Professional Skin Diseases (1989) is a professional medical work by prim. dr. Ivan Knajtner, dedicated to one of the most common and widespread groups of occupational diseases in the industrial and working environment. The book was created in response to the need for a comprehensive systematic review of occupational dermatoses during the period of intensive development of the chemical, construction, pharmaceutical and processing industries in our region. The book analyzes in detail the various etiological factors that lead to skin damage at work – from chemical substances (allergens, irritants, solvents), physical influences (radiation, temperature, mechanical damage) to biological agents. The author deals in particular with contact allergic and irritant dermatitis, occupational acne, infections and occupational skin cancers. The special value of this monograph lies in the emphasis on occupational medicine, early diagnostics, assessment of work capacity and preventive measures (protective equipment, occupational hygiene). For many years, Occupational Skin Diseases has served as an indispensable handbook and professional literature for dermatovenerologists, occupational medicine physicians, and occupational safety experts.
