A personal series of patients with eczema on the hands arising in non-occupational conditions was examined (students, housewives, clerical workers, teachers, farm labourers). The data obtained indicate the presence of allergic sensitisation in 70% of the cases and especially among females (3 : 1). The most frequently encountered allergens were difenylguanadine (used in rubber manufacture) and nickel. It is therefore suggested that patch tests should be performed immediately on these patients so that contact with allergen can be prevented in addition to the usual topical treatment.
