title: [Frequent occurrence of dyshidrosis-type eczemas of the hand caused by oil-in-water emulsion in metalworkers].
abstract: In a metal working enterprise, about 1/3 of the workers who had come into contact with a certain cutting solution, fell ill with an eczema of the hand in short time, the clinical aspect of which reminded a dyshidrosiform eczema of the hand. An epicutaneous test made with the emulsion oil-in-water had a negative result. After the cutting solution had been replaced by another product, the hand lesions disappeared rapidly. In the literature, we could not find any informations concerning dyshidrosiform eczemas of the hand, while manipulating emulsions oil-in-water. However, a tendency to sudation of the hands is known.
