摘要
The public health impact of a disease can be measured using statistical, clinical, and economic measures. Three factors point out the importance of irritant contact dermatitis (ICD) as a disease having a public health impact-1) ICD is common; 2) ICD often has a poor prognosis; and 3) ICD results in a noteworthy economic impact for society and for an individual as it affects vocational and avocational activities. It is also a disease amenable to public health interventions.
