Abstract
RODRIGUEZ HERRERA, María Gabriela. Dermatitis de Contacto Ocupacional. Med. leg. Costa Rica [online]. 2016, vol.33, n.1, pp.164-169. ISSN 2215-5287.
Occupational contact dermatitis is one of the most frequent occupational diseases and yet the difficult diagnosis and determination of being work-related causes underreporting worldwide. This condition can turn into a chronic issue and recurrently incapacitate a worker, which results in economic losses for both the employee and the employer. Incorrect or late diagnosis leads to poor management of the disease and few preventive measures in the workplace which is why it should be identified and treated promptly.
