title: [The persistence of chromate allergy in cement eczema].
abstract: 93 patients with contact allergy to chromates were followed up for 15 years during which time they were examined clinically and patch tested quantitatively at regular intervals. Results demonstrate that contact allergy to chromates and cement eczema differ from other occupational dermatoses mainly because of their persistence after a change of exposure and occupation. Explanations for this observation are offered.
