ABSTRACT
Cephalosporins are B-lactam antibiotics. They are usually bactericidal in action and act by inhibiting mucopeptide synthesis in the bacterial cell wall. Cephalosporins have been used widely in Korea. However, allergic contact dermatitis to cephalosporins has not been reported in the Korean dermatologiy literature. We report a case of allergic contact dermatitis due to cephalosporins in a 23-year-old nurse who suffered from itchy, erythematous patches and plaques with numerous fissures on both hands. A patch test with ceftriaxone and a prick test with cefotiam were positive.
