Delayed Type Hypersensitivity Response

PLE is considered a delayed-type hypersensitivity response (DTHR) against a putative ultraviolet (UV)-induced de novo antigen. The level of IL-36, in particular IL-36γ, is increased in patients’ skin and blood.

Delayed Type Hypersensitivity Response

Background: A 15-year-old Hispanic adolescent with multiple amateur India ink tattoos developed a recurrent, eczematous pruritic eruption several weeks after each treatment with the Q-switched ruby laser. Objective: To determine if the patient was having an allergic reaction to tattoo dye pigment or an allergic contact dermatitis. Methods: Open- and closed-patch testing was performed to Polysporin® ointment, which revealed a 2+ vesicular reaction. Conclusion: Delayed-type hypersensitivity responses to contact allergens can very closely mimic the less common allergic reactions to dye pigment from tattoos. Open- and closed-patch testing to topical medications should be performed on any patient suspected of having an allergic reaction to tattoo dye pigment.

Abstract: Allergic contact dermatitis is a delayed type hypersensitivity reaction (type IV) cell-mediated, as a result of specific antigens that penetrate the epidermal layer of the skin. In general, due to the chemicals contained in devices worn by patients such as accesories, clothing, shoes, cosmetics, and topical drugs or tools associated with the job. This study was aimed to determine the profile of allergic contact dermatitis in the department of Prof.Dr. RD Kandou Manado. This was a descriptive reprospective study. Subjects were patients who come to the Clinic of Skin and Venereolgyl Prof. Dr. R. D. Kandou Hospital Manado with the diagnosis of allergic contact dermatitis based on the data ofn medical records from January to December 2013. The most common patients were females (43%) and aged 45-64 years (43%). Most therapy consisted of antihistamin and corticosteroid (61%).Keywords: allergic contact dermatitisAbstrak: Dermatitis kontak alergi adalah reaksi hipersensitifitas tipe lambat (tipe IV) yang diperantai sel, akibat antigen spesifik yang menembus lapisan epidermis kulit. Pada umumnya disebabkan karena bahan kimia yang terkandung dalam alat-alat yang dikenakan oleh penderita seperti asesoris, pakaian, sepatu, kosmetika, dan obat-obatan topikal atau alat-alat yang berhubungan dengan pekerjaan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui profil dermatitis kontak laergi di RSUP Prof. Dr. R.D. Kandou Manado. Jenis penelitian ialah deskriptif retrospektif. Subjek penelitian ialah pasien yang datang ke Poliklinik Kulit dan Kelamin RSUP Prof. Dr. R. D. Kandou Manado dengan diagnosis dermatitis kontak alergi berdasarkan data di bagian rekan medik periode Januari sampai Desember 2013. Penderita yang paling sering terserang dermatitis ialah dewasa dengan usia 45-64 tahun (43%), jenis kelamin perempuan (66%). Jenis obat yang paling sering digunakan yaitu obat antihistamin serta kortikosteroid (61%).Kata kunci: dermatitis kontak alergi
