Contact dermatitis from acrylics in a histology laboratory assistant.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
The use of acrylics has expanded enormously, resulting in a vast range of products for both occupational and non-occupational purposes. Acrylics reported to cause allergic contact dermatitis in histology technicians are 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate and 2-hydroxyethel acrylate. PMID: 19807996 [PubMed - in process] (Source: Dermatitis)

A mechanism-based classification of dermatologic reactions to biologic agents used in the treatment of cutaneous disease: Part 2.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Biologic therapies are an efficacious new method of controlling a number of chronic conditions. Data regarding these medications continues to emerge, giving clinicians a greater understanding of their side effects profiles. The biologic agents used in dermatology, particularly the tumor necrosis factor-alpha inhibitors, have a number of varied dermatologic side effects. In this two-part article, we perform a review of literature regarding cutaneous side effects of infliximab, etanercept, adalimumab, rituximab, efalizumab, and alefacept. In this second part, we discuss injection site reactions, infusion reactions, vascu...

A localized flare of dermatitis may render patch tests uninterpretable in some patients with recently controlled widespread dermatitis.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
CONCLUSION: In patients with irritable skin either immediately after widespread dermatitis is controlled or after the cessation of systemic corticosteroid treatment, a flare of dermatitis induced by patch testing may render patch tests unreadable and therefore uninterpretable. To avoid this confounding occurrence, a waiting period between control of widespread dermatitis and initiation of patch testing is advised. PMID: 19808000 [PubMed - in process] (Source: Dermatitis)

Questionnaire study of the prevalence of allergic contact dermatitis from cosmetics in Israel.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
CONCLUSIONS: The 3.1% prevalence rate of cosmetics contact allergic dermatitis in a randomly selected population in Israel is similar to values reported in the literature (about 2%). The higher-than-expected rate of subjective sensitivity to facial cream among patients with proven cosmetics allergy may be explained by the wide use of facial cream, facial skin susceptibility to insult, and the relatively long duration of contact of facial cream (a leave-on product) with the skin.

A 28-year-old woman developed allergic contact dermatitis within 6 to 24 hours exclusively after using carmine-containing eyeshadows and lipsticks. She had both a positive patch test result and a positive antecubital repeated open application test result with carmine 2.5% in petrolatum. Thirty other patients had negative patch test results. Carmine is a widely used pigment derived from gravid cochineal insects. Carminic acid is the source of its color. Only two previous publications describing allergic contact dermatitis from carmine could be found. The ingredient in carmine causing these delayed hypersensitivity react...

Patch testing was performed with the North American screening series, an isocyanate series, and 1% Chem-Dec 808 isocyanate. At day 7, a +++ reaction to Chem-Dec 808 isocyanate and a ++ reaction to the aromatic isocyanate diphenylmethane-4,4'-diisocyanate were observed.

Consumer allergy to oxidative hair coloring products: epidemiologic data in the literature.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Oxidative hair dyes have repeatedly come to the attention of the dermatologic community owing to concerns about contact dermatitis. A review of the scientific literature provides insight into the prevalence of p-phenylenediamine (PPD)-sensitized individuals and on the prevalence of hair dye dermatitis in various types of patient and nonpatient populations mainly from Europe and from the United States and Asia. Most of the results are obtained through patch testing with PPD. PPD is one of the main oxidation colorants; however, patch-test prevalence of PPD is not equivalent to prevalence of hair dye allergy. An analysis ...

An interesting case of joint prosthesis allergy.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
A rare case of contact allergic dermatitis from metal knee joint prostheses is presented. The low incidence of allergic contact dermatitis from metal prostheses is surprising, especially given the frequency of metal allergy, particularly to nickel and cobalt, in the general population. Even patients with known metal allergy often do not react to their metal prosthesis. Systemic allergic contact dermatitis is particularly uncommon with knee joint replacements where the articulation is metal on plastic rather than metal on metal as the former has decreased metal wear debris. In this particular case, there was prior docum...

Irritant contact dermatitis from plants.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Irritant contact dermatitis (ICD) from plants is a very common phenomenon as potentially irritant plants and plant products are commonly found in the everyday environment, including the home, garden, workplace, and recreational setting. It is therefore essential to have a basic understanding of the various plant-derived physical and chemical irritants. ICD from plants is commonly divided into mechanical irritant contact dermatitis (MICD) and chemical irritant contact dermatitis (CICD). The common mechanical plant irritants include thorns, spines, glochids, trichomes, and sharp-edged leaves. Many chemical irritants have...

Shampoos are used almost universally in developed countries to wash the hair on a daily basis. A number of known contact allergens are used as ingredients in shampoos, and contact allergy due to shampoos is a well known entity.
