Workers who do wet work (cannery workers, bartenders, and food handlers) or who wear occlusive gloves for prolonged periods (dental, healthcare, and semiconductor clean room workers) are at increased risk for this skin infection. Patients with AIDS, neutropenia, and diabetes have a higher risk of infection because of impaired immunity. [CCDM, p.84-6; Marks, p. 281; LaDou, p. 289] |
