Airborne occupational sensitization and allergic contact dermatitis from streptomycin with cross‐reactivity to tobramycin.

The article discusses a case of airborne occupational sensitization and allergic contact dermatitis from streptomycin, with cross-reactivity to tobramycin, in a 44-year-old female working in a pharmaceutical company. Despite wearing protective gear, the patient experienced skin problems after handling streptomycin powder, which improved after avoiding contact with the substances. Patch tests confirmed the allergic reactions, highlighting the importance of considering cross-reactivity between aminoglycoside antibiotics. The authors recommend avoiding direct and indirect contact with streptomycin and tobramycin to prevent further symptoms. [Extracted from the article]
