| Research Abstract |
In Japan, there is no governmental statistical data of occupational skin disease as compensated cases with sick leave longer than 4days. Case collecting methods using mail to physicians was not effective. Situation of work-related allergy in Japan has not been evaluated epidemiologically. Case reports of occupational skin diseases published in academic journals are most reliable in current situation of Japan. In Germany, dermatologists and industrial physicians play a major role to report work related skin diseases to government. And comprehensive preventive measures for allergic contact dermatitis as well as irritant contact dermatitis are implemented on the basis of medical evidence found from those data.
Causative substance of allergic contact dermatitis from myoga was suggested to be a fatty acid but not determined clearly. β-phellanderene was evaluated to be the most strong sensitizer among evaporated components of myoga.CU due to myoga could be non-immunological.
