“…At each study visit, the subjects were reminded to follow standard preventative measures to avoid worsening of HD, which includes using a soap-free cleanser; applying a skin moisturizer and avoiding common irritants, harsh cleansers and very hot water. 19 , 20 Anti-itch products and over-the-counter hydrocortisone creams were permitted, but the use of systemic treatments for their dermatitis was not permitted.…”

BackgroundHand dermatitis or hand eczema (HD) is one of the most common dermatologic conditions. Lesions, scaling, pruritus and pain are chronic and relapsing. Improved HD has been reported with the probiotic composed of Lactobacillus acidophilus CL1285, Lactobacillus casei LBC80R and Lactobacillus rhamnosus CLR2 (Bio-K+).PurposeInvestigation of the therapeutic potential of this probiotic as the sole systemic treatment for adults with nonacute HD.Subjects and methodsA single-center study documented clinical ratings and patient-reported outcomes in adults with chronic HD. The probiotic was taken orally for 12 weeks, adjunctive to standard topical treatments and preventative measures.ResultsMost of the 30 subjects with mild to severe HD were compliant with the probiotic. Around 22 of the 30 subjects were able to complete the study, and of these subjects, an improvement was noted in 19. One required systemic therapy, and one subject was not able to tolerate the probiotic and therefore discontinued the study. 23% of the subjects achieved clear or almost clear hands by the end of 12 weeks. Pruritus, which was a common complaint at baseline, was improved with 59% of symptomatic patients within 2 weeks.ConclusionIt is feasible and safe to administer Bio-K+ for HD. Clinicians saw an improvement in most subjects’ hands, and cases of significant improvement in dermatitis were documented. Pruritus was the most rapidly relieved symptom, as reported by patients.

“…Therefore, it is important to ensure that the normal working procedures are active on the day of the visit and that the particular process in question is being carried out on the day of the visit, in order to determine accurately what workers are actually doing in practice rather than in theory. It is important to record as accurately as possible the details of the visit: personnel present, sections visited, processes observed and sources of possible exposure to irritants and allergens …”

“…Налице са данни за нарушения в минералния обмен и функцията на паратиреоидните жлези при терапия с литиеви препарати [21,22]. Съобщения за алергични реакции от контактен тип, включително и в условията на професионална експозиция могат да се открият [6,[23][24][25][26], но не и към масово използваните през последните години батерии от Li-ion тип. При определяне етиологията на контактния дерматит от голямо значение са резултатите от епикутанното кожно-алергично тестуване.…”

В етиологията на контактния алергичен дерматит ролята на металите като сенсибилизиращи агенти е добре известна. Някои от тях, като никел, хром, кобалт и техните соли са с доказани свойства на контактни алергени. За други метали обаче, какъвто е литият, както и за съдържащи литий продукти, съобщения за алергични кожни реакции от контактен тип почти липсват. А описани случаи на предизвикан от професионална експозиция на литий-съдържащи изделия контактен дерматит не открихме. Ето защо считаме, че представеният от нас клиничен случай допълва и обогатява представата за етиологията на заболяването.
