Patch testing produced an eczematous skin reaction with type IV sensitization to tetrazepam. A relapse of contact dermatitis was successfully prevented by using occupational skin protection measures and organizational measures. Our case indicates that a sensitization to drugs should be considered when allergic contact dermatitis is suspected in nursing personnel. |
