Abstract:
The "baboon syndrome" is a rare variant of systemic contact dermatitis and is characterized by general exanthema with particular involvement of buttocks and flexures. Here we present a 25-year-old female with contact allergy to nickel, who developed baboon syndrome after systemic administration of this allergen.
