Abstract

A case of occupational allergic contact dermatitis with conjunctivitis and rhinitis due to tulips bulbs is described. The patient, aged 23, was employed in a florist storehouse. The dermatitis, affecting his hands, face, armpits, knees, elbows and ears, was accompanied by a rhinoconjunctivitis. Patch tests made with a tulip thin slice outcome positive results. The appearance, the way of arising and the results of the patch tests suggest the existence of an immediate type immunologic reaction (type I or IgE-dependent hypersensibility)
