Article Synopsis
- An aqueous antiseptic containing chlorhexidine digluconate, benzalkonium chloride, and benzyl alcohol (CBB) is commonly used in France, but its potential to cause allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) has been inadequately studied previously.
- A retrospective study analyzed 102 patients with confirmed ACD to CBB, revealing extensive skin lesions in 63% of cases and a significant delay in diagnosis for 55% of patients.
- Positive patch tests for CBB were found in 93.8% of patients, with benzyl alcohol being the main allergen in adults and chlorhexidine digluconate in children, indicating distinct sensitization profiles between age groups.*
Persistent itching nodules related to aluminium-adsorbed vaccines are well known in children with frequent positive patch tests to aluminium when tested. We report two cases of children with persistent postvaccination nodules who presented with atypical eruptions after aluminium patch tests.
