abstract:
Contact dermatitis is defined as ‘‘airborne’’ when the causative factor is present in
the environment and may determine irritative or allergic skin reactions. It is often work-related.
In this review of the literature, we focus our attention on airborne contact dermatitis due
to pharmaceutical compounds. Contact reactions to medications, often occupation-related,
occur mainly in two exposed groups: employees of pharmaceutical industries involved in the
production of the drugs and healthcare workers who use the drugs for therapeutic aims.
