title: Looking at work dermatologically.
abstract: I hope that this brief review has been sufficient to prove the importance that looking at patients' work should have in the investigation of suspected occupational dermatoses. For the dermatologist subspecializing in occupational cases, visits are, I believe, a continuing necessity in the weekly routine. For all other dermatologists, even occasional visits can make an important contribution to the accuracy with which diagnoses and advice on prevention can be provided in suspected cases of occupational dermatoses.
