Summary

Background:
This study investigates prevalence of atopy in patients with allergic contact dermatitis (ACD), who were examined at the Ostrava Teaching Hospital in order to assess the impact of professional environment.

Objective:
To find out prevalence of atopy in patients with ACD and to investigate whether atopy is a risk factor for development of ACD.

Methods:
In the cross-sectional study, we studied the frequency distribution of atopy (presence of specific IgE antibodies in response to common inhalation allergens in blood by a Phadiatop test) in patients with ACD (n = 213, mean age 47 years, SD = 13 years ) and subjects of a control group (n = 938, mean age 38 years, SD = 11 years), who were recruited from individuals who had never been exposed to dust and known professional allergens in their occupational environment. All subjects (n = 1 151) were examined by the physician at the clinic.

Results:
There were 34 % patients with atopy in the group of patients with ACD and 32 % individuals with atopy in the control group. No statistically significant differences between patients with ACD and controls were found. Also no statistically significant differences bet- ween women and men were found. Only four patients with ACD had atopic dermatitis.

Conclusion:
Atopy is not a risk factor for ACD.

Key words:
atopy, allergic contact dermatitis, occupational skin diseases
