Systemic Contact Dermatitis

Systemic allergic dermatitis after patch testing with cinchocaine (dibucaine) and topical corticosteroids

“…Systemic allergic dermatitis arises if an individual who is sensitized via the skin is exposed to the same allergen or a cross‐reacting allergen by a different route . It is rarely elicited by cutaneous contact with an allergen, although transepidermal rechallenge has been reported . We report a case of systemic allergic dermatitis caused by patch testing.…”

Systemic Contact Dermatitis in Children: How an Avoidance Diet Can Make a Difference

A significant number of children are reported to be sensitized to this group of plants, because of a global increase in the use of ''natural'' and ''organic'' products that contain sesquiterpene lactones (SL), the most common allergen (28). Ingestion or inhalation of a variety of different flowers, herbs, vegetables, and weeds that are part of this family (e.g., chamomile, Echinacea, marigold, mugwort, Lactuca sativa (lettuce), Cynara scolymus (globe artichoke), Helianthus annuus (sunflower)) may initiate a systemic reaction (29).…”

“…This type of dermatitis has been described sporadically in the dermatological literature, and it has been reviewed by several authors. [1][2][3] In the 1930s, patients were often treated with the same antibiotics both topically and orally. Patients who were contact-sensitized to topical sulfonamides often had widespread cutaneous reactions when sulfonamides were administered orally.…”
