Article Synopsis
- Clostridiopeptidase A, or collagenase 1, is an enzyme that helps break down collagen and is used in treatments for skin wounds and ulcers.
- Patients using Noruxol ointment, which contains this enzyme, developed periulcerative eczema, prompting further allergy testing.
- Patch testing revealed that most patients had questionable reactions to the ointment, but all reacted positively to clostridiopeptidase A, indicating its potential to cause sensitization in certain individuals.
