    A garment worker experienced erythema multiforme and hand dermatitis due to nickel allergy. Patch testing confirmed nickel sensitivity, triggering a type III allergic reaction and skin inflammation.

    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Allergology
    • Toxicology

    Background:

    • Allergic contact dermatitis is a common skin condition.
    • Erythema multiforme is an acute, immune-mediated hypersensitivity reaction.

    Observation:

    • A garment worker presented with concurrent hand dermatitis and erythema multiforme.
    • Patch testing identified sensitivities to nickel and paraphenylenediamine.
    • Both conditions worsened during patch testing.

    Findings:

    • Nickel sensitivity was confirmed, with patch testing to nickel sulfate alone inducing erythema multiforme.
    • The case suggests nickel absorption through the skin can trigger a type III allergic reaction.
    • Paraphenylenediamine was also identified as a contact allergen.

    Implications:

    • This case highlights a potential link between occupational nickel exposure and erythema multiforme.
    • Understanding allergen absorption is crucial for diagnosing and managing complex dermatological reactions.
    • Further research into type III allergic reactions from cutaneous nickel exposure is warranted.
