Abstract
Abstract.—We have reviewed cases of allergic contact dermatitis from shoes seen at the Hospital 12 de Octubre over the last 2 years; we have analysed personal history, clinics and positive results to different allergens; we also compared our result with other series. Materials and method: We review patients with possible footwear dermatitis seen at our hospital between January 1999 and March 2001. Results: allergic contact dermatitis from shoes have been suspected in 41 patients, 11 men and 7 women, between 16 and 64 years old. A 78% of patients have atopy. The most frequent clinic presentation was eccematous pattern with 89%. The responsible allergen was chromo in 83% cases. We want to mention the little contribution of the specific battery for shoes, only in one patient would have not known one responsible allergen if we had used only standard battery.
