title: [Allergic contact dermatitis in women].
abstract: In everyday life, including the professional obligations, women are exposed to a great number of allergens leading to contact sensitization. In order to evaluate the aetiology, frequency and other features of allergic contact dermatitis in women, the results of epicutaneous testing in housewives (I group) and employed women (II group), were analysed. Clear distinctions were observed in relation to the place of residence, the age, the localization of some changes on the skin, the kind of allergens, the frequency of the allergens, etc. Among the women from the second group a significantly high number of allergens to which they were occupationally exposed was recorded.
