Another case of sorbic acid sensitivity

Abstract

268SHORT COMMUNICATIONS no lanolin, while the formulation of another was given as lanolin 30 %, white spirit 70 %.One other contained 15 % lanolin.In a patient such as this the evidence can be no more than circumstantial that his dermatitis and lanolin allergy were caused by contact with the metal protective coating, but it is an occupational exposure that should be considered in engineering workers. Most patch test sur-veys of such workers, however, indicate that lanolin is a very rare occupational allergen.Reference Prout, J. (1973) Allergic dermatitis due to aniline dye additive.
