title: [Dermatopathies in fishmongers in the city of Bari].
abstract: The marketing of fish products determines for the fishmongers contact with water, ice and use of sharp tools. This study evaluates the skin reactions after fish handling manipulation in a group of fishmongers. 60 questionnaires were administered for information on seniority, use of IPDs, training received, work injuries and general health. We have performed a physical examination of the fishmongers' hands. 98.3% of workers reported the use of IPDs. During the examination were found dyschromic lesions, freezing and foreign bodies, mainly in those who did not use gloves. The study shows the hands' skin condition in those fishmongers that did not use IPDs. This phenomenom requires formative and informative targeted interventions and stronger oversights.
