RESUMO
A system for predicting the risk of contact dermatosis in workers handling chemical allergens (epoxy resins) was developed. The accuracy of forecast is up to 86 per cent due to use of anamnestic, clinical, and immunological data. This system can be useful for prophylaxis of contact dermatitis at enterprises where chemical allergens are used.

One of the mechanisms responsible for occupational dermatoses of constructors in contact with Cr-containing substances is supposed to be antibodies production as a result of Cr ion migration in the blood. The authors' measurements led them to the conclusions that no significant rise in blood Cr content occurs with an increase in the service duration, there is a close relationship between Cr blood concentrations and specific skin tests as well as between blood Cr and allergic manifestations. In patients with initial and established forms of occupational dermatosis the number of positive responses to Cr skin tests and frequency, intensity of allergic reactions grow with elevation of Cr concentrations in the blood. It is inferred that the test for blood chromium may serve an additional criterium of early diagnosis of occupational dermatosis.

Individual protective dermatologic agents are an indispensable component of the complex of prophylactic measures for occupational dermatologic diseases control. The last decade has seen a variety of new protective agents: industrial allergen inactivators, effective surfactants, and universal creams. Plamin, a universal cream manufactured in Sweden, is characterized by the optimal protective properties and is resistant to many aggressive media.
