RESUMO
Pigosept(R) is a prepackaged antiseptic swab for disinfection before blood sampling and intravenous injection. Tego(R) and isopropyl alcohol are the main components of Pigosept(R) swabs. Although Tego(R) has been reported as a common cause of allergic contact dermatitis (ACD), ACD from isopropyl alcohol is rare. We herein report a case of ACD caused by two components of Pigosept(R), Tego(R) and isopropyl alcohol, in a 50-year-old woman. This case demonstrates that dermatologists should be alert to the possibility of ACD due to isopropyl alcohol as well as Tego(R) in some prepackaged disinfectants such as Pigosept(R).
