    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Allergology
    • Occupational Health

    Background:

    • Colour developers are common in photographic processing.
    • Contact dermatitis and lichen planus-like eruptions are known side effects.
    • Recent reports are scarce due to automation in the industry.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To report four cases of dermatoses caused by Kodak CD4 colour developer.
    • To investigate cross-sensitivity reactions to other colour developers and p-phenylenediamine (PPD).
    • To ensure the purity of patch test allergens to validate cross-sensitivity findings.

    Main Methods:

    • Case study of four patients presenting with skin reactions.
    • Patch testing with Kodak CD4 colour developer, other colour developers, and PPD.
    • Analysis of allergen purity to rule out contamination or decomposition effects.

    Main Results:

    • Dermatoses were observed in four individuals exposed to Kodak CD4 colour developer.
    • Cross-sensitivity patterns were identified between different colour developers and PPD.
    • Allergen purity assessments were conducted to support the validity of the cross-sensitivity findings.

    Conclusions:

    • Kodak CD4 colour developer can cause significant skin reactions.
    • Cross-sensitivity to other photographic chemicals, including PPD, is a relevant clinical concern.
    • Ensuring allergen purity is crucial for accurate diagnosis of contact dermatitis in occupational settings.
