[Occupational aspects of palmoplantar pustulosis : Discussion based on the evaluation of retrospective data].

CONCLUSIONS: PPP is an endogenous disease which is influenced by nonoccupational factors (e.g., tobacco smoking). Therefore, a thorough investigation is mandatory when assessing whether occupational factors are legally essential and exceed aggravation by everyday life. For this purpose, a well-documented course of the disease and a critical appraisal of occupational and nonoccupational factors are crucial. Only if occupational causality is probable can preventive measures be provided by the statutory accident insurance and PPP can be legally recognized as an occupational disease.
