“…Important, corticosteroid use can result in skin anergy and in a false-negative skin test. Allergies to various pacemaker components have been reported, including titanium (Peters et al, 1984;Yamauchi et al, 2000), polychloroparaxylene (Iguchi et al, 1997), nickel (Landwehr & van Ketel, 1983), polyurethane (Abdallah et al, 1994), epoxy (Andersen, 1979), mercury (Brun & Hunziker, 1980), cadmium (Laugier et al, 1975), chromate (Laugier et al, 1975), silicone (Raque & Goldschmidt, 1970), and cobalt (Tilsey & Rotstein, 1980). Once an allergy has been demonstrated, it is imperative that the component either be eliminated from subsequent pacing systems or be completely coated.…”

“…The incidence due to rubber dermatitis in case of professional sensitization is less than 20% of sensitization. 13 The principal sensitisers include mercaptobenzothiazoies, thiurams, guanidine, dithiocarbomates, phenols and amines. The sources of rubber which causes contact dermatitis include rubber shoes, clothes, fingercots, protective glasses.…”

INTRODUCTIONA hundred years ago, the present day life man lives would have been unimaginable. In search of satisfying his basic needs man has made progress in leaps and bounds over the past few decades. Progress and enhancements of our scientific knowledge has enabled us to discover newer molecules, synthesize newer compounds and produce new hybrids and complexes, the result of this is that man is exposed to newer antigens and as the number of these increases day by day their complex interaction with the environment as well as man lead to a fascinating group of newer disorders clubbed together under "contact dermatitis". 1,2Contact dermatitis is an inflammatory response of the skin to various antigens and irritants. It accounts for a formidable proportion of dermatological consultations. It accounts for a formidable proportion of dermatological consultations. It is associated with significant morbidity, and it is one of the most common reasons for workmen's compensation claims for skin diseases.

It accounts for a formidable proportion of dermatological consultations. It accounts for a formidable proportion of dermatological consultations. It is associated with significant morbidity, and it is one of the most common reasons for workmen's compensation claims for skin diseases. Methods: The methodology included detailed history especially of potential sensitisers in the environment, occupation, hobbies, any contact with external application of cosmetics, drugs, ointments. Emphases on past history were recorded regarding the mode of presentation, progression, medication taken and their effect on allergic contact dermatitis. Results: Allergic contact dermatitis due to Parthenium hysterophorus accounts for 80 (64%) cases, allergic contact dermatitis due to wearing apparel and jewellery accounts for 21 (16.8%) cases, due to topical medicaments 10 (8%), allergic contact dermatitis due to cosmetics and occupational (professional) antigen constituting 7 (5.6%) each. Conclusions:The most common and important mode of contact is from the pollen or dried leaf fragments flying in the air which settles on the skin, clothes and induces allergy which is known as Air borne contact dermatitis, this is more common in men, outdoor professions or those who spent more time in outdoor including froresters, labourers, engineers, sports person, hunters, gardeners and farmers.
