[Occupational allergic contact dermatitis from color developers used in automatic developing].

The color developers CD2, CD3 and CD4 and the black-and-white developer TSS are well known contact allergens that affect those who work in photographic processing. The frequency of occupational allergic contact dermatitis from color developers has decreased in recent years because of the fact that most photo developing takes place automatically, reducing exposure to different chemicals used in developing. We present a case of occupational allergic contact dermatitis in a non-atopic male who had worked for the last 5 years in a photography shop equipped with an automatic developing machine. The clinical morphology of the lesions was eczematous, and the patch tests showed contact sensitization to CD2, CD3, CD4 and TSS. The clinical symptoms cleared up when direct contact with the developing product containing CD3 and CD4 was avoided.

[Mycosis fungoides-type eruptions induced by carbamazepine].

Cutaneous pseudolymphomas are inflammatory diseases of the skin that simulate malignant lymphomas in their clinical and/or histological form. Those induced by drugs are infrequent and are characterized by their clinical and histological polymorphism. There is no consensus regarding the definition of these dermatoses, and they can be seen in different forms of presentation. There are two main groups of drug-induced pseudolymphomas: those that clinically and histologically simulate cutaneous lymphomas, and those known as hypersensitivity syndromes. Pseudolymphomas cannot be differentiated from true lymphomas through clinical, pathological or molecular findings. The definitive test for diagnosis is the resolution of the lesions after the medication involved is suspended. We present three cases of carbamazepine-induced cases of pseudolymphomas that histologically simulate mycosis fungoides, with different clinical presentations.
