cinnamic alcohol/dermatitis

The aim of the present study was to assess exposure to constituents of the fragrance mix from cosmetic products used by fragrance-mix-positive eczema patients. 23 products, which had either given a positive patch and/or use test in a total of 11 fragrance-mix-positive patients, were analyzed. In all

BACKGROUND Allergic contact dermatitis prevalence is reported as equal in atopic and nonatopic dermatitis. Atopic dermatitis is under-represented in those with allergic contact dermatitis to agents having cutaneous and dietary exposure. We compared rates of atopic dermatitis between patients with

Cinnamic alcohol and cinnamic aldehyde are a cause of allergic contact dermatitis in man and give rise to similar rates of positive reactions in routine patch testing. However, data from animal models indicates that the aldehyde is the stronger sensitizer of the two. Circumstantial evidence has

Cinnamic alcohol is a frequent contact allergen, causing allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) in a substantial number of individuals sensitized from contacts with fragrances. Hence, cinnamic alcohol is one of the constituents in fragrance mix I (FM I) used for screening contact allergy in dermatitis

The purpose of this study is to determine the frequency of responses to selected fragrances in patients with suspected fragrance allergy and to evaluate the risk factors. 9 dermatology departments of university hospitals have participated in this study for the past 1 year. To determine allergic

A case of long-lasting, extensive eczematous and bullous dermatitis affecting exposed areas (arms and legs), beginning within 24 hr after having a mud bath with cinnamon essential oil in a spa, in a 74-year-old woman, is reported. Patch tests with the GEIDC standard battery and the dental battery

Seventy-nine patients with eyelid dermatitis and 1012 patients with dermatitis at other sites were assessed with patch tests. Eighty-nine percent of the eyelid cases involved women. Only the eyelids were involved in 78.5% of cases. Of the patients with eyelid dermatitis 46% had allergic contact

Patch tests to several screening sets of fragrance materials were performed on 20 perfume-sensitive patients. The most common allergens were found to be a jasmin synthetic (18 of 20 patients), cinnamic alcohol (15 of 20 patients), and hydroxycitronella (9 of 20 patients). More than half of the

BACKGROUND Studies show that balsam-restricted diets result in significant improvement of systemic contact dermatitis in patients with contact allergy to balsam of Peru (BOP). While tomatoes have been implicated as a frequent cause of BOP-related dermatitis, the presence of BOP in tomatoes has never

Fragrances are worldwide a major cause of allergic contact dermatitis (ACD), a delayed-type hypersensitivity reaction mediated by T lymphocytes. We investigated T cell responses to fragrances using peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) and T cells from skin lesions of fragrance-allergic

BACKGROUND Cinnamal/cinnamic alcohol and isoeugenol/eugenol are pairs of related fragrance chemicals found in Fragrance Mix I (FM I), and thus are routinely tested in combination with other fragrances in the European standard patch test series. Their close structural similarity makes the occurrence

BACKGROUND In relation to the wide use of cosmetics, serious adverse effects are rare. Occasionally, unwanted effects such as contact dermatitis are reported. Allergic reactions to cosmetics are often caused by fragrances. OBJECTIVE The aim was to investigate the content of fragrance mix (FM)

Fragrances are one of the major causes of allergic contact dermatitis from use of cosmetics. The aim of the current study was to assess the possible exposure of infants and children to fragrance allergens from cosmetic products and "toy-cosmetics". 25 children's cosmetics or toy-cosmetic products

BACKGROUND The most common reaction to fragrances is contact dermatitis, a delayed hypersensitivity reaction; however, other reactions include immediate contact reactions (contact urticaria) and photo-allergic reactions. Fragrance mix (FM) and balsam of Peru (BP) are used to screen for fragrance

BACKGROUND trans-Cinnamaldehyde and trans-cinnamic alcohol cause allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) in humans; cinnamaldehyde is a more potent sensitiser than cinnamic alcohol. These two chemicals are principal constituents of the European Standard 'Fragrance Mix', as used in patch testing
