Metallic gold has long been regarded as a relatively safe material when in contact with the skin and mucosal membranes, with only sporadic reports of allergic contact dermatitis or stomatitis. This is probably due to its stability and low tendency to ionization. Lymphomatoid reactions have been described in cutaneous responses to several products. We report a patient who developed bilateral nodules on the earlobes at the sites of piercing earrings. Histologically, these lesions presented a lymphomatoid appearance, with a T-cell diffuse infiltrate. The patch test demonstrated a strong reaction to 1% gold sodium thiosulfate. 相似文献

The expression of surface-bound immunoglobulin E by dendritic cells within cutaneous tissue has been compared in atopic and contact dermatitis. 45 patients were recruited into 4 groups using clinical criteria and patch testing to a standard series of allergens: atopic (12 cases), allergic contact dermatitis (14 cases), irritant contact dermatitis (10 cases) and the control group (9 cases); using clinical criteria and patch testing to a standard series of allergens. Skin biopsies from each patient were analysed by the indirect immunofluorescence technique. This differentiated 3 patterns of cutaneous IgE distribution: (i) no detectable cutaneous IgE; (ii) detection of IgE solely within the dermis; (iii) detection of IgE within both epidermis and dermis. Detection of IgE within the epidermis was always associated with the presence of IgE within the dermis. In each case, IgE was surface-bound by dendritic cells. Immunoglobulin E was detected within both epidermis and dermis in skin biopsies from 8 (66.7%) atopic patients and 2 (20%) patients with irritant contact dermatitis. No other cases demonstrated IgE deposition within both the epidermis and dermis. Atopic patients were significantly more likely to have detectable IgE deposition, within both epidermis and dermis, than patients with contact dermatitis (allergic and irritant groups combined, p = 0.0011) or controls (p = 0.0049). This finding suggests that the demonstration of IgE within both epidermis and dermis supports a diagnosis of atopic dermatitis. It would therefore be of value in differentiating between atopic and contact dermatitis, where clinical diagnosis is in doubt. 相似文献

Allergic contact dermatitis occurs frequently in children. Patch testing is needed to identify the responsible allergens and should be performed in children. We recommend a panel of 12 contact allergens as a standard series in children from 6–12 years. Four additional contact allergens should be tested in case of a positive history or suggestive clinical picture. For patch testing in children, the allergens should be applied for 24 hours and the readings should be performed at 48 and 72 hours. Standardized patch testing makes it possible to systematically investigate allergic contact dermatitis and identify relevant allergens in children. 相似文献

Background. Tannery workers are at considerable risk of developing occupational contact dermatitis. Occupational skin diseases in tannery workers in newly industrialized countries have been reported, but neither the prevalence of occupational allergic contact dermatitis nor the skin‐sensitizing agents were specifically examined in those studies. Objectives. To assess the prevalence of occupational allergic contact dermatitis in Indonesian tanneries, identify the causative allergens, and propose a tannery work series of patch test allergens. Patients/methods A cross‐sectional study in all workers at two Indonesian tanneries was performed to assess the prevalence of occupational contact dermatitis via a questionnaire‐based interview and skin examination. Workers with occupational contact dermatitis were patch tested to identify the causative allergens. Results. Occupational contact dermatitis was suspected in 77 (16%) of the 472 workers. Thirteen (3%) of these 472 workers were confirmed to have occupational allergic contact dermatitis. Potassium dichromate (9.2%), N,N‐diphenylguanidine (5.3%), benzidine (3.9%) and sodium metabisulfite (2.6%) were found to be the occupationally relevant sensitizers. Conclusions. The sensitization pattern showed some differences from the data in studies reported from other newly industrial countries. We compiled a ‘tannery work series' of allergens for patch testing. A number of these allergens may also be considered for patch testing in patients with (leather) shoe dermatitis. 相似文献

Cosmetics are widely used products in our society today. The cosmetic industry is huge and continues to grow. Contact dermatitis to cosmetics is a major issue. Approximately 6% of all individuals patch tested are suspected of having a cosmetic allergic contact dermatitis. Patch testing is the gold standard for evaluating, diagnosing, and directing the management of patients with cosmetic allergic contact dermatitis. Patch testing beyond the standard tray is necessary to accurately diagnose and treat patients, and can be guided, in part, by patient history. Educating patients about the allergens identified via patch testing is crucial in the successful management of these patients. 相似文献

Background. A standard method for diagnosing allergic contact dermatitis in the United States is the Thin‐layer Rapid Use Epicutaneous (TRUE) test (TRUE Test?), which consists of three panels containing 20 individual allergens and eight allergen mixes. Previous studies had raised concern regarding the adequacy of the initial two‐panel TRUE Test? system (16 individual allergens and seven allergen mixes) in fully assessing patients with possible allergic contact dermatitis. Objectives. We sought to investigate the effectiveness of the current three‐panel TRUE Test? as the sole diagnostic tool for detecting allergic contact dermatitis. Patients/materials/methods. This study was a retrospective analysis of 2088 patients who underwent patch testing between 1995 and 2010. Study groups were analysed to determine whether positive reactions were to allergens and/or mixes present in the TRUE Test? panels. Results. Of the 2088 patch‐tested patients, 1385 had at least one positive reaction. Among these 1385 patients, 27.6% were fully evaluated by use of only the TRUE Test? series, 49.9% were partially evaluated, and 22.5% did not have any of their allergens detected. On assessment for clinical relevance, similar percentages were observed. Conclusion. In our study, the current TRUE Test? series of 28 allergens would have completely identified allergens in only 27.6% of patients. Broadening the standard panel to include common allergens causing >50% of allergic contact dermatitis cases in a given geographical location and aim testing allergens on the basis of the patient's history will increase the test's sensitivity. 相似文献

Compositae dermatitis is an allergic contact dermatitis. The most important allergens in the Compositae family are sesquiterpene lactones (SL), which are present in the oleoresin fraction of leaf, stem, flower and possibly pollen. Compositae dermatitis is most frequently seen in middle-aged and elderly people in patterns reflecting airborne or direct contact with the allergens. The pattern typically starts in summer and disappears in the autumn or winter. Repeated exposure over many years may lead to a chronic and, at times, a disseminated pattern. Seasonal variation does not occur in occupational Compositae dermatitis. In addition to the classically described airborne pattern of face, 'V' of neck, hands and forearms, hand dermatitis is now recognized to be an equally common presentation. This variability of clinical features, and the frequent occurrence of atopic dermatitis and contact allergy to one or more compounds, highlights the need for routine patch testing with sesquiterpene lactone mix 0.1% (Thermal, Hamburg, Germany), combined with aimed patch testing with Compositae plants and extracts. Avoidance of the plants and plant extracts of this large family can be difficult due to its widespread occurrence in flower, herb and vegetable gardens, urban and rural weed population and native vegetation. Importantly, Compositae plant extracts are present in many cosmetics, shampoos, herbal creams and ingested herbal remedies and tonics. 相似文献

Background Cosmetics are the causative agents in 8–15% of patients suspected of having allergic contact dermatitis. Patch testing with standard series identifies 70–80% of the responsible allergens in all contact dermatitis; however, many important cosmetic‐related allergens may be missed by using standard series alone. Objective The aim of this study was to determine the value of using cosmetic series in addition to the European standard series in patients with suspected allergic contact dermatitis. Methods In this prospective study, 93 consecutive patients suspected of having allergic contact dermatitis were patch tested with the European standard series, and simultaneously with cosmetic series. Positive allergic reactions were further interpreted as clinically relevant or irrelevant. The clinically relevant reactions were subsequently stratified into three subgroups: (i) reactions only to allergen/allergens in the European standard series; (ii) reactions only to allergen/allergens in cosmetic series; and (iii) reactions both to allergen/allergens in the European standard and cosmetic series. Results A total of 74 positive reactions were observed in 93 patients. However, only 46 (62.2%) of the total positive reactions were found to be clinically relevant. Of all the clinically relevant positive reactions, 27 (58.7%) were caused by the allergens in the European standard series; 19 (41.3%) were caused by the allergens in cosmetic series. Of the 93 patients tested, 44 (47.3%) had at least one positive allergic reaction, 30 (68.2%) of whom had clinically relevance. Of the 30 patients with clinically relevant positive tests, 16 (53.3%) reacted only to allergens in the European standard series; nine (30%) reacted only to cosmetic series allergens; and five (16.7%) reacted both to the European standard and cosmetic series allergens. Among the 45 cosmetic series allergens tested, 15 (33.3%) gave positive reactions of which 14 (93.3%) of those were found to be clinically relevant. The clinically relevant cosmetic series allergens which were found to be over the critical incidence of 1% included methyldibromo glutaronitrile, Euxyl K400, and isopropyl myristate. Conclusion Patch testing with cosmetic series in addition to the European standard series increased the capability to detect the relevant allergen/allergens, particularly in patients with a suspicion of cosmetic allergy. However, it is not practical and cost‐effective to test those patients routinely with all 45 allergens in the cosmetic series. As the European baseline series which includes methyldibromo glutaronitrile is now widely used as the guideline minimum set of allergens for routine diagnostic patch test investigations, we additionally recommend Euxyl K400 and isopropyl myristate as the candidates for patch testing. 相似文献

We report the case of a 58-year-old man who experienced a 2-year history of arciform rash of the buttocks associated with an intense pruritis. The lesion worsened despite several multipotent topical steroid courses. Punch biopsy with immunohistochemistry of the lesion was suggestive of lymphomatoid contact dermatitis, and extensive screening for cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) remained totally negative. Lymphomatoid contact dermatitis is an inflammatory disease that can clinically simulate malignant lymphoma. Although the course of the disease is considered to be benign, it should be regarded with attention as it has been hypothesized that the condition could be a precursor of CTCL. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Purpuric lesions have been described as an uncommon manifestation of allergic contact dermatitis in individual case reports. OBJECTIVE: We describe a series of patients who developed purpuric allergic contact dermatitis to textile dyes and resins in their personal clothing. Our purpose was to study the patients clinically and histopathologically and to define the most frequent allergens, which cause purpuric allergic contact dermatitis. METHODS: One hundred and three patients were clinically evaluated and tested with the Textile Color & Finish Series (TCFS) (Chemotechnique Diagnostics) and Standard Series (TRUE Tests) because of suspected allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) to clothing. The patients with clinical features of purpura as presenting sign of ACD were studied. Biopsies from the purpuric lesions were performed in three patients. RESULTS: Thirty of the 103 patients (29.1%) had positive reaction to an allergen from the TCFS. Clinically purpuric ACD was observed in 8.7% of all the cases studied (n = 9 of 103). Nine of the 30 patch-positive patients to the TCFS (30%) demonstrated purpuric macules, papules and patches. Patch testing of the nine patients with purpuric contact dermatitis, with the TCFS, resulted in 26 positive patch test results. The major causative allergens were the following: Disperse Blue 106 and Disperse Blue 124 in 26.9% each, Disperse Blue 85 in 11.5%, and ethyleneurea melamine formaldehyde in 7.7%. Positive patch tests were observed to dimethylol dihydroxyethyleneurea, dimethylol propyleneurea, tetramethylol acetylenediurea, urea formaldehyde, melamine formaldehyde, Disperse Red 17, and Basic Red 46 3.8% in each. Purpuric patch test reaction was observed in five cases. The patch test results had present relevance in all the cases. Lesional biopsies demonstrated acanthosis, spongiosis and parakeratosis. The blood vessels were dilated, without signs of vasculitis. The inflammatory infiltrate was composed of lymphocytes and erythrocytes. The extravasated erythrocytes had a perivascular and interstitial distribution in the superficial and deep plexus and were observed at the dermo-epidermal junction as well as in the epidermis. CONCLUSION: Purpuric contact dermatitis is not an uncommon clinical form of ACD to textile dyes and resins. New allergens, which can evoke the development of purpuric allergic contact dermatitis and have not been described in the literature until now include: ethyleneurea melamineformaldehyde, dimethylol dihydroxyethyleneurea, tetramethylol acetylenediurea, urea formaldehyde, melamine formaldehyde and Disperse Red 17. 相似文献

Putative allergens in, clinical manifestations of, and patch tests with traditional Chinese medicinal materials (CMM) causing contact dermatitis (CD) were studied. 14 patients with CMM CD and 351 controls were patch tested with the standard series of allergens of Beijing Medical University and the suspected drug, as is. It was found that most CMM CD was caused by the CMM frequently used topically for analgesic and anti-inflammatory effect. All patients patch tested with the suspected drug gave positive results. Some patients also reacted to fragrance mix. Colophony, rubber mix and ammoniated mercury. The positively rates of fragrance mix and colophony in CMM CD patients were significantly higher than in controls (55.6% versus 16.5% for fragrance mix, X 2 = 11. 86, P < 0.01; and 55.6% versus 5.1% for colophony, X 2 = 29.35. P < 0.01), while not those of rubber mix and ammoniated mercury. Results indicated that the topical analgesic and anti-inflammatory CMM, especially those containing fragrance, may cause contact sensitization. Clinical findings in CMM CD included cutaneous irritation, allergic contact dermatitis. immediate contact reactions and systemic contact dermatitis. CMM CD can he diagnosed by patch testing the putative drug, as is. 相似文献

An accurate diagnosis of allergic contact dermatitis can be achieved by a combination of historical, morphologic, and diagnostic steps. Clues in the history and physical examination can point to an irritant as the source of contact dermatitis. While irritants and allergens share many common features both immunologically and clinically, there are grounds for the distinction. Knowledge of occupational factors is necessary to assess the source of contact dermatitis. A common pitfall is the failure to appreciate the role of endogenous factors in the clinical presentation and overall care of the dermatitis patient. A comprehensive assessment of the patient's environment will lead to appropriate patch tests being applied and a correct diagnosis being reached. 相似文献

Background: Patch testing is essential to diagnose allergic contact dermatitis. Dermatologists in many countries use a baseline (standard) series covering the major allergens responsible for allergic contact dermatitis in their population, with the addition of relevant allergens for the individual patient. However, a baseline series has not yet been developed for Ethiopia. Our objective in this study is to identify common contact allergens to form the basis of a future baseline series in Ethiopia. Methodology: We patch tested 514 subjects with dermatitis according to the recommended procedure using the European baseline series for 1 year. Results: 52.7% of the tested subjects showed positive reaction for at least one allergen tested. The top five contact allergens identified were nickel sulfate, fragrance mix I, cobalt chloride, p‐tert‐butylphenolformaldehyde (PTBP) resin and potassium dichromate. Positive reactions to nickel and PTBP were commoner in females. PTBP positivity was strongly associated with foot eczema. Positive test reactions were commoner in cement workers, notably to potassium dichromate, which was also a commoner allergen in patients presenting with hand dermatitis. There were no reactions to several allergens, including neomycin, benzocaine, budesonide, primin and quaternium‐15. Conclusion: Comparable patch test results with other countries have been shown and the European baseline series can be used as a baseline series in Ethiopia with some modification. 相似文献

Background/objectives
Childhood allergic contact dermatitis is recognized as a significant clinical problem. The objective was to evaluate the rate of positive patch tests in Israeli children with clinically suspected allergic contact dermatitis, identify possible sex and age differences, compare results with those in Israeli adults, and review pediatric studies in the literature.Methods
The study sample included 343 children and adolescents (197 female, 146 male; 1‐18 years of age, mean age 11.8 years) with clinically suspected allergic contact dermatitis who underwent patch testing with a standard pediatric series of 23 allergens at a tertiary medical center from 1999 to 2012. Data on clinical characteristics and test results were collected retrospectively from the medical files.Results
Ninety‐eight subjects (28.6%) (75 girls [38.1%], 23 boys [15.8%]) had at least one positive reaction. The most frequent reactions were to nickel sulfate, followed by potassium dichromate and cobalt chloride. Nickel sulfate sensitivity was more common in girls, especially those younger than 3 years and older than 12 years. The prevalence of contact sensitization was similar in subjects with and without atopic dermatitis (50% and 51%, respectively).Conclusion
Nickel is the most common allergen in Israeli children, especially girls. Patch testing should be performed in children with clinically suspected allergic contact dermatitis regardless of atopic background. 相似文献16.
Allergic contact dermatitis is a disabling condition, significantly impacting on quality of life, which can only be alleviated by identification and avoidance of a relevant allergen. Patch testing remains the gold standard diagnostic test for allergic contact dermatitis. The consistency with which patch testing is used varies throughout the world. The purpose of this study was to look at the adequacy of current patch testing practice in New Zealand. We undertook literature review of current guidance regarding patch testing and created a web‐based survey to evaluate use of patch testing in New Zealand. This was sent to all 75 vocationally registered New Zealand dermatologists. Of respondents, 46% do not perform patch testing. The most commonly cited barriers were lack of nursing support, poor remuneration, time pressure and lack of facilities. 23% noted that public patch testing services are not available in their region. The majority do not record patch test results in a database. Access to and utilisation of patch testing in New Zealand is suboptimal. Increasing services in the public sector requires investment by health boards, as there remains a dermatology workforce shortage in New Zealand. In private practice, patients often find it unsatisfactory to pay for negative tests, and adequate remuneration of patch testing by private insurers is necessary. Surveillance of patch test results at a national level is lacking, and the development of a centralised database to identify common allergens affecting our population is recommended. 相似文献

Background: Reports on hypersensitivity reactions to azithromycin associated with therapy or occupational exposure have been rare. Objectives: A case series describing clinical characteristics, diagnostic pathways and risk factors in occupational allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) caused by azithromycin in pharmaceutical workers is presented. Patients/Methods: 7 out of 21 pharmaceutical workers exposed to powdered intermediate and final substances in azithromycin synthesis were referred with workplace-related skin and respiratory symptoms. They all underwent diagnostic procedure involving medical history and examination, patch testing with standard allergens and azithromycin, prick testing with inhalatory allergens and total immunoglobulin E measurement. Results: Airborne ACD caused by azithromycin was established in 4 examined workers with positive patch test to azithromycin. 2 workers additionally had positive patch test to intermediate substances. Occupation-related symptoms of urticaria, rhinoconjunctivitis, laryngitis and/or dyspnoea were described in additional 2 workers without clearly positive patch test to azithromycin. 2 atopic workers had a shorter asymptomatic period between the beginning of the exposure to azithromycin and occurrence of skin symptoms than non-atopics (2-3 months versus 1-3 years, respectively). Conclusions: Our results suggest that daily manipulation with powdered azithromycin and intermediates is a main route of sensitization. Besides contact sensitization, other possible workplace-related azithromycin hypersensitivity reactions are indicated. 相似文献

White petrolatum is known for its nonsensitizing and nonirritating properties. Only a few cases of allergic contact dermatitis to white petrolatum have been reported. Although it is a rare event, the finding of contact sensitization to white petrolatum raises the potential problem of its usage of common topical agents or vehicles for patch testing. We herein report a case of allergic contact dermatitis to white petrolatum. 相似文献

Compositae dermatitis in an allergic contact dermatitis, frequently chronic, triggered by plants of the Compositae family. The condition, which is seen, in particular, in middle-aged and elderly persons, typically starts in the summer months with an acute eczema either corresponding to areas exposed to light and air, or corresponding to areas of plant contact; it disappears spontaneously during the fall of the year. Repeated exposure over a number of years may cause severe intractable dermatitis affecting the patient throughout the year. The responsible allergens are sesquiterpene lactones, and investigations to date indicate that the frequency of the allergy is similar to that seen with some of the contact allergens of the standard patch test series. The diagnosis, however, is difficult, partly due to the fact that the clinical picture may be mistaken for a photodermatosis, and partly owing to the difficulty in obtaining commercially available allergens for patch testing. The diagnosis is therefore based on testing with plant extracts, which can cause pronounced local reactions and possibly active sensitization. A survey is given of the possible modes of sensitization, sex and age distribution, the relationship to photosensitivity and atopy, as well as the possible treatment. It is concluded, on the basis of the chronic nature of the disease, and the diagnostic and treatment problems, that continued intensive research into the condition is urgently needed. 相似文献
