Wood exposure can cause allergic contact dermatitis. An 84-year-old woodworker developed this condition from Bolivian rosewood and Cocobolo wood, which resolved upon avoidance.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Toxicology
  • Occupational Health

Background:

  • Woods can cause allergic or irritant contact dermatitis on exposed skin.
  • Common wood allergens include quinones, stilbenes, phenols, and terpenes.

Observation:

  • An 84-year-old woodworker presented with chronic dermatitis.
  • The patient had regular exposure to Bolivian rosewood and Cocobolo wood.

Findings:

  • Patch testing revealed positive reactions to methyldibromo glutaronitrile phenoxyethanol, sodium gold thiosulfate, Bolivian rosewood, and Cocobolo wood.
  • Allergens in Bolivian rosewood and Cocobolo wood were identified as the cause of the patient's dermatitis.

Implications:

  • Identifying specific wood allergens is crucial for managing occupational contact dermatitis.
