[Cutaneous allergy to epichlorhydrine (author's transl)].
Allergies due to epichlorhydrin are seen more and more frequently. This product, which has several uses, is one of the essential components in epoxy resins. The follow-up of six cases has enabled us to determine the optimal concentration to be used in epichlorhydrin epicutaneous tests. Since this product is frequently encountered, it ought to be integrated among the other samples in current skin tests.

Molecular aspects of allergic contact dermatitis to plants. Recent progress in phytodermatochemistry.
A classification of plants based on the chemical structures of their skin sensitizers is presented. A whole range of chemical structures of contact sensitizers exists in plants containing sesquiterpene lactones (Compositae, Frullania, Lauraceae etc.), tulipalin (Tulipa, Alstroemeria etc.), quinones (Primula and tropical woods), long chain phenols (Anacardiaceae, Ginkgoaceae) and miscellaneous structures such as aldehydes, ketones, terpene hydrocarbons etc. Knowledge of allergens in various plants allows prediction of cross-reactivity.
