As the principal interest group for contact dermatitis in the United States, the ACDS is the logical organization to spearhead improvement of contact dermatitis education in residency programs.

Our allergic patient was patch-tested to various chemicals found in permanent-wave solutions, including CHC (1.0% in petrolatum). Patch-test reactions were positive to CHC, glyceryl thioglycolate, diglyceryl thioglycolate, p-phenylenediamine (PPD), and PPD through a piece of latex glove. Sixty-four controls to CHC (1.0% in petrolatum) had negative results. Household-weight latex gloves were protective against CHC allergy. Persons with CHC-waved hair were not allergic. CHC contained in "neutral" permanent-wave preparations has been used in American beauty salons since 1993. We briefly discuss the introduction and significance of CHC in permanent waves.

Our objective was to review the importance of including diallyl disulfide in the evaluation of patients with suspected photosensitivity. Phototests for ultraviolet B, ultraviolet A, and visible light as well as patch tests and photopatch tests for 49 allergens from the New York University Skin and Cancer Unit Photopatch Test Series were performed. Three patients had positive photopatch-test results to diallyl disulfide, which is the allergen in garlic.

The four naturally occurring PACs that were investigated--cypripedin, denbinobin, annoquinone-A, and latinone--do not fulfill these criteria and are thus only weak sensitizers. However, as-yet-unstudied phenanthrenequinones occurring in plants or trees and having no substituents at C-2 or C-3 of the quinonoid ring must be considered potentially strong allergens.

In addition, the materials and technologies used in the manufacturing of shoes are continuously evolving. Since the 1950s, rubber allergens have been the most common cause of shoe dermatitis. However, the causal allergens in rubber have changed. Instead of 2-mercaptobenzothiazole, dithiodimorpholine, an allergen that is not contained on standard patch-testing trays, now may be one of the more common rubber sensitizers in shoes. Other allergens not found on standard series that can account for shoe dermatitis include isophorone diisocyanate, dimethylaminoethyl ether, and mixed dialkyl thioureas. Therefore, physicians evaluating patients with alle...

In a companion paper, I describe changes in the incidence of recorded occupational skin disease from 1972 to 1999. Despite substantial improvements in workplace hygiene, the incidence of occupational skin disease remains half of that recorded in 1972. In the companion paper, it is argued that a more sophisticated approach to prevention and management may be required to substantially reduce the burden of occupational skin disease further. In this paper, I address the present state of risk assessment (including components of hazard identification, measuring or estimating dermal exposure, percutaneous absorption, dose-response relationships, and risk characterization) and the poor progno...

A patient was patch-tested and photopatch-tested to various sunscreen chemicals. Both immediate- and delayed-type hypersensitivity reactions were observed with oxybenzone. The positive patch tests were also photoaccentuated. Oxybenzone, a common sunscreen allergen, can result in both contact urticaria and delayed-type hypersensitivity on both conventional patch testing and photopatch testing.

These reactions may be misinterpreted as allergic, and three cases demonstrating this phenomenon were reviewed. All patients with reactions to topical products due to dermographism improved with counseling and antihistamine therapy. Repeat open application testing confirmed the safety of previously suspect medications in two of the three cases, preventing unnecessary changes in the medication regimens and inaccurate diagnoses of medication allergy. We observe that intolerance to topical medications due to dermographism can usually be managed without extensive testing or treatment.

Despite reports of allergic contact dermatitis to implantable devices, extensive routine patch testing in our patient failed to identify a responsible allergen. The clinical presentation and pathologic evidence were consistent with reticular telangiectatic erythema that has been reported overlying pacemakers and, in the English literature recently, overlying ICDs in two patients. Reticular telangiectatic erythema is a benign reactive condition that is possibly due to a combination of aberrant local circulatory and physical forces such as heat, electric fields, or magnetic fields.

Diagnostic patch testing was performed with solutions of Busan 1130 and its active ingredient, 2-bromo-4'-hydroxyacetophenone (BHAP). Twenty-five controls were also tested. The patient showed a ++ reaction to 0.1% Busan 1130 aqueous solution and 0.01% BHAP in ethanol. All controls were negative. The patient had recurrent allergic contact dermatitis from exposure to BHAP contained in the slimicide Busan 1130.

Contact with the hairs or spines on the stems and leaves of the stinging nettle causes the release of several biologically active substances. The released chemicals act to cause itching, dermatitis, and urticaria within moments of contact. Extracts from the stinging nettle may provide therapeutic value for some inflammatory medical conditions. There is no standard treatment for stinging nettle dermatitis.

The increased percentages of patients seen with ACD to formaldehyde, formaldehyde-releasing agents, and potassium dichromate in Kansas City were likely caused by the referral of greater numbers of work-related cases. However, occupationally acquired ACD to MCI/MI and glutaraldehyde were not more frequent in Kansas City than nationally, suggesting that other factors might be operative. Although awareness of national trends is important, dermatologists must be cognizant of regional variations in allergen sources within their communities and referral networks.

Patients with positive patch test reactions to epoxy acrylates used in dentistry usually do not have symptoms from their dental work. To our knowledge, this is the largest series of patients with sensitivity to the standard Bis-A epoxy resin that have been patch tested with the more recently introduced Bis-F epoxy resins. There is significant cross-reactivity between Bis-A and Bis-F epoxy resins, which can be explained by their structural similarity.

Natural extracts are commonly used ingredients in many cosmetic preparations and homeopathic remedies. Although the term natural botanical extracts inherently purports to have beneficial and benign properties, these extracts can cause adverse reactions in individuals. As such, dermatologists should be cognizant of these agents as possible sources of allergenicity in patients presenting with contact dermatitis.

Parabens, fragrance mix, and thimerosal had more positive patch test reactions using standard application techniques relative to the retest procedure, which placed the substances at a greater distance from one another, suggesting that, in addition to the factors previously reported to influence the reduction of ESS, the position of the allergens in the testing procedure also should be considered.

Initially used as a water-based paint and wood preservative and then in metalworking fluids, its role has expanded into the more recent uses in cosmetic products. The need for a potent, broad-spectrum, and safe preservative system in cosmetics allowed for the discovery of several combinations of IPBC effective against a wide variety of organisms. Although IPBC has claimed to be safe when used at concentrations less than 0.1%, the introduction of IPBC into cosmetics has led to several reports labeling IPBC as a potential new contact allergen. As the use of this seemingly safe preservative becomes vast, an incre...

Vaccination with thimerosal is relatively safe, even for individuals with delayed type hypersensitivity to this chemical, since more than 90% of allergic patients tolerated intramuscular challenge tests with thimerosal. A simplified protocol of patch tests to study mercury derivatives is proposed. It would be advisable to restrict the use of mercurial antiseptics and mercury thermometers.

In the past, much of this skin testing required the use of experimental animals. However, new current best approaches for skin corrosion and skin irritation testing and risk assessment are being defined, obviating the need for animal test methods. Several in vitro skin corrosion test methods have been endorsed after successful validation and are gaining acceptance by regulatory authorities. In vitro test methods for acute, cumulative (repeat exposure), and chronic (prolonged exposure) skin irritation are under development. Though not yet validated, many are being used successfully for testing and ri...

Analysis of skin diseases reported to OSHA (OSHA recordables) shows that the number of OSDs declined steadily from 1974 to 1983 to about half the previous annual incidence. After 1984, there was a modest resurgence peaking in 1994, with a subsequent decline. A similar but somewhat greater decline in the late 1990s has been observed for occupational respiratory diseases, diseases caused by toxic agents and for poisonings. Likely explanations for the trends in OSD are discussed; the initial decline probably reflected an improvement in ...

Cross reactivity between phenylephrine, epinephrine and ephedrine was studied by patch testing. Patch tests were performed with the European standard, an ophthalmics and preservatives series, Neosynerphin POS eyedrops, phenylephrine hydrochloride 10% aq., epinephrine and ephedrine (both 1.0 % aq.). Test sites were read after 48, 72 and 168 hours according to the recommendations of the ICDRG. Neosynerphin POS and phenylephrine hydrochloride 10 % aq. gave positive reactions, whereas epinephrine and ephedrine tested negative. Although phenylephrine is an epinephrine analog delayed type hypersensitivity to phenylephrine did not result in cross reactivity with chemic...

The patient was patch-tested using the North American Contact Dermatitis Group Standard Tray; 2,6 dimethoxyl 1,4 benzoquinone; and wood that he had been exposed to on a regular basis. Positive patch test reactions occurred to methyldibromo glutaronitrile phenoxyethanol, sodium gold thiosulfate, Bolivian rosewood, and Cocobolo wood. Allergens found in Bolivian rosewood and Cocobolo wood caused this patient's chronic dermatitis, which cleared when he avoided these woods.

Although most commonly found in rinse-off products, the chemical nonetheless has been shown to induce allergy. The actual component responsible for allergic reaction may be the final compound itself, CAPB, or one of the substances used in its synthesis that may be present as an impurity. Allergy to CAPB is most commonly seen in a head and neck distribution, although other patterns have been identified.
