“…Basic, active, and additive agents of ophthalmic preparations are known allergens of the periorbital region. Most frequent ophthalmic allergens are phenylephrine, betablockers, antibiotics, resorcine, pilocarpine, thiomersal, chloramphenicol, and antazoline 35–39 . PD as occupational skin disease can be mainly observed in dental, cosmetic, wood and food industry, and in animal husbandry 40–42 .…”

[35][36][37][38][39] PD as occupational skin disease can be mainly observed in dental, cosmetic, wood and food industry, and in animal husbandry. [40][41][42] Plants and herbs may also cause PD: in case of allergy, exposure to the powder, extractum, and/or the pollen of the particular plant provokes contact dermatitis of the region.…”

The occurence of contact hypersensitivity in PD patients was in present study 34.4%. A relatively high occurrence was seen in cases of PD without other symptoms, in PD + OC and in PD + AD patients. The predominance of environmental contact allergens was remarkable: most frequent sensitizers were nickel sulphate, fragrance mix I, balsam of Peru, thiomersal, and PPD. The prevalence of contact hypersensitivity to ophthalmic allergens did not exceed l.5%.

“…Tetracaine hydrochloride may cause occupational allergic contact dermatitis in dentists (1-3, 7), health personnel (1), oculists (4) and chiropodists (5). Sensitivity to tetracaine hydrochloride of non-occupational origin has also been reported (1,3,6). In British patients, the use of anti-haemorrhoidal ointments has been the main source of sensitization to tetracaine hydrochloride (3), which has a strong sensitizing potential (8).…”

“…[1,2] Even though reactions are frequently correlated to excipients [3][4][5] and to antibiotics, not rarely are described after instillation of mydriatic agent, in particular phenylephrine which is a direct sympathomimetic drug which interacts with alpha-adrenergic receptors. [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13] Since a standardized panel of tests capable of identify the pathogenetic mechanism is not still available, Villareal, [14] as other authors, [15] have used a self-made patch tests panel with substances included in the eyedrops (either active principles or excipients) at different concentrations.…”
