| Abstract |
Report of a patient whose urticaria appeared after 11 years of exposure to tobacco in a cigar and cigarette factory. None of the 750 other workers in the factory suffered from urticaria. Tobacco is well known as an irritant; it should be added to the list of agents that produce contact urticaria by an immunological mechanism. |
