“…11 Contact allergy to textile dyes can manifest as generalized eczema, mimicking extensive AD. 19 We believe that the high frequency of textile dye sensitization in our study could be due to multiple factors. Firstly, the inclusion of textile dye mix in the European standard baseline series only occurred in 2015.…”

BackgroundThe relationship between atopic dermatitis (AD) and allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) is a matter of debate.ObjectivesThe purpose of our study is to assess the frequency of ACD in patients with AD, the incriminated allergens and the potential risk factors.MethodsThis is a prospective study, including cases of AD diagnosed based on Hanifin and Rajka's criteria. All patients were patch tested to the European baseline series and corticosteroid series.ResultsNinety‐three patients were included. Fifty‐six patients (60.2%) had positive patch test results of which 71.4% were relevant. The most frequent allergens were: textile dye mix (24.7%), nickel (20.4%), cobalt (12.9%), isothiazolinone (8.6%), quanterium 15 (4.3%) and balsam of Peru (4.3%). Chromium, fragrance mix I, fragrance mix II and PTBP were positive in three cases (3.2%). Two cases of allergy to corticoids were identified. Facial involvement and duration of AD were significantly associated with contact sensitization (p = 0.04 and p = 0.005, respectively). Avoidance of relevant allergens resulted in a statistically significant decrease in SCORAD (p < 0.001).ConclusionsACD remains an important co‐morbidity of AD. We observed a high frequency of ACD to textile dyes, isothiazolinones and fragrances. Avoidance of relevant allergens has resulted in an improvement of patients' skin symptoms.

“…Black powder had collected in his hair and contributed to on-going neck dermatitis, as became evident when cutting his hair—which finally led to resolution of dermatitis [ 198 ]. Textiles ACD often resembles atopic dermatitis, which makes diagnosis difficult, as illustrated by a 39-year-old Danish male with a history of atopic dermatitis, whose superimposed textile dermatitis due to sensitisation to various PPD-related dyes had been diagnosed only because additional work-related hand dermatitis was suspected, and a patch test was initiated [ 199 ].…”

Contact allergy is common, affecting 27% of the general population in Europe. Original publications, including case reports, published since 2016 (inclusive) were identified with the aim of collating a full review of current problems in the field. To this end, a literature search employing methods of systematic reviewing was performed in the Medline® and Web of Science™ databases on 28 January 2018, using the search terms (“contact sensitization” or “contact allergy”). Of 446 non-duplicate publications identified by above search, 147 were excluded based on scrutiny of title, abstract and key words. Of the remaining 299 examined in full text, 291 were deemed appropriate for inclusion, and main findings were summarised in topic sections. In conclusion, diverse sources of exposures to chemicals of widely-differing types and structures, continue to induce sensitisation in man and may result in allergic contact dermatitis. Many of the chemicals are “evergreen” but others are “newcomers”. Vigilance and proper investigation (patch testing) are required to detect and inform of the presence of these haptens to which our populations remain exposed.
