title: [Analysis of occupational allergies reported to the Occupational Medicine and Hygiene Service of the Pavia ASL and to the Hospital Operative Unit of Occupational Medicine in 1993-98].
abstract: In this article the cases of occupational allergic diseases notified to 2 Occupational Health Units in Pavia in the period 1993-1998 are reported. A retrospective study was performed to obtain a descriptive analysis of the diseases. In the studied period 58 cases of occupational allergic diseases were notified. This datum probably underestimates the real occurrence of occupational diseases, because of the low accuracy of the notification system. Allergic skin diseases were more frequent (70.7%) than respiratory diseases.
