  • Title: Immunological occupational contact urticaria and contact dermatitis from proteins: a review.
    Author: Amaro C, Goossens A.
    Journal: Contact Dermatitis; 2008 Feb; 58(2):67-75. PubMed ID: 18186738.
    Abstract:
    Protein contact with the skin can be associated with 2 major clinical conditions: contact urticaria and protein contact dermatitis. This article reviews the pathogenesis, clinical pictures and the literature on the proteins having caused immunological occupation-related skin problems, i.e. fruits, vegetables, spices, plants, and woods; animal proteins; grains and enzymes, all affecting a wide variety of jobs. This is illustrated with some cases observed in the contact-allergy unit in Leuven.
