Eczéma palpébral à la norfloxacine en collyre chez un enfant : intérêt du ROAT

Abstract

Eyelid contact dermatitis to antibiotic eye drops is increasingly reported, but the fluoroquinolone is exceptionally involved. Patch tests are used to confirm the nature of the allergen, however, false-negative results are increasingly found. Alternative tests such as ROAT (Repeated Open Application Test) may be useful. We report the case of a 6 year old child with norfloxacin-induced palpebral eczema with negative patch tests, where the ROAT was of great interest.
