A dermatite de contato alérgica (DCA) causada pelos (meta)acrilatos pode ser ocupacional, principalmente em profissionais de manicura, através do crescente manuseio de unhas acrílicas. O uso de luvas e dedeiras construídas por Polietileno/ Etilvinil-álcool, máscara, óculos de segurança e fardamento adequado são os equipamentos de proteção individual recomendados nesta categoria profissional.  Material e métodos Efetuamos um estudo retrospetivo dos processos de doentes com DCA aos (meta)acrilatos, diagnosticados no Serviço de Dermatovenereologia do Hospital de Braga (Portugal), entre janeiro de 2012 e março de 2018. Todos os doentes efetuaram testes epicutâneos incluindo a série padrão do Grupo Português de Estudo das Dermatites de Contacto e uma série alargada de (meta)acrilatos.  Resultados Foram diagnosticados 39 doentes com DCA aos (meta)acrilatos, todos do género feminino, com idades entre os 21 e os 66 anos. Apresentaram história pregressa de eczema atópico (23%) e rinite alérgica (26%). A localização mais frequente de eczema foi as mãos (87%). Verificou-se atingimento do dorso e das palmas em igual percentagem dos casos (38%) e distrofia ungueal em 8% dos doentes. Em 33% dos doentes verificou-se eczema da face, na maior parte das vezes com envolvimento das pálpebras. Confirmou-se uma relação de exposição ocupacional aos (meta)acrilatos em 69% das doentes, sendo que na sua maioria eram profissionais de manicura/ técnicos de unhas artificiais. O alergénio detetado mais frequentemente foi o 2-hidroxietilmetacrilato (HEMA; positivo em 97% dos casos), seguido do dimetacrilato de etilenoglicol (EGDMA; positivo em 69% dos casos).  Conclusão Na população estudada, é de sublinhar a relação de DCA aos (meta)acrilatos com o manuseio de unhas acrílicas. Assim, no que concerne à segurança e saúde dos trabalhadores, certamente esta área merece melhores medidas no âmbito da prevenção, bem como um aumento da regulamentação específica que envolva a segurança dos consumidores. De realçar também que, tal como observado em estudos anteriores, o HEMA foi detetado em mais de 90% dos casos, podendo ser considerado um ótimo alergénio de rastreio.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="en"><p><![CDATA[ABSTRACT  Introduction Acrylates are salts or esters of the acrylic acid, widely used as part of cosmetic or dental products, surgical equipment, medical devices, household items, building materials and printing inks. Allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) caused by (metha)acrylates could be described in occupational settings, mainly in beauticians using acrylic manicure and, specifically, the photo-bonded long-lasting nail polish. The use of gloves, fingertips made of Polyethylene/ Ethylvinyl-alcohol, mask, safety glasses and an appropriate uniform are recommended in these cases.  Materials and methods We present a retrospective study of ACD to acrylates diagnosed at an Hospital in Braga (Portugal), between January 2012 and March 2018. In all cases the epicutaneous patch tests used included the Portuguese Contact Dermatitis Research Group baseline series and an extended series of (meth)acrylates.  Results A total of 39 female patients had a sensitization to (metha)acrylates, aged between 21-66 years, with personal history of atopic eczema and allergic rhinitis in 23 and 26% of cases, respectively. The most frequent presentation was hand eczema (87%). Dorsal and palms were affected in an equal percentage of cases (38%) and nail dystrophy in 8% of patients. Ectopic lesions on the face were detected in 33% of cases, mostly with the involvement of the eyelids. Occupational related exposure due to (metha)acrylates was found in 69% of cases, mostly of them beauticians/ artificial nail technicians. The most common sensitizers among the 39 allergic individuals were 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA; positive in 97% of cases) and ethyleneglycol dimethacrylate (positive in 69% of cases).  Conclusion In our population, we highlight the high number of cases of ACD from (meth)acrylates in relation to artificial nails. Concerning to the health and safety of workers, it certainly deserves better preventive measures at the occupational level and specific regulation from the authorities concerned with the safety of consumers. HEMA was the most frequent positive allergen (above 90% of tests) and, in agreement with previous studies, can be considered a good screening allergen.]]></p></abstract>
