Abstract

The use of rubber gloves has increased in recent years. At the same time, there has
been a progressive increase of the incidence of occupational and nonoccupational sensitization
to rubber components. Chromate sensitivity has been reported as a very common combination
in the rubber allergic building workers.
We report a case of contact dermatitis to rubber glove and cement in a 69-year-old man
who presented erythematous patches with severe itching on both hands, especially on the
lateral sides of fingers. On patch test, he showed positive reactions to thiuram mix,
mercaptobenzothiazole, potassium dichromate and rubber glove as is.
The patients was treated with topical and systemic corticosteroid and antihistamine with a
good clinical responses.
