- Abstract
The article presents a case of occupational airborne allergic contact dermatitis in the national mint and fiscal stamp factory. A 35-year-old woman had worked for 16 years at the printing section for lottery tickets. A month prior to consultation, she developed erythema, xerosis and facial swelling, with fissured cheilitis and some scattered pruriginous erythemacous lesions of the face and forearm flexures. Patch testing was undertaken with the standard series as well as complementary series for rubber chemicals and acrylaces. A diagnosis was subsequently made of occupational allergic contact dermatitis and the patient requested a change of workplace. Dermatitis was provoked on the face by airborne contact a few months after the introduction of UV varnish containing epoxy acrylate oligomers.
