- Abstract
Since January 1987, 63 food handlers affected by chronic hand eczema were studied. A large variety of foods including fruits, vegetables, fish and meat elicited the positive vesicular reaction in different patients. The histological and immunohistochemical study of apparently normal hand skin showed focal parakeratosis and an increased number of Langerhans cells. Biopsies of the immediate vesicular reactions induced by foods showed spongiotic vesicles within the epidermis and a moderate to dense mononuclear dermal perivascular infiltrate.
