Zoonoses with Dermatological Symptoms as Occupational Dermatoses

Overview

The author deals with zoonoses with a dermatological symptomatology from the aspect of a possible occupational character of the disease. Zoonoses with a dermatological symptomatology as occupational dermatoses esere most urgent in the fifties and sixties. At present we no longer encounter dermatological forms of TB caused by Mycobacterium bovis, occupational dermatological forms of anthrax, brucellosis, malleus. There are sporadic infectious ulcers of milkmaids and erysipeloid. Occasionally we diagnose occupational trichophytosisia caused by Trichophyton verrucosum (causal agent of trichophytosis of tahle) or Trichophyton mentagrophytes (transmitted by rodents). Comprehensive solution of occupational zoonoses with a dermal symptomatology is a question of interdisciplinary collaboration - dermatovenereologist, infectionist, epidemiologist, occupational hygienist, veterinary surgeon and finally a specialist in occupational medicine to evaluate the occupational character of the disease
