Delayed allergic epoxy dermatitis

Delayed Allergic Epoxy Dermatitis Epoxy-Resin Compounds... 

Contact urticaria usually clears spontaneously repeated exposure may produce dermatitis (eczema). In addition, it may be associated with allergic contact dermatitis (type-IV hypersensitivity), von Krogh and Maibach [4] tested 67 patients for immediate and delayed hypersensitivity, and 22 (33%) developed a positive delayed response subsequent to the initial wheal-and-flare reaction. The responsible agents were food products, rubber latex, cinnamic aldehyde, para-aminodiphenylamine, ethylaminobenzoate, ammonium persulfate, teak, epoxy resin and lemon perfume. They suggested that the term contact dermatitis of immediate and delayed type be used for patients exhibiting both types of reactions in the test situation, whether the initial reaction is uncharacteristic, urticarial or vesicular [4].
