Abstract:
Airborne contact dermatitis is caused by hypersensitivity of the delayed type (cell-mediated allergy). This contact allergy is brought about by airborne plant particles, which affect the unclothed skin, especially outdoors. In 2 patients, we found strong reaction to different plants of the compositae family, their mutual allergens being sesquiterpene lactones.
