Abstract
A patient developed multiple rare medicament contact allergies including sensitivities to gentian violet, yellow and white soft paraffin, and Span 20 (sorbitan monolaurate). Ni sensitivity antedated these medicament allergies. The possibility that Ni sensitivity is a marker of a predilection to develop multiple medicament allergies was tested. There was no increased incidence of Ni sensitivity in a group of patients with 2 or more medicament allergies.Keywords
