In common with many other members of this family, they contain sesquiterpene lactones (SLs) as allergens.[2] CASE REPORT A 35-year-old male greengrocer was referred from the Emergency Ward for severe "angioedema-like" periorbital eczema (Figure 1).

I scolymus i (L.) Hegi, or I Cynara cardunculus i var. I scolymus i (L.) Benth., or by other names all now regarded as synonyms, these vegetables belong the Compositae (or Asteraceae) family. The main SLs allergens in artichokes are reported to be cynaropicrin, grosheimin and its derivative 8-deoxy-11,13-dihydroxygrosheimin[2] but the specific SLs responsible for ACD to artichoke and their possible co- or cross-reactivity with other well-known SLs allergens remain unknown.

Paradoxically, this follow-up gives additional evidence that severe SLs-induced allergic contact dermatitis can be adequately treated with dupilumab when allergen exposure avoidance is impossible.[7] To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of a SLs allergic patient who was patch tested both before and on dupilumab. Dupilumab treatment in two patients with severe allergic contact dermatitis caused by sesquiterpene lactones. Follow-up of patch test reactivity to sesquiterpene lactone mix in a patient successfully treated with dupilumab for severe airborne allergic contact dermatitis. [Extracted from the article]

The article presents a case study of 21 year old infantile atopic eczema patient, with a 2-year history of Aquagenic Urticaria. It reports that when a water challenge test was performed by compress soaked with aqueous 3.5% Sodium chloride on epilated and non epilated skin, an urticarial reaction was started from tiny follicles presented on the epilated skin. It mentions that the disease might be due to the changed osmotic pressure and permeation of hypertonic water in hair follicles.

Background: Clinical performance measurements often employ outcome indicators to express the extent to which health services achieve a given clinical result. Objective: The objective of our study was to develop an outcome indicator of patch testing. We identified and measured as a possible indicator the ratio of patients with allergic and/or photo-allergic contact dermatitis clinically cured/improved as a result of identification of relevant allergens. Patients/Methods: Patients with positive reactions considered relevant to their current dermatitis were interviewed by telephone 2 months after patch/photo-patch testing in order to assess their clinical outcome in relation to the recommended elimination of supposedly relevant allergens. Results: Over a 4-year period positive reactions were seen in 1397 out of 2857 tested patients. Relevance was considered current in 578 subjects, and 506 of them were interviewed. Remission/significant improvement following allergen(s) contact avoidance was reported by 431 patients, the outcome indicator (431/506) thus scoring 85.2%. Among the 75 patients who reported no improvement, 41 had not avoided contact with the offending substance(s), 17 had other persistent concomitant skin conditions, and 17 were unchanged despite elimination of the alleged relevant allergens. Conclusions: The ratio of relevantly patch-test-positive patients resolved/improved after allergen avoidance is a useful patch-testing outcome indicator. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article presents a case study of a 40-year-old female patient with generalized eczema resistant to topical and oral steroids. She underwent patch testing and was sensitized to formaldehyde (+ at D2 and ++ at D3), and nickel sulfate (+ at D2 and D3). It mentions that patch testing with the Lonicera extract resulted to negative in 15 controls. The study showed that the "preservative-free" statement could be mislead if plant-derived materials were utilized as preservatives.

The article presents a case study of a 40-year-old ballroom dance teacher who has a figurative, and acute eczematous reaction with her right hand, back, waist, and left foot. She had past skin reactions to perfumes and deodorant, summer recurrences of dermatitis, and developed a vesico-bullous reaction following the application of ketoprofen-containing gel. She was given oral prednisolone for her dermatitis, and was told to avoid exposure to ultraviolet rays and any contact with ketoprofen.

The article presents case study of a 79-year-old woman with an 8-year-history of recurrent ulcerations of the oral mucosa. It mentions contact allergy was caused by methylisothiazolinone in a mouthwash as the likely trigger of oral pemphigus vulgaris. It adds that the patient stopped using the mouthwash.

The article presents a case study of a 49-year-old female patient, who developed face eczema after using Resveratrol BE cream for several weeks. Her dermatitis cleared after she stopped using the cream, and immediately recurred when she applied it again. Tests showed that she was allergic to Scutellaria baicalensis extracts (SBE) and resveratrol. The article discusses use of SBE in the traditional herbal remedy.

The article focuses on a study on methylisothiazolinone contact allergy with rinse-off cosmetics and household products. Topics discussed include possible combination of methylisothiazolinone with methylchloroisothiazolinone in cosmetics products; recommending ban of methylisothiazolinone in leave-on products by Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety of the European Commission; and prevalence of sensitization in shaving products.

The article presents a case study of a 25-year old medical student with physical urticaria. The patient underwent patch testing to apply Hypafix™ dressing for better adherence. It states that the removal of the dressing enables the patches to elicit tiny wheals appearance into pruritic plaque. It also notes that the urticaria occurred whenever the patient epilated her legs using waxes.
