- Abstract
This article reports the case of a forty-seven year old man employed for cleaning gold clock faces who contracted erythematous pruritic dermatitis with papules but no vesicles on the trunk and forearms. Patch testing showed a positive reaction only to gold chloride. For this reason he was discharged from his job. Eight months later, the patient was seen again for an erythematous circular plaque at the site of the previous patch test. A skin biopsy revealed a dense lympho-monocytic infiltrate of whole dermis: the dermal-epidermal junction was eroded in some places and some small lymphocytes were seen in the epidermis.
