Occupational allergodermatoses are often difficult to diagnose, as doctors usually classify and treat them only as urticaria, dermatitis or other dermatoses. Making the diagnosis is important for both patients (workers) and their families due to the high socio-economic significance of the problem. It should be noted that dermatological professional pathology is very difficult, even impossible, to be comprehensively covered on a global scale, regardless of the many studies. The published data for different countries and geographical regions are very heterogeneous, due to differences in the degree of development of industrialization and modern technologies, migration of the population, cultural traditions, living habits, even due to the fear of dismissal or the need to change the professional environment.
Key words: occupational dermatitis, occupational dermatoses, professional employment, allergens
