Contact dermatitis education in dermatology residency programs: can (will) the American Contact Dermatitis Society be a force for improvement?Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
CONCLUSIONS: Several opportunities for improving contact dermatitis education in residency programs were identified, including recruitment or development of more faculty experts in contact dermatitis, creation of rotations dedicated to contact dermatitis, and greater inclusion of contact dermatitis-focused journals in journal club conferences. 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.

Photocontact allergy to diallyl disulfide.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Although phototoxic reactions to plants are common, photoallergic contact dermatitis to plants and plant products rarely occurs. 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 authors conclude that although photo...

We report the case of a hairdresser who was found to be allergic to CHC. 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 bea...

Common shoe allergens undetected by commercial patch-testing kits: dithiodimorpholine and isocyanates.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
The diagnosis of allergic contact dermatitis of the feet is challenging because the constituents of shoes are not labeled. 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 ...

A 35-year-old man presented with a 2-month history of intensely pruritic excoriated and crusted linear lesions on the dorsa of the left hand and left forearm (Fig 1). The patient had worked in construction for 2 years, and his job consisted mainly in covering the facades of buildings with cement. The patient was right-handed and used a black rubber glove as a protective measure only on his left hand (Fig 2). He reported that the lesions resolved partially during holidays and weekends and clearly flared in association with his work. There was no history of atopic dermatitis, drug use, or intolerance to metals, rubber, o...

We report the case of a 53-year-old furniture and cabinetmaker who exhibited a generalized reaction mimicking erythroderma after exposure to sawdust from the wood. Patch testing to plants and woods standard (Chemotechnique, Dormer Laboratories, Ontario, Canada) was negative, and the specific allergen in cocobolo, obtusaquinone, was not available to us. The patient was tested instead to shavings of various woods as well as to sawdust of the suspected wood in petrolatum. He exhibited an exuberant response (+++) to both shavings and sawdust of cocobolo. After successful patch testing with shavings and sawdust in the absence o...

Structure-activity relationships in allergic contact dermatitis. Part III. The sensitizing capacity of substituted phenanthrenequinones: a quantum-mechanical approach.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
CONCLUSION: Substitution with methoxy groups at C-7 and/or at C-8 of ring C of 1,4-phenanthrenequinone increases the LUMO coefficients at the 2,3 double bond of ring A and thus facilitates nucleophilic substitution of protein nitrogen or sulfur nucleophiles at this electron-deficient double bond. 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 consider...

Sensitization to palladium chloride: a 10-year evaluation.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
CONCLUSION: Sensitization to palladium is increasing by the year, reaching high values, but its role in reducing sensitization and symptoms is still unclear because of the frequent cosensitization with nickel and the low number of monosensitized patients with relevant sensitizations. We need to follow palladium sensitization in future years to verify an increase of sensitization due to the increasing use of this metal. PMID: 14749025 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE]

Stinging nettle dermatitis.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
The stinging nettle (Urtica dioica) is a common weed that can cause a wide range of cutaneous reactions. 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.

Telangiectatic erythematous cutaneous reaction to an implantable cardioverter defibrillator.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
A 76-year-old man developed progressive blanchable reticulate erythema at the implantation site of his third implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD). 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...

Intolerance to topical products may be due to dermographism.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Patients with reactions to topical products may be eliciting a physical urticaria, dermographism, by rubbing. 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 dermo...

Contact urticaria, allergic contact dermatitis, and photoallergic contact dermatitis from oxybenzone.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
There is little literature regarding conventional patch tests and photopatch tests to oxybenzone resulting in both immediate- and delayed-type hypersensitivity reactions. 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. Allergic contact dermatitis to sunscreen chemicals has trad...

Contact dermatitis is a common and important condition in the occupational setting. 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.
