Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Allergology
  • Occupational Health

Background:

  • Diagnosing clothing-related contact dermatitis is challenging due to varied clinical presentations.
  • Literature suggests textile dermatitis is more prevalent than previously recognized.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate patients suspected of textile contact dermatitis between 1991 and 1997.
  • To identify common allergens and clinical manifestations in textile contact dermatitis.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of patient records from three contact dermatitis clinics.
  • Clinical evaluation and patch testing using the European Standard series and Textile Colors and Finish series.
  • Analysis of positive reactions to specific textile dye allergens.

Main Results:

  • 40% (22 of 55) of patients showed positive patch tests to textile dye allergens.
  • Disperse Blue 124, Disperse Blue 85, Disperse Red 17, and Disperse Blue 106 were the most frequent allergens.
  • Erythematosquamous lesions (56%) were the most common clinical presentation, followed by pustular lesions (16%).

Conclusions:

  • A significant percentage of selected patients (40%) reacted positively to textile dye allergens.
  • Disperse Blue 124, 85, and 106 are frequently implicated in textile contact dermatitis.
  • Pustular allergic contact dermatitis, alongside the common erythematosquamous form, can be triggered by textile dyes.
