A short case report is presented of a nurse who experienced urticaria on the face, chest, upper limbs and feet 30min after preparing cisplatin infusion solution. Open tests with both ammonium tetrachloroplatinate and ammonium hexachloroplatinate were positive, as was a handling test. A case of immunologic contact urticaria was diagnosed. |
