Abstract
Nine farmers suspected of having occupational contact dermatitis had positive patch tests to spiramycin and/or tylosin [which are commonly used in veterinary medicine]. After diagnosis the dermatitis cleared or improved markedly in 7 patients; 5 of these stopped using the antibiotics in question, and 2 began to wear gloves while handling the drugs. The 2 patients who continued use of the drugs and took no precautionary measures had little change in the activity of the dermatitis.Keywords
