Abstract
Dentro de la Medicina Laboral las dermatosis ocupacionales suponen entre el 30-60% del total de enfermedades profesionales y, dentro de ellas el 80-90% son dermatitis de contacto. Este alto número no se ve reflejado en datos oficiales debido a que en muchas ocasiones, al ser condiciones de rápida resolución o de escasa repercusión sistémica, no son declaradas. En relación a las dermatitis de contacto, la forma más frecuente en el entorno laboral es la forma alérgica y la que preferentemente se declara, al ser un proceso que en muchas ocasiones constituye motivo de incapacidad. Para el abordaje diagnóstico y correspondiente asociación con el entorno de trabajo es imprescindible realizar una historia clínica laboral completa junto con la descripción de las lesiones, y la utilización de métodos diagnósticos distintos a los de otros procesos no cutáneos, como son las pruebas de parche (patch test) o pruebas epicutáneas. Constituyen un método simple, accesible y seguro para llegar al diagnóstico de las dermatitis alérgicas de contacto. Incluyen una batería estándar, propia de un país donde se trabaja, ampliada de baterías específicas en relación con el perfil, las tareas y los productos manipulados por el trabajador. La prevención en el trabajo es el único tratamiento etiológico para la sustitución y control de los riesgos laborales relacionados con las dermatosis profesionales.
In occupational medicine, occupational dermatoses account for 30 to 60% of the total amount of occupational diseases and, within 80 to 90% of them correspond to contact dermatitis. This high number is not reflected in official data because in most cases, as conditions of rapid resolution or low systemic impact, they are not declared. Regarding contact dermatitis, the most common type in the workplace is the allergic type, which preferably is declared, because often results in disability. For the correct diagnosis and association with the work environment is essential to make a full history of the patient' occupational background, correct description of the skin lesions, and the use of diagnostic methods other than those of non-cutaneous processes, such as patch testing. They provide a simple, accessible and safe method for the diagnosis of allergic contact dermatitis. They include a standard national baseline series, proper of the country where the patient works, and additional extended series, specific to the occupation performed by the worker. Prevention at work is the only etiological treatment for replacement and control of occupational hazards associated with occupational skin diseases.
