Abstract
Allergic manifestations in the workplace, including allergic contact dermatitis, are increasingly common. In addition, the association between skin and respiratory allergy is little reported in the literature. We study this association through observations collected at the Service of Medicine of the University centre of Tlemcen's work (CHUT). The aim of this work was to study dermatitis allergic contact (DCA) and respiratory diseases of allergic allure as, as well as to propose a preventive approach. This was a descriptive study that took place from January to July 2010. It includes an analysis of working conditions and a medical survey (questionnaires, clinical examination, respiratory functional explorations, allergy skin tests, and other paraclinical exploration oriented depending on symptomatology). The study population consists of patients having consulted in occupational medicine service (CHUT) for which the diagnosis of occupational allergic contact dermatitis was made at the end of this consultation, a total of 49 patients included in this study (57.1% of men, 42.9% of women) with a mean age of 37.2 ± 10.4 years. Health and the BTP sector professionals are the most represented (38.8% 20.5%, respectively). A history of personal atopy was found in 21% and family in 14%. The proportion of the association of asthma, rhinitis, anaphylaxis to a DCA was respectively 12.2, 61.2, 8.16%. Clinical responses were scored in 20.4% for chrome, 16.3% for latex, in 8.1% to thiuram mix in 6% for Mercapto mix in 2% aldehyde and epoxy resins. There is therefore a significant allergic risk and it is important to give attention to the identification of risk and its evaluation order to implement support and prevention strategies for this risk.
