Details on study design:
This study was performed from January 1985 to June 1990 and involved 302 hairdressers with contact dermatitis,43 males and 259 females, aged from 14 to 66 years (mean age 24.6 years. Patch tests were performed with the GIRDCA standard series and with the hairdresser’s series. Patients were also tested with other substances specific to their work and with their own products. Patch tests were performed according to ICDRG recommendations, using Finn Chambers on Scanpor tape and Hermal-Trolab allergens. The reactions were read at 2 and 3 days

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
sensitising
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
A multicenter study was performed in 9 Italian centers by members of the GIRDCA' to evaluate the frequency and source of contact sensitization in a group of 302 hairdressers with dermatitis. Occupational habits and use of preventive measures were specifically investigated both in these 302 hairdressers. The results showed the presence of an occupationally relevant sensitization in 60.9% of the 302 hairdressersPositive reactions to 2 NPPD occurred in 24 patients (7.9%)2NPPD appears to be a weak sensitizer compared to other hair dyes tested
Executive summary:

The results showed the presence of an occupationally relevant sensitization in 60.9% of the 302 hairdressers

 

Positive reactions to 2 NPPD occurred in 24 reactions (7.9%)

 

2NPPD appears to be a weak sensitizer compared to other hair dyes tested
