Allergic contact dermatitis from nickel is a continuing health problem and its prevalence is increasing. It may occur in sensitized individuals following contact with nickel-containing items such as jewelry, zippers, buttons, and other objects; by nickel leaching from implants and prostheses; and following occupational exposures. Nickel and the Skin gives an extensive, updated review of new aspects, as well as previously discussed topics, covering material progress in the field of nickel hypersensitivity. It complements the mandate of the Nickel Producers Environmental Research Association, which is to promote the health and safety of those exposed to nickel or nickel containing products in the workplace and general environment.
Aspects of Nickel Allergy: Epidemiology, Etiology, Immune Reactions, Prevention, and Therapy
Nickel Allergic Hypersensitivity: Prevalence and Incidence by Country, Gender, Age, and Occupation
Oxidative Properties of the Skin: A Determinant for Nickel Diffusion
Release of Nickel Ion from the Metal and Its Alloys as Cause of Nickel Allergy
Skin Absorption of Nickel and Methods to Quantify Penetration
Diagnostic Testing for Nickel Allergic Hypersensitivity: Patch Testing versus Lymphocyte Transformation Test
Orally Induced Tolerance to Nickel: The Role of Oral Exposure (Orthodontic Devices) in Preventing Sensitization
Biochemical Aspects of Nickel Hypersensitivity: Factors Determining Allergenic Action
Nickel Metal and Alloys
