title: Orosomucoid types in allergic contact dermatitis.
abstract: Orosomucoid (ORM) is an immunosuppressive acute-phase reactant controlled by two different loci: ORM1 and ORM2. In previous studies, the ORM1 1 type has been found to be associated with psoriasis and sarcoidosis, presumably by influencing the progression and clinical course of these disorders. In this report, a significant association between the ORM1 1 type and allergic contact dermatitis in male patients (relative risk = 1.9, 95% confidence interval = 1.0-3.6) is presented.
