Airborne contact dermatitis from Ambrosia deltoidea (triangle-leaf bursage).

3 cases of contact dermatitis due to exposure to airborne allergens from Ambrosia deltoidea (triangle-leaf bursage) are presented. Although airborne plant dermatitis was suggested in each case by a history of aggravation of the rash by outdoor exposure and typical skin lesions, patch testing with an oleoresinous extract of A. deltoidea leaves identified the source of the sensitizer, not previously reported. As A. deltoidea is a ragweed that probably contains sesquiterpene lactones nearly identical to those of ragweeds widely prevalent in most of North America, the patients presented indicate the need for commercially available, standardized, plant extracts for patch testing in this country. The finding of positive patch tests with filters from an air sampler placed in 1 patient's domestic environment suggests a new avenue of investigation in airborne contact dermatitis.

Consort contact dermatitis due to oak moss.

An allergic contact dermatitis in a woman was found to be due to oak moss in her husband's after-shave lotion. When routine patch testing reveals a positive reaction, the dermatologist should consider exposure to the antigen not only in the patient but also through contact with the patient's consort.

Disability due to occupational contact dermatitis.

In 1977 skin disease accounted for 65% of industrial disease claims, and work-related contact dermatitis accounted for the bulk of these. Such cases pose a significant problem to all concerned: compensation authorities, occupational physicians, dermatologists, industry, unions, and affected workers and their families. The physician must create reasonable expectations in the mind of the patient in order to avoid predicting rapid resolution of the dermatitis.

Phototypesetting paper as a cause of allergic contact dermatitis in newspaper production workers.

Tertiary butyl catechol (TBC), an antioxidant in phototypesetting paper, caused allergic contact dermatitis in several newspaper production workers. Five of eight tested workers had strong positive tests to the paper and to 0.1 percent TBC. Only one had subsequent hypopigmentation. The newspaper agency where they work now uses a product which contains no TBC. Sensitized workers have remained free of dermatitis unless exposed to advertising copy from outside sources.

Allergic contact dermatitis: clinical features and profile of sensitizing allergens in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

BACKGROUND: No reports are available on allergic contact dermatitis in Saudi Arabia, although it seems to be a common skin problem. We attempted to explore certain clinical aspects in addition to the profile of sensitizing allergens in our area. As no standard panel for patch testing is available in our geographic region, we examined the suitability of the European Standard Series. METHODS: Patch testing was performed on 271 consecutive patients with various forms of dermititis, referred for evaluation of possible allergic contact dermatitis. The study included 147 women and 124 men. The patients were between 12 and 75 years of age. RESULTS: Out of 271 subjects, 152 (56.1%) showed one or more positive reactions. Of these, 80 (52.6%) were women and 72 (47.4%) were men. Almost one quarter of the patients (25.7%) presented with hand dermatitis. Positive reactions to 21 out of the 22 allergens were found. Sensitization was most common to nickel sulfate (39.5%), potassium dichromate (32.9%), and cobalt chloride (30.9%). Reactions to the other allergens ranged between 14.5% and 1.3%). Less than one percent of the patients (0.66%) reacted to benzocaine and showed no reaction to primin. CONCLUSIONS: Allergic contact dermatitis is a common skin problem in Saudi Arabia. Further studies that address the prevalence and incidence of the disease are indicated. The European Standard Series is suitable for patch testing patients in our community; however, we suggest exclusion of benzocaine and primin. The addition of three allergens of local relevance, black seed oil, local perfume mix, and henna, are presented and discussed. The formulation of a regional standard series for patch testing dermatitis patients in our geographic area requires further collaborative studies.

An update on airborne contact dermatitis.

This review is an update of 2 previously published articles on airborne contact dermatoses. Because reports in the literature often omit the term 'airborne', 18 volumes of Contact Dermatitis (April 1991-June 2000), 8 volumes of the American Journal of Contact Dermatitis (1992 1999) and 4 volumes of La Lettre du Gerda (1996-1999) were screened, and the cases cited were classified as to history, lesion locations, sensitization sources, and other factors. Reports on airborne dermatitis are increasingly being published, sometimes in relation to specific occupational areas.
