Introduction. Exogenous, in particular, environmental factors are among the most significant factors affecting the course of a number of dermatoses. A study of the effect of chemical use in agriculture on dermatological morbidity was conducted. Objective. To assess the features of dermatological morbidity in rural areas, depending on the load of mineral fertilizers per hect-are of arable land and per capita. Materials and methods. The object of the study was persons aged 18 to 68 years living in two rural areas of the Tashkent region: Chinaz district – cotton sowing; Bostanlyk district – horticultural. Our research was used materials of statistical reporting on the volume of mineral fertilizers used, conducted screening testing, clinical examination and history taking. Results. The incidence of dermatological diseases was 2,5 times higher in the cotton growing area compared with the horticultural region (94,1 versus 38,2, p < 0,001). A comparative analysis of clinical manifestations in persons with dermatological diseases of two rural areas showed a higher degree of activity of the skin pathological process in the cotton growing area especially among people with diffuse and complicated variants of atopic dermatitis. Conclusion. Allergic diseases predominate in the structure of skin pathology in the examined areas of the Tashkent region. In a cotton-growing area, the manifestations of allergic dermatitis are characterized by a more severe course and frequent relapses. The results of the study show that both the dermatological service and the agricultural chemical management system of the Republic need to apply best practices to improve quality and to ameliorate problems. © 2020, Remedium Group Ltd.
