization to a significant degree, and this observations indicate that patch testing with standard allergens often add valuable information about contact sensitivity in these patients.

There is a need for atopic dermatitis to be given high priority in public health programmes because it produces a significant economic burden, has a serious impact on the quality of life of patients and their relatives, and has a significant impact in the economic burden.

The lack of truly epidemiologic data on OCD is illustrated and the distribution of allergic and irritant contact dermatitis in the working population is highlighted, the interrelationship between exogenous (allergens, irritants) and endogenous factors, the prognosis, the social and economic impact, and the need for intervention studies are illustrated.
