| Abstract |
A 26-year-old atopic male machine operator in a pharmaceutical factory with a six-month history of dermatitis on his eyelids, cheeks, lips, nose and nasolabial folds was referred to the dermatology department of an Israeli hospital. Patch tests were carried out with standard series and specific products, including chemicals used in the plant. Positive reactions were found to three of these substances (simvastatin, carvedilol and zolpidem). |
