We report a case of allergic contact dermatitis due to alcamphor present in a flushing solution used by a 58-year-old woman. It is the first case described in our Division of Allergy and the second one reported in the literature. Alcamphor is a chemical substance present in many products that may have been underestimated as the causative agent of contact allergic dermatitis as the allergen is not available in the standard patch test batteries.

Describimos una dermatitis de contacto alérgica por alcanfor, contenido en un líquido rubefaciente usado por una mujer de 58 años. Es el primer caso descrito en nuestra Unidad de Alergia y el segundo en la literatura. El alcanfor es una sustancia química contenida en numerosos productos y puede que se haya infravalorado como causa etiológica de dermatitis de contacto alérgicas, al no disponer del alérgeno en las baterías preparadas para la detección de dichas dermatitis

Presentamos a una paciente de 67 años con intolerancia a una prótesis dental extraíble de metal-metacrilato y con paladio como única positividad a las 48 y 96 h. Dadas las pruebas epicutáneas efectuadas se descarta cualquier otra positividad, y por tanto ninguna reacción cruzada con níquel, cobalto u otros metales como el cromo, el vanadio, el cobre, el cadmio, la plata, el galio, el iridio, etc (AU)

Se expone el caso de una paciente que había sido tratada quirúrgicamente de un cáncer de mama hace 10 años y con posterioridad tratada con radioterapia y quimioterapia. Actualmente y, por lo que presumimos de forma retrospectiva, realiza varios tratamientos para una neurodermitis de la nuca y presenta intolerancia a varios productos que utiliza de forma sucesiva (Diprogenta, Clovate, Lactisona, Canesten etc.), situación poco frecuente en la que un paciente se va sensibilizando de forma progresiva a todos los tratamientos que va utilizando. La paciente en la fase de sensibilización presenta una predisposición a reaccionar frente a diversos productos que utiliza de forma tópica. Llegados a este punto nos preguntamos: a) ¿Es éste el momento de realizar pruebas epicutáneas?, y b) ¿Contribuimos con ellas a nuevas sensibilizaciones en estos pacientes? (AU)
