Probing skin photoallergens in reconstructed human epidermis: An EPR spin trapping investigation. [PDF]
We present an original proof‐of‐concept methodology to probe radical generation from allergens in contact with photoexposed skin, using electron paramagnetic resonance and spin trapping in a reconstructed human epidermis model mimicking real‐life exposure scenarios.

Experimental Photoallergic Contact Dermatitis: A Mouse Model [PDF]
We have induced photoallergic contact dermatitis in mice to 3,3',4',5 tetrachlorosalicylanilide (TCSA), chlorpromazine and 6-methylcoumarin. These compounds are known to produce photoallergic contact dermatitis in humans. The photoallergic contact dermatitis reaction in the mouse is immunologically specific viz.

Allergic Contact Dermatitis Reaction to Permanent Tattoo Containing Paraphenylenediamine: A Case Report. [PDF]
Paraphenylenediamine (PPD) is a well‐known culprit allergen in the literature and clinical practice. Although this has been described in temporary tattoos, the definite implication of PPD in permanent tattoos has not been described. We report a patient who developed severe allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) requiring skin grafting after receiving a ...

Occupational photoallergic contact dermatitis to thiourea in a firefighter. [PDF]
Thioureas are a relatively uncommon cause of allergic contact dermatitis and a rare cause of photoallergic contact dermatitis. They are primarily used as vulcanization accelerators in the production of neoprene, and common sources of exposure include gloves, shoe insoles, wet suits, and orthopedic braces.
