- Abstract
This article focuses on a study related to the allergic contact dermatitis from thiamine. Allergic contact dermatitis is mainly associated with xenobiotics and rarely with essential substances such as vitamins. A 54-year-old nonatopic former grocer, employed in a pharmaceutical plant, filled and packed thiamine hydrochloride in a dusty process. After one month, he developed an itchy eczema on forearms and dorsa of hands, with some spread to the face. Thiamine hydrochloride, and possibly its intermediates, constitute a definite risk of allergic contact dermatitis.
