It should be noted that occupational dermatoses are a serious problem, and the number of occupational dermatoses may be underreported worldwide. The rate of occupational dermatoses has been reported to account for 20-30% of all occupational diseases [1,2]. Diepgen found that 50-190 out of 100,000 workers develop occupational contact dermatitis [3], and another study reports that 23,596 of 71,263 occupational diseases were classified as occupational skin diseases [4]. In Greece, 39.9% of employees (4000 workers, 20 types of enterprise, 104 companies) were found to suffer from occupational dermatitis, and there was no statistically significant correlation between gender and prevalence of occupational dermatoses [5]. It is interesting, however, that reports of occupational dermatoses are rare in Brazil because of workers’ fear of losing their jobs and salaries [6].","PeriodicalId":94312,"journal":{"name":"Dermatologic clinics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1988-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74199259","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Lyme borreliosis is a widespread disease, present in all continents. It can be divided into an early disease, corresponding to the primary stage, and a late disease, including the secondary and tertiary stages. The typical cutaneous lesions are erythema (chronicum) migrans, lymphadenosis benigna cutis, and acrodermatitis chronica atrophicans.
