Abstract

Background: Hand eczema (HE) is a common skin disease with a negative impact on patients' quality of life in occupational and non-occupational settings. Up-to-date, data on HE in Italian patients referred for patch testing are lacking.

Objectives: To characterise the profile in terms of demographics, aetiology and patch test results of Italian patients affected by HE referred for patch testing.

Methods: A retrospective descriptive study on consecutive patients affected by HE who underwent patch testing from 2016 to 2023 in eight dermatology clinics was performed. HE patients were divided into two groups according to the exclusive (HE-only group) and not-exclusive (HE+ group) hand involvement, and compared to patients with eczema localised in body areas other than hands (NHE group).

Results: One thousand five hundred and ninety-seven patients were affected by HE (35.3% males; mean age 42.7 years), 60.2% belonging to the HE-only group and 39.8% to the HE+ group. Occupational dermatitis was diagnosed in 33.2% of HE-only patients, 25.0% of HE+ patients and 5.2% of NHE patients (p < 0.001). HE-only patients presented: Allergic Contact Dermatitis (ACD), Irritant Contact Dermatitis (ICD), atopic HE in 48.1%, 47.5% and 7.1%, respectively; hyperkeratotic palmar, acute recurrent vesicular and nummular clinical subtypes in 52.2%, 43.9% and 11.9%, respectively; relevant positive patch test reactions in 48.1% (nickel sulphate 18.9%, methylchloroisothiazolinone/methylisothiazolinone 10.6%, methylisothiazolinone 8.6%, p-phenylenediamine 6.0% and potassium dichromate 4.7%).

Conclusions: HE patients, and particularly those with exclusive hand involvement, show a particular profile in terms of demographic and clinical characteristics, etiologies and relevant positive patch test reactions.

转诊接受斑贴试验的意大利患者的手部湿疹：一项回顾性 SIDAPA 研究（2016-2023 年）。

背景：手部湿疹（HE）是一种常见的皮肤病，对患者在职业和非职业环境中的生活质量有负面影响。目前尚缺乏意大利患者接受斑贴试验后出现手部湿疹的最新数据：目的：从人口统计学、病因学和斑贴试验结果等方面描述转诊接受斑贴试验的意大利 HE 患者的特征：方法：对 2016 年至 2023 年期间在八家皮肤科诊所接受斑贴测试的连续 HE 患者进行回顾性描述研究。根据手部完全受累（HE-only 组）和非完全受累（HE+ 组）将手部湿疹患者分为两组，并与手部以外身体其他部位湿疹患者（NHE 组）进行比较：共有 1597 名手部湿疹患者（35.3% 为男性，平均年龄 42.7 岁），其中 60.2% 属于纯手部湿疹组，39.8% 属于手部湿疹+ 组。33.2%的纯 HE 患者、25.0% 的 HE+ 患者和 5.2%的 NHE 患者被诊断出患有职业性皮炎（P 结论）：职业性皮炎患者，尤其是手部完全受累的职业性皮炎患者，在人口统计学和临床特征、病因和相关的阳性斑贴试验反应方面表现出特殊的特征。
