The aim of our study was to report the frequency of sensitization to
hairdressing allergens in a group of patients with contact dermatitis,
in whom previous treatments with hair dyes or permanent wave solutions
were suspected to be the cause, 49 of 261 hairdressers clients
(18.7%), who were patch tested with the hairdressers' screening series
in the years 1985 1990, showed one (27) or more (22) positive
reactions to hairdressing chemicals. Thus study confirm hair dyeing to
by the procedure associated with the highest risk of sensitization
among hairdressers clients. Among hair dye allergens. PPD is the most
Frequent sensitizer (7.3%). A low rate of sensitization to the PPD
derivatives PAP, ONPD and PTD was detected in these clients, there
being no differences in the frequency of sensitization to the 3
substances (4.2%, 4.6% and 4.6%. respectively) Only 0.4%, of clients
were positive to resorcinol, while pyrogullat showed a 2.3% rate of
sensitization. Sensitization to GMTG was Found in 3.3% of patients ATG
was an in Frequent sensitizer (1.1%), Allergic contact dermatitis due
to APS is quite rare (2.7%), in view of the widespread use of this
compound. A positive open patch test in I hairdressers' client, who
complained of genralized urticaria alter hair bleaching, confirmed the
diagnosis of immediate contact reaction due to APS. Sensitization to
hairdressing allergens among consumers (18.7%), is possibly more
frequent than sensitization to other cosmetic ingredients. We
previously detected a 14.3%, rate of sensitization to cosmetic
ingredients in with suspected allergic contact dermatitis caused by
cosmetic. On the other hand, reactions to cosmetic ingredients were
also common in our patients. This may indicate that hairdressers'
clients make greater use of cosmetics than average. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
