VEGA SARRAULTE, Gabriela e CANO CANESSA, Diana. El problema médico legal de las dermatosis ocupacionales. Med. leg. Costa Rica [online]. 2016, vol.33, n.2, pp.51-65. ISSN 2215-5287.
The professional dermatosis is a dermatological alteration that is originated or worsened by conditions of work. The comparative studies among different countries are limited by the differences in the notification system of occupational diseases, in such a manner that is often underestimated even though they have a socioeconomic impact. In the case of the occupational dermatosis, in many countries they constitute an important percentage of the economic indemnifications, and also a frequent reason of disability related to the job itself. Being able to establish a relation of causality between the dermatosis and a profession or specific labor activity without having objective parameters is most of the time difficult, so that this article seeks to give a wide panorama of how to approach the medical legal problem of the occupational dermatosis in the daily expertise of a forensic doctor.
