Rare allergens - hidden sources of allergens.

Acceleration of technical development results in growing difficulties to trace allergens. In this respect rare allergens as well as hidden sources of well-known allergens not infrequently cause persistence of allergic dermatitis. Examples are presented for di-ethyl-ester of maleic acid, hydroxylammoniumhydrochloride, N-methyl-p-aminophenol, 2-hydroxy-3-naphtoic acid o-aniside and N-acetoacetyl-benzylamide.

[Lymphocyte transformation test in the diagnosis of occupational allergy (author's transl)].

In 139 persons occupationally exposed to compounds of chromium, formaldehyde and p-phenylenediamine lymphocytic transformation test (ltt) was performed to detect a delayed-type hypersensitivity. In patients suffering from either contact dermatitis or allergic respiratory diseases the findings of ltt were concordant only in about one third of the cases in comparison to patch testing, intracutaneous test, nasal provocation or inhalation test.

[Occupational dermatoses due to polyurethane drugs].

Twenty cases of occupational dermatoses caused by isocyanates, especially diphenylmethane diisocyanate (MDI), isophorone diisocyanate (IPDI), toluene diisocyanate (TDI) and tri-isocyanate-triphenylmethane are reported. The handling of patch test substances is described. Personal in test laboratories have to be considered as persons at risk. Findings give some evidence for cross-sensitization between MDI and the corresponding diamine diaminodiphenylmethane. Moreover, it is supposed that MDI may give rise to cross-sensitization to p-phenylene diamine and chemically related compounds.
