We estimated the prevalence and structure of skin diseases among workers employed in metallurgical enterprises of the Sverdlovsk region for the production of titanium and copper. The prevalence and nature of skin diseases in 528 workers employed at two enterprises of the Sverdlovsk region in the electrolytic production of copper and titanium were studied by means of periodic medical examinations. Skin diseases of various etiologies and pathogenesis were detected in 27.3 % of workers. Mycoses of feet and onychomycosis had the highest prevalence (19.3 % of the examined), and the prevalence among copper production workers was higher than among those employed in titanium production enterprises. Titanium production workers have higher morbidity of allergic dermatosis (1.7 % of those surveyed). Vascular skin lesions in the form of vascular spots, the etiology, pathogenesis and clinical significance of which remain unknown are detected in production workers previously involved in aluminum production at other enterprises. The presented data emphasize the importance of the development and implementation of preventive measures, early detection and treatment of skin diseases, improvement of the clinical examination system for workers in non-ferrous metallurgy enterprises.
