title: [Occupational systemic lupus due to cosmetics (author's transl)].
abstract: A hairdresser with lupus erythematosus noted that acute attacks of his illness always coincided with periods of intense occupational activity. The lupus presented all the biological characteristics of an induced affection, but the patient was not taking medication. The disorder disappeared completely after a period of 4 years, following a change of occupation. The role of aromatic coloring agents is discussed.
