Occupational Connective Tissue Disorders

  • Chapter
Handbook of Occupational Dermatology

Abstract

Connective tissue disorders involving occupational factors are, first of all, systemic sclerosis (SSc), probably also lupus erythematosus (LE) and very rarely dermatomyositis, mixed connective tissue disease (MCTD), rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and Sjögren’s syndrome (Zschunke et al. 1990; Koeger et al. 1991).
