Article Synopsis
- 2-Hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) was included in the European baseline series in 2019, but there's limited data on how often people are exposed to it, especially in Israel.
- A study of 1,671 patients from 2020 to 2023 found that 8.1% reacted positively to HEMA, with much higher sensitivity in young women (16.7% among those under 30) compared to men (1.0%).
- Most positive reactions were linked to nail cosmetics, and 84% of cases were deemed clinically relevant, suggesting significant occupational exposure, particularly among nail stylists.
Background: Tefillin are a religious article worn by Jewish men during daily prayer. Tefillin dermatitis secondary to potassium dichromate sensitivity is recognised, but data remain sparse.
Objective: To investigate the prevalence and clinical characteristics of tefillin dermatitis.
Background: The clinical diagnosis of papular eruptions is common but poorly characterized in the literature and the etiology is often unknown.
Objective: To characterize the entity of idiopathic papular dermatitis in the spectrum of chronic papular eruptions.
Methods: The cohort consisted of patients who presented at a tertiary medical center in 2005-2014 with a papular eruption of at least 4 months' duration.
Background/objectives: Childhood allergic contact dermatitis is recognized as a significant clinical problem. The objective was to evaluate the rate of positive patch tests in Israeli children with clinically suspected allergic contact dermatitis, identify possible sex and age differences, compare results with those in Israeli adults, and review pediatric studies in the literature.
Methods: The study sample included 343 children and adolescents (197 female, 146 male; 1-18 years of age, mean age 11.
Background: Allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) is associated with increased production of cytokines. The patch test is the "gold-standard" diagnostic method, but it poses a risk of false results.
Objective: To evaluate a novel laboratory technique, the Luminex LiquiChip, which simultaneously measures blood levels of multiple cytokines, as a diagnostic tool in patients with chrome-induced ACD.
