2. 1. Adverse Reactions after Vaccination and Allergen-Specific Immunotherapy: Contact Allergy to Aluminium and Itching Nodules

   Author : Eva Netterlid; Yrkes- och miljödermatologi; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Patch test; Itching nodules; Contact allergy; ASIT; Aluminium; Allergen-specific immunotherapy; Adverse event; Parental reports; vaccination;

   Abstract : The aim of the work presented in this thesis was to investigate two different types of adverse reactions, persistent itching nodules and contact allergy to aluminium, after immunization with aluminium-containing vaccines and aluminium-containing allergen extracts used for allergen-specific immunotherapy (ASIT). The first paper describes active parental reporting of adverse events (AEFIs) after a booster dose of diphtheria-tetanus vaccine (DT). READ MORE

4. 2. Contact Allergy to Acrylates

   Author : Anthony Goon; Yrkes- och miljödermatologi; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; volatility; stability; screening; allergic contact dermatitis; Acrylates; baseline series; contact allergy; dental; gel permeation chromatography; high performance liquid chromatography; industrial; patch testing; methacrylates;

   Abstract : Acrylate contact allergy has been frequently reported since the 1970s, with hundreds of articles published in dermatology journals so far. The purpose of this thesis was to investigate the frequency of contact allergy to acrylates / methacrylates in patients with exposure to industrial, dental and nail uses of these substances.

   Abstract : A large number of patients are treated with coronary stents, and restenosis (recurrent narrowing of the vessel) is a serious problem. Contact allergy to metal ions eluted from stainless steel stents has been suggested to contribute to in-stent restenosis. READ MORE

6. 4. Contact allergy to formaldehyde. Diagnosis and clinical relevance

   Author : Inese Dubnika Hauksson; Yrkes- och miljödermatologi; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Allergic contact dermatitis; preservatives; formaldehyde; formaldehyde releasers; patch testing; repeated open application test; baseline series;

   Abstract : Preservatives are biologically active substances mainly used in water-based products to prevent the growth of microorganisms. Most people are exposed to them on a daily basis. Formaldehyde is one of the oldest and most commonly used preservatives. However, it is a well-known contact sensitiser in dermatitis patients. READ MORE

7. 5. Contact allergy to textile dyes. Clinical and experimental studies on disperse azo dyes

   Author : Laura Malinauskiene; Yrkes- och miljödermatologi; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Disperse Orange 1; Disperse Yellow 3; metabolites; azo reduction; p-aminodiphenylamine; 4-nitroaniline; 2-amino-p-cresol; 4-aminoacetanilide; TLC; HPLC; guinea pig maximisation test.;

   Abstract : Disperse dyes are the most common allergens among textile dyes. It is not known whether the purified dyes, impurities in the commercial dyes, or metabolites are the actual sensitisers. Moreover, it is not known whether those disperse dyes that are now present in test series are actually used in textile dyeing today. READ MORE
