Abstract
Twenty- five workers affected with industrial dermatitis due to diesel oil and 25 workers who were exposed to diesel oil for over 3 years but who never developed dermatitis were studied with reference to their blood groups. It is observed that blood group A is evenly distributed among affected and non-affected persons. Two out of every 3 persons with blood group B have developed dermatitis, whereas only one out of 3 person with blood group 1) developed dermatitis. It is concluded that blood grouping provides a rough screening test for the prospective employees to be engaged in work connected with diesel oil during pre-placement medical examination.Dimethicone-20 containing ointment (Siloderm) was used on 25 workers affected with oil acne and found to give excellent result in 76% of the cases and good result in 16% of the cases. It is concluded that this ointment is reliable and safe in the prophylaxis and management of industrial dermatitis due to diesel oil.
